Here is an updated pic of the front lip. I straightened the front edge out. Many aftermarket lip installs on the 3IS have the lip all crooked bowing upward. Takes some fine tuning and a critical eye to get it straight! I'm pretty happy with it. Also you can't tell from the pic too much (I'll take good ones in the daylight soon) but I painted the fog light trim in gloss--same color as the F Sport grill =) (Did the paint work myself)
OK here's some pics. All camera settings locked in manual and unchanged shot to shot. No auto exposure of any kind.
Corolla LEDs only...
Corolla LEDs with low beams turned on. It's possible the stock IS projectors or LEDs or some combination is identical to the Corolla units. The pattern is nearly identical. The Corolla is made by Koito and I'm certain the Lexus ones probably are too.
Corolla LEDs + low beams + high beams.
Pattern against a wall. Could use some more fine tuning. At distance, the driver's side could go down a wee bit. But overall they're nice on the road and pretty even. Very time consuming to get this done. I don't want to mess with it anymore for a while.
So far driving down the road, the Corolla projectors are mounted low so can't get that much distance out of them without turning them too high and blinding people. This is fine though because they're supposed to supplement the main headlights and give more foreground lighting while the main headlights come in and give strong distance. They complement eachother well. I like it!
Dude, that's amazing work. Is it a DIY or a shop work. I'm using iJDMtoys fog lights but I really love this idea. I assume you have brighter light output on the road but don't see it in the pics, maybe pics can't do justice.
To update, I installed the dash/cabin switch for the fog lights. nice to have control. I tapped switched 12V from a nearby unused OE Lexus harness. Only weird thing is now sometimes I forget to turn off the fog lights from the night before I am driving around with fog lights on without knowing it. So I need to find parking light power somewhere near the fog light switch in by the OE BSM switch area. Anyone know of a parking light source I can tap? Of course if no reply, I'll just look around.
yeah the drop is with the springs. search my threads under my sig for info on the lip i posted.
everything I do is DIY. no shop has ever touched any of my cars. other than paint work or wheel balancing.
i've even done my own alignments on the rack before. lol

^Thanks! I'm thinking of K23 headlight dimmer switch might have a parking light signal on it. I'll verify with multimeter. (I'm really bad at those electrical diagrams)
