I agree!!! the different color lenses do look a little odd, but the projectors are just sick!!! Especially having the self leveling feature.....any more details on these???

wow, the infinity m35/45 hids looks great on the gs. wondering if they can swop out the lenses to clear for a sharper cutoff? regardless, sweet looking.

i think the greenish hue is coming from the projector and not the gs trim pieces, which are chrome.

Generally, clear lens are often sharper at the cutoff than frensel lenses.

Try those projectors with 300zx or LS430 lens

Thats the hotness... so obviously, the Projector retrofit CAN be done with the auto-level.

Yes...those are Infiniti M35/M45 projectors....my neighbor just bought one....and I noticed the projectors immediately.

Output looks good....cutoff line is sharp....but not quite as sharp and wide as the Honda S2000.

As for color....my neighbor's HIDs don't have that purplish or bluish color at certain angles....looks kinda yellowing (4300K)...but output on wall is white.
