Would you be willing to do it for a fee if I ship you out the new housing and projector? I dont trust myself on getting the angle right on the cutting.My headlights will probably end up lighting up low like fog lights.

could have it done here (Vietnam) at as low as 30 bucks but shipping cost would kill you

they did not align the projector with light on the way people normally do. they just "align" with their eye

we dont need it aligned perfectly in the first place as we can still always correct the beam when its installed on car. beams on eagle eye headlights can be adjusted

I know, but I don't have that on my comp. And this forum obviously doesn's support the program, lol. So, you in CA or Vietnam? I know in VN, we can get labor works done for very very cheap. Heck, a friend of mine get a whole wide bodykit hand made by metal for about $500

Default 1990 lexus ls400 headlights

When you bought those headlights did they say they would fit on a 1990 lexus ls400 or did they say they were only for a 93 and 94 ls400 because those are the only ones i see on ebay and i really want those headlights for my 1990 lexus ls400. Do you know if they will fit anyway on the 1990?

The 90-92 LS400 uses 9004 bulbs in the low/high beam. The 93-94 LS400 uses 9003/HB2/H4 bulbs. To use the Eagle Eyes on your 1990 LS400, you'll have to splice in connectors for 9003/HB2/H4 bulbs -- the connectors are available at auto parts stores and easy to splice in ... I've done it on several cars. Sometimes I've left the original connectors in place in case I want to put OEM headlights back in.

u dont really need to splice and re-attach connectors, u can just push the connectors out of the plastic housing on the bulb side and just stick the connectors in the plastic housing on the harness. theres a lil trick to taking those connectors out tho, its not hard once u figure out how to get them out haha
