LS430 for the output...
LS460 for the exclusiveness...

What do you want more ?

The 460's do stand out and are rarer. How much of an output differance is there? I'd sacrifice a little bit of light for the looks.

Get the 430s. I'm the only one I know of with retrofitted 460s and I'd like it to stay that way.

Thanks

Those 460's look amazing, I think those and the Q45's are the only ones I really like the looks of in a GS headlight. To me, they fill in the headlight and look like they belong there much more than a smaller assembly.

I've got 430's. You won't be disappointed. They have the best actual output of anything you can get, including the 460's.

What places do you guys recommend going to for the 430 or 460 retro for a GS 2nd gen. I don't think I can do the retro myself. Not good with that type of work.
