Talking Ladies and Gents.....The GS Retro is done!!!!

After a week of working around the clock, I'm finally proud to introduce to the world the first Audi A6 Retrofit for the Lexus GS series vehicles. What a magnificent outcome of a project which up until now was only dreamed of.

ENJOY!!!











Hopefully I can do another one again for someone. It was kind of fun.

Hey Rominl, it took about 1 week to do simply because of work, family life, girlfriend etc. (Hehe) Anyhow, I would estimate somewhere around 12-14 hours to do (if you were to do it straight). Now I've got it down to about 6 if I were to do another set again. I love how they come out. Anyone want me to do another for you? PM me for details

It would look beautiful! PM me and we can talk about creating a special set for your LS. You have 98-99 series right?

I'm glad you like them! Now I wish you had the camera tonight afterall! Anyhow, call me if you can tonight and tell me all about it. Otherwise, we'll snap shots tomorrow evening. Did you find the beam pattern easy to aim and center? I made sure that was the main focus of keeping the form and functionality of the original GS lamp's mechanisms.
