Default Custom Headlights

Good day guys!

Some of you might know us through social media, but we've been vendors for CL for quite some time now. And before that, we've been members here for a few more years. We are known for our Permanent Headlight Restoration service, but we do a lot of custom headlights as well. We just wanted to show off a little something we're working on!

It has an LED (true) Daytime Running Lights with Sequential turn signal switchbacks and a quad Projector Retrofit. Right now we're still undecided whether to keep the amber turn signal lens, or get it made in clear/transparent, for a more fluid clean look.

We tend to focus on the older Lexus models, and always up for the challenge of making them look "modern" and nicer, without ever looking cheap and still 100% functional. Our designs always aim for a factory look and finish, with all the modern goodies.

Anyways, let us know what you think of our work, and make sure to visit our website for more info and follow us on social media like Instagram and FaceBook to see our latest works!

Well, been messing with how to post the video for a couple of hours, but I guess Vimeo doesn't get along with CL quite well, so please just visit the link. We don't like to use YouTube because we don't want to depreciate the quality of our videos.

Just a sample of what we've done for the 1st generation SC platform.

What do you mean by scrambled? We checked it in a different device, and it plays fine.

That looks cool. Can we seem the beam pattern of the HID? How do the highbeams work with those?

I apologize I couldn't reply the entire day. We lost internet and had to wait for U-Verse to fix it. Turns out, Time Warner deliberately disconnected our line to connect theirs. SMH

Anyways, here is how the light output/beam pattern actually look like.

The high beams bulb just basically change to H1. It can either be halogen or HID, and will still project the same sharpness. A lot of people tend to think that the fluting on the lenses is what reduces the light output, but in reality those fluting were actually strategically placed to spread out the light. These headlights have been wrapped up. We'll take more action videos and photos of them soon.

So the highbeam is the same, just aimed up a little higher and with an H1 socket?

Not sure how you understand it, but the socket is standard on all bulbs, it won't change. The bulb size is the only thing that changes. This is how the cutoff of the high beams look like;

Both turned on;
