Default My 98 GS400

Just got a GS for my daily. Great body and engine. Tony from Luxury Mods custom made me a set of Projector HID Fog Lights along with OEM HID and 6K LED driving light bulbs. He also change out of my my OEM interior light bulbs to 6k LED and WOW.... Extremely WHITE BRIGHT.... Other than that... this will be my daily.

What size are the projectors (diameter)? I know blazer projectors will fit down there, but I have a set of AMG projectors sitting here in a box and if I can fit those, booo yah!

These are the mini projectors found in RX300 headlights.

I wish I had taken measurements. Pretty snug fit, anything taller in diameter would not have fit.

Tony charged me $150 but not sure what it is for the public. However, I paid an additional $50 for tips since he did a such a great job on them.
