Damn could you do anything like that with our LS400. Specifically my Gen 1

 

Careful, dont get your own thread locked by the mods.

 

did you do any mods to the projectors? ie washer/shield mods?

 

Looks hot, can't wait to see them installed.

 

*** Ahem *** Cough ***

Hey guys, please don't post in here about buying/purchasing. I'm going to get pictures of the car with the lights on pretty soon and I don't want the thread to get locked. If you really must, keep it to PM. Thanks all

Teaser: Brand spankin new TL Projector retrofit + boosted high power ballasts for my car coming soon. Also, TSX projector retrofit on my parents LX470 coming soon as well Man, I'm just going HID crazy these days eh? lol

 

damn you do some really clean work.. i need to hit you up one of these days.. soon as i get my hands on a spare set of headlights..

 

Very nice job. Are the highbeams also HID? What projectors were used and what diameter are the lenses? I'm trying to decide which halogen projectors to get so it doesn't look too small or big.

 

Nice work Jeff!!! I didn't read all the posts, but were you able to keep the auto-leveling fucntion?

 

What he said

 

I wanna see some beam/installed shotS!!!!!!!!!

 

how much are q45 projectors now a days?

 

Ok, for you guys that want beam shots and pix of the car...you're gonna have to wait till Monday. I finished the work and installed it a week ago. The lights are on the other guys car and no longer in my possession. I have to find a time when he isn't busy(Monday) to be able to meet up and take pix. Don't worry, just be patitent and I'll have the pix

Well, I'm not sure if the Q45 projectors can be modded for color output and such. The optics inside it are pretty much solid one piece and very thick metal(AKA: not bendable). Other projectors such as TSX/TL projectors are way easier to mod for color and cutoff.

Yes the highs are also HID. The high beam is a E46 HID projector out of a BMW 3 series with a 3" fresnel lens. The cutoff plate was removed. Any projector will work for the high beam application, even halogen ones.

The original headlights were not HID so there was no auto levelling function to begin with. If the level function was there, then it would be kept intact.

Just check on ebay. The price always fluctuates. Usually it's about $400-650 or so depending on the condition.
