LS460 Headlight retro
Well i am doing a retro for a fellow member, It actually is different than most i do. I will post pics of the progress as i go along. But the basics are LS460 low beams and a modified high beam.

I did mine as far out as possible so I could reuse the OEM bulb cover.

Interested to see what you're doing with the high beams. Clear lens swap on the 460's is worth it imo, love my LS460 retro.

I sure hope he will be. The rest of his car is immaculate, so there was no reason to spare any with the retro

U wanna see what the highbeam is going to be? Here is a short glimpse of what is going on with that.
Also, while this stuff has been going on, i decided to start the ls430's as well. And well here is a pic of that
