This was the best I could do. Three of my four lights had one small screw that was already stripped before I attempted to unscrew anything so luckily I was able to fix the front two doors to be perfect. However, the back doors I could not unscrew to mess with any further. All I could do was rotate the projector so it wouldn't be as blurry as the original slanted way if you don't do anything to it. Anyone have ideas ? First to fix the stripped screws and second to fix the positioning of the two?

The light has two screws keeping it straight. Once you remove the top 3 screws and remove the coverings, unscrew those last two screws. You'll notice the light has two angles and four holes. Just change the angle from the original position to the other slanted angle and screw back in the two screws on the other two holes. Screw back everything else and reinsert the light into the door. I hope that helps.

How are you lost bro? There's pics of how to do it early in the thread. It's a simple snap on and most of us have to adjust the projector so the weather stripping is not blocking the image.

I've made my suggestion to you about changing from the front two holes of screws to the back two holes of screws. Once you do that, it's adjusted perfectly.

If I could do it anyone can! I bought the "Wind Fire D006" one from Amazon and there's a good video on their website under "Support" on how to load the Lexus logo in the housing. I assume you're past that step. Then I just popped out the factory light housing using the small tool that came with the Logo lights (they were actually meant for unscrewing the small screw on the light but a small Phillips one did that better and then I used that tool for popping out the stock factory light from the door panel). Then I just hooked the wiring connector to the new assembly and popped it right back in. Just make sure you don't have the key in the ignition during this. Didn't have to adjust anything else really on my 2014 GS. Somehow the light wasn't blocked by the rubber weather stripping in the door in my car. Hope that helps. The earlier posts had many photos and it really was easier to actually put it in the car than to load the Lexus logo inside the projector in place of the stock American flag logo it shipped with. All the best!

Late to the party - but just got these "Forever-lens door projector Fits Lexus Models(TE006-L)" from Wind Fire Auto. Look pretty slick and project a very crisp logo (please don't mind what looks like dirt dust - there is heavy pollen everywhere right now in my area):

Default Light question

[QUOTE=Runamok81;9454914]Sure. http://www.windfireauto.com/
I photoshopped the logo, and WindFireAuto printed it for me.

Tell them to re-use the image on order #3381. Below.

Hey I noticed that on the picture you posted of the light further away from your car, it was a little small, I see here that you edited the size, did you want it that size or is that the biggest they can make the logo? I’m asking cause I really like the design and I’d like to put it on my IS350C .
