Cool WTT... LS430 retrofit for M45 or maybe Q45 retrofit

Been considering this lately... As the title states im thinking about a possible trade. I have no complaints about my current setup... I just honestly like the M45 shroud much more and the crazy look of the Q45.

I have OEM clear halogen headlights
LS430 projectors
Luxurymods brackets
TSX clear lenses
All the tabs and snorkel hoses are present

This being my first retrofit my first seal wasnt 100% so i opened them again and resealed... Not a single problem since. There are plenty of pictures in my profile album and a few threads.

I dont care what u paid per item for the retrofit as much as it being sealed properly and everything is present. I prefer local so we dont have to ship but if shipping is the only way i will pay for my own.

I did offer this trade to one member but i wanted to post this to get feelers incase it doesnt go through as he has been flooded with offers already ^_^

Message me if interested and i can take current pics anytime. Straight trade cover ur shipping i'll cover mine. IMO the LS430 is the best projector but i just dig the look of these other two. Q45 possibly a downgrade in function but an upgrade in sick.

If you have a different retrofit setup throw it out there... Anything can happen.

Not looking for oem hid +cash cause my philips ultinons arent gonna work out. If i need a vouch i can get that tomorrow on my lunch.

If these dont move i'll do my own M45 retrofit and u'll be the first up for these to sell. No pitting or cracks in the headlight lens and the projector & clear lens was wiped with a new eye glass cloth prior to the install and seal. I also wiped the chrome bezel down with it after.

your bugging, the LS430 has one of the best light output. The q looks nicer but has mediocre light output compared to the ls. Trading style for functionality I guess.

thats your best bet i think, i just bought m45 projectors for 135 from retro fit, clear lense is another 40, and then the brackets from lm is 60.. you can sell your set up for way more.
