I completely forgot about those. Those are definitely the best.

Uhhh sorry guys that's the only picture I could find of the car. But the guys overseas either use custom LS600 brackets for the retrofit, or the real deal. I've also seen the 5 projector headlight in the outers, just trying to find them right now

pretty simple. sand with 800 grit, then 1000 grit then polish with rubbing compound..then apply the super secret ingredient...and shazam brand new looking headlights.

This way is garbage. If you're lucky you'll get 6 months of clarity, but usually 3. These "restorations" are for the OLD plastic ones that turn yellow because ANYTHING is better than what those look like. You do it for the little fogging we get, sure it will look ok, but once it all wears off, it becomes worse than what it use to be.

The ONLY way it should be done is the exact same process with the sanding but then get them clear coated, cut and buffed and you'll be good to go forever.

and yea, oem best way to go.

you should do a retro fit with q45:



or LS430:



or any other projector. the q45 LOOKS best, the LS430 preforms BEST. LS460 fills the cavity better, but not as pretty.

M45



FX-R



When doing the retro fit, thats a great time to get the lenses clear coated on both the inside and outside. Doing this can kill 2 birds with one stone and save lots of money.
