Question Retrofitting? Headlight Projector Needed!

Hi everyone! I am new and I will apologize if I don't make sense and hopefully you all can forgive me. I just have couple of questions and concerns. Been searching thoroughly in all the forums, just havent found a true answer.

Anyways, my car ('08 RX350) didn't come with projector headlights. Passenger side is condensed with water and really annoyed by it. I wanted to buy a pair of decent projector headlights so I could have HID.

I have read that RX330 '03-06 Headlight fits 2008 RX350 models. Is this true?

Since it didn't come with HID & AFS, could I buy Projector Headlight with AFS? YES? NO?

I've looked at many headlight choices from many different sites (ebay, amazon, etc) and couldn't decide what to get. Looking further in and on, I confuse myself and get frusterated on what do I really need. Basically, what I need is a pair of good, reasonable fair price with Projectors in them. AFS or not I don't think i need them. But, what do you guys suggest and where to get?

Here are some links I've looked into and can't decide. Please help. Thank you!

Pricing at $682.88 (Way too high in price for me, but it looks fancy)

Half of what JDM priced at, but dont know these are high quality for light output. (Too good to be true, as they say, YOU PAY WHAT YOU GET)

I just wondered if anyone dealt with these guys (Links Below) for retrofitting projector headlights from them. I have no knowledge of doing it nor attempting to do them myself, because I know I will screw them up.

Where I live no one here (I think) in Michigan does anything like retrofitting services. But I have checked that in the East coast, NY, NJ, & VA does offer services. Prices are HORRENDOUS!

Please help!!!

Lightwerkz is one of the vendors of HIDplanet. They're legit. Haven't heard of the others though

AFS could be done but not easy (a lot of wiring and sensors). I would just go for HID only.....

vietxtcboi when you get into retrofitting, it's never cheap because most of the time it's very labor intensive.
If HID is all you after, just buy a pair of factory headlights and call it the end of the day. If you are looking to do more, you need to start saving $$$$.

I have my quad hid retrofit done last year with hyper ballasts and LED DRL. very factory looking and retain AFS function too. You can take a look at the link below

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/hyb...ompletion.html

The guy who did the retrofit is pretty well known in the retrofit market. He has done several projects with Honda, Toyota, Scion, Acura even American cars. His rate is not cheap but his family own both mechanic and high end body shop that he has access to which is why he has skills to make your project very factory looking.
Check it out and if you are interested in doing one, i can forward you his contact
