That looks absolutely 100 percent better on the LEX then on the Q, although it also looks good on the Q.

How does that light system work anyways? Does it work/function the same way that the self leveling HIDs on the IS300 work, just more advanced?

go to your local infiniti dealer and ask them how much a set of the xenon lights for the Q45 go for. Then you'll realize.

Hey NateInJapan,

Any chance you can translate Soaristo's headlight conversion for us?

use altavista translator man
http://babelfish.altavista.com/

Put in the website address.


$1200 for the Q45 headlight (each or pair)?
The lexus headlight is $1200 each. so if the Q45 price is for a pair,then that is cheap.

BWT, if you don't already know, the Q45 and the new 5series bimmer are the 2 best HID headlight in the market (best in optic properties)
