^^ Ahhhhh I see, Kipod had shown his project a while back and yes those are Valeo High beams. The LS430s have TSX clear lenses as far as I can recall.

A random bowl that came with a coaster set I found at Ikea. I think it was called "cookie". I trimed the bowl to make it work. Im not a chrome kind of guy, but I do like the factory chrome bezel over the painted black one I had in there. Looks good Kenny.
