The link above was posted a couple of days ago. Its Racingstylez LS.

Beangrower also had the same projectors in his Zenki headlamps.

Gato also had custom headlamps as well (Kouki though) with LED's.

I did take it appart and had my friedn spray the chrome black w/ gloss clear. I also removed the amber lens and made clear lens out of lexan plastic.
Can you please provide detailed instructions on how you removed the headlight assemblies from the car?

As far as changing out projectors, you guys with 04-06's already have projectors that are god's gift to the automotive world. What I would do is swap out to a clear lens and if they fit, 2010 and up LS460 Bi-xenon projectors with clear lens where the high beams are. That would be the ultimate setup!

Hey Lads

Do these headlights just come apart by unscrewing the unit

OR

Do they have to be baked in the oven to separate them from the seals?

I want to spray the insides of mine high gloss black

Yeah I want to know as well! Do you have to bake the 04-06 headlights to separate them? I certainly don't want condensation forming in the lenses afterwards if I opened them.

yes of course they would have to be baked to separate the lens from the housing.

if anyone is looking to do the mod on that brown LS, the projector used is from a infinity Q45 or a Nissan coma (F50) i believe. Anyone feel free to correct me if i am wrong.
