Default LS430 Retro Question

Hey guys i was just doing some research and only came up with one solution. I have a IS300 and saw one guy do the retro. Is there anybody else who has done this conversion. If so how much did it cost you to do the entire set up. Also is there any place out there that does these conversions? Thanks for your help and time.

It will cost you around $500 to do this retrofit yourself.

It all depends on the projectors you use. There are projectors that cost $100-150 (TSX, RX330, FX35/45, TL) and there are projectors that cost $250-500 (RX350 bi-xenon, LS430, Q45). And that's just for a set of projectors. Add some clear lenses that go for $30-40 plus ballasts $100-160, shrouds $40-50, quality bulbs $95-150, mounting brackets to mount projectors correctly $60-150, add wiring harness and you are looking at $500-800.
