that problem can be simply fixed with a custom shroud...speaking of which, are you going to put in one? mad props for having 4 projectors...I can only dream about that level of awesomeness.

That came out very sick!! But you stated that you used the LS430's in the high beam area? They look really weird to me, what happened to the bowl that is usually under the ls430 projectors?

that cutoff is sick but like mckrevice said, housings don't match up too well. During the day the headlights look out of place.

I hadn’t planned on it. Even though I have the old gen headlights, probably the same style that he took out, I don’t really have a problem with them. At least not enough to start modding them. If someone sold the assembly as a whole that was OEM looking with say the LS460’s, I would be interested.

Wait can you explain your E46 situation? Do you have the bi-xenon feature in the high beam (inners)? Can you take shots of the lights from your engine bay for fitment?

I believe his inners are LS430 projectors that were cut down.

his outters are the bi-xenon bimmer ones.
