All you would possibly need is a wire harness and that's it. You'd be good to go with this retrofited into your vechicle. Whic Lex do you drive? You may need some sort of shroud to cover the projector in your headlight depending on the car its going into

If you guys want to retro your sc's you would need 3 inch projectors to make it look oem. I have a valeo d1s kit that I can post pictures of and the price is also less then on that site.

the projector is roughly the size of the oem projector thus you wont have the problem of having a smaller diameter projector lense inside looking way of normal. pm if anyone is interested.

Those are valeo projectors that came out of a jag, audis use valeo's in there a4's. Valeo projectors are realllly easy to mod for more color at the cut of but the great thing about these is there lens is 3 inches wide which would sit pretty flush in any halogen housing. And yes they come with bulbs and ballast.

Here's an example of what to expect.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...light=retrofit

Only I suggest painting the housing trim a flat silver or black like my ES300 retrofit

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ES300+retrofit

to avoid the glare and hot spots above his cuttoff line so it comes out cleaner output wise

As for the wire harness, I can help you with that.

what are you talking about? I've got Valeo's and the lenses have always been 2.5 inches...
