Yeah I need to keep looking to see where else I can get it. I'm sure there are a handful of places to source it; I kind of want to do something unique to the actual headlight, not sure though

After looking at the harness that Brian posted and the one I posted, they do look different. I just saw it the other day but wasn't sure if it would work.

Yeah, I realized that shortly after posting. *sigh. So expensive.

On a positive note anyhow, after some e-mailing around and some legwork, I believe there is another place outside of YAJ to source these harnesses. So no rush for me to pick up these, because there's definitely more than only 2 left.

It's relatively close to plug and play, but you're right, it's not a "complete" harness; I believe their just conversion plugs to utilize the LED. It's almost like a "custom" shortcut harness a 3rd party company has put together as another option to solve the LS600 headlight conversion. Some of the cars on Minkara are actually running the ebay option so either way does work. Good to know there are some options out there.

Yeah, the harness isn't a hard thing to figure out/purchase for that matter. I'm going to add a little twist to the LS600 headlights before I install them anyway, so I'm definitely going to take my time w/ this mod.

No, I ordered the kit in December, but with Tokyo Auto Salon every January, I don't anticipate receiving this kit until end of March at the very earliest. After March, my anticipation will start to get a little antsy though.

2012 is definitely going to be changes for my car, MP Aero, headlights, new wheels getting built, suspension, and brakes. just gotta take my time and make sure all the stuff is on point before getting it installed.

I can't wait much longer either.

Had the opportunity to work with local member Joe Z to test fit/install/dyno a PTS JoeZ Series exhaust last night. The only question we both had prior to installation was whether or not this axle back would fit the LWB cars, because AFAIK all other LS460s that previously had this exhaust installed were SWB. Needless to say, the fitment was a non-issue.

Before people start chiming in with their dyno questions, yes, I understand a dyno may not have been "necessary" for this particular chassis, and I know with my current wheel set up the conditions aren't ideal, etc etc. End of the day, I asked a friend for a favor to use his shop's dyno, and figured, at the very least, it would be interesting to see what the numbers would be.

First impressions from the drive home last night: enjoyed finally getting to hear this v8 exhaust note, definitely noticeable throttle response, and solid product construction. No complaints here and I would not hesitate to recommend this product to any other members on this board. Lots of threads have been started asking what sort of exhaust systems are available for our cars, and in my opinion, this is definitely one of the good ones.

Personally for me, I think as soon as my mode parfume aero arrives (whenever that may be), I may be adding some Sense Brand exhaust tips of my own to spice up the finish of this exhaust.
