Default Headlight projector

I'm sure this topic has been discussed here but what's up with Lexus giving the LS better headlight projector than GS?

The LS HID headlight projector is hella bright...like 5x more than ours. whats up with that?

don't know the answer to your question; but if you really want to, you could swap in better projectors in (not sure if LS projectors will fit). there's a website all on hid projector upgrades in this link below:

hope this helps you.

you can but you have to be sure you seal the lights back up good. the hardest part is taking off and putting back on the lense.

Funny enough, the Lancer according to Mitsubishi has a brighter HID headlamp than the LS.
