Eyeliners is down the road yet.

YOU WANTS you got money?

The corners are new and they look better in person , but clearing the corners is a possibilty,but I have something else in mine. ( and don't ask! )

also PureDrifter the mounting brackets are very time consuming, because both sides need to be the same, and then the corner lights need brackets also.

Are those aftermarkets or did you have those lenses made? If they're aftermarket headlamps, where did you pick them up? I've been searching for Lexus aftermarket for a long time now but decided I'd have more luck creating them vs looking for them since Lexus aftermarket headlamp support is I don't know .01% lol

They look damn good by the way In all actuality, I don't remember the LSs' lenses being so clear even on the HID equipped ones.
