I'm doing a LS430 retrofit on my headlights. However, I don't like the condition of my OEM lens (I've tried plastx, buffing, sanding, etc)

I only want to buy aftermarket headlights to cannibalize the lens (and maybe chrome shroud since I have the SD gray ones)


My Question:
Any body know which brand will sell the ones with the green tint? Everywhere I've been states 98-05 but don't mention whether they have green tint or not. wondering if anyone had past experiences and knew the answer before I start emailing vendors

And, can someone set the record straight? Is the green tint from the actual lens or from the chrome shroud/bezel in the headlights? (im leaning towards the bezel)

Thanks Brian for clarifying on the green tint

Not sure if I'm going to sell the inners - but if I do, I'll let you know first.
I'm looking for new/minty lens. Car should be coming out of the shop (mold TTE lip, led mirrors, ltuned grill, etc) and I want everything to look new.

Show us pics of your LS beam output. I got e30 clear lens and colormod done to mine from the seller. Just need to do the install now

IIRC, Brian got LS430 retrofits from another member.

Depo is what I used for my tacoma retrofit - just need to make sure they are the green tinted ones since they advertise as 98-05

i bought macd7919's already swapped LS430 retro's so i got OEM 2001+ HID housings with a LS430 projector in them....

well let me know soon, im fixing to open these ones as there was a problem in shipping and it requires opening them so no output shots ATM

The Luxurymod brackets I ordered are out of stock for 2 weeks per Tony so I won't be prying my headlights apart until I have all my parts. But don't wait up on me.. as I'm not even sure I want to sell the inners yet. We can compare output shots later

You going with OEM ballasts or upgrading? I'm considering do 50watt ballasts vs my OEM 35's
