I personally do not think it will look good in the 2GS headlights... Our headlights are more curvy and don't have any significant straight lines. LEDs, IMO, only look good when assembled in a straight line. It would look weird to me; I would stay away from them.

you are right our headlights are curvy and I have seen those to be done on curvy headlights, but don't know how it will look, I was thinking of doing photoshop and see how does it look, but honestly even photoshop don't help as much as u see it done in actual headlights.

Haha. Post pictures of the outcome. Our headlights are one piece as well, just the reflectors are in completely separate housings.
I assume you're getting both housings done?

Here's a price I got from them for all the mods I wanted on my lights.
Mods:
1. Paint- I want Black
2. Halo- If you can white and blue
3. Demon eye- white and blue
4. Glow mod- blue
5. R8 mod- white
But the only thing is I would have to send him the aftermarket projector headlights w/ the halo.($300)
I do admit its pretty pricey, but you get what you pay for.
So if I did this the total would be $300+$875=$1,175

This is what I got as an answer:
"Well the lights you've shown me here would be a good platform to start with. It has a projector in it which we may be able to modify to look better. It'd be cheaper than doing a full retro on a set of OEM lights that's for sure. The mods you have listed below would be $875 shipped back to you if you send those lights here though. It's a good bit of work that's for sure."

My main concern with what your proposing is spending $1,175 and the light your driving by is still going to suck. Those ebay projectors are sub par as far as output quality goes. Do a true retro and add these additional mods to that. You can get used gs300/400 housings for cheap these days if you can't send yours in due to it being a daily driver. And then sell your daily lights to recoupe some money once you get the finished set.
Please take no offense, I just wouldn't recommend that kind of money go into lighting without getting any better driving lights out of the deal.

it'll look like ***... no offense. I think your trying to cram too much into the headlight but its your $ and I think its worth it if you like it.... the 1st post is total sales plug... plenty of ppl that do custom headlight work I dont see why these guys deserve any plug especially when they haven't even touched your headlights yet and have no Lexus headlights to show.

The mods could be nice if done tastefully, all those you listed in the same light seems a bit much..

Yeah I know that they haven't done GS lights, but I do like the work they do.
Thanks I will try when I decide to get my lights.
