try hidplanet.com for some ls430s. They have some for sale sometimes. Or you can try theretrofitsource.com when ever they have some in stock.

You guys should try the classifieds.... i posted this up for sale this past weekend

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/2ge...eadlights.html

as far as the projectors you should have bought the ones on ebay because i just did. I offered him to do 170 plus 30 shipping and he accepted the off so 200 for them shipped. There also is someone selling his for 280 in the classifieds

Yes, those are the ones I saw on eBay but they look pretty beat up . Should I be worried about the condition of them . I also check out hid planet and some of the other hid sites they only seem to carry the rx projector

Im not really worried about how they look. Alot of times ppl wont get that close to notice. Thats also why i offered him lower than what he wanted. I guess now ill have to sell my m45 projectors
