How are you going to fit the LS430s in the IS350 housings? LS projectors are huge.

Why would you want to put new projectors in them? Don't they already come with projectors? Reason i ask is because i have a gx470 and they came with projectors, all i need was bought a 4300k hid kit and plugged them in.

Maybe because he is one of the few people who cares about doing things correctly instead of blinding everyone on the road with horrible cutoffs?

I'm not sure if you've seen the cutoffs for the gx but the cutoffs are perfectly fine. No glare, I can snap some shops for you tonight. I can't speak for other oem non-hid projectors but the ones on the gx are fine.
