They are possible, just tough to get really nice output due to the lines on the LS400 lens.

Just finished up another SC retro with TSX projectors w/ Xenon shroud.


As you can see, our brackets installed make this a breeze to install + retains all factory adjustments!

TSX, E46/Audi TT, E39/X5 are our favorites to use!

Not diggin' the Q45 retrofit, but the LS430's projectors look mean as hell on the GS. Great work.

once u do the LS430 retrofit, would it be smart to change bulb from 4300k to 6000k for a bit more blue look? i know you sacrifice light output but the LS430 w/ the widebeam gets so much output already ... is it wise to change the bulb color?

That would be up to the end user...you can change your bulbs out at any time...

6k would be the highest we'd ever use though.

Maybe find another set of headlights? A good chance to get some nicer lenses in case yours are all pitted up.

You can drop off those LS460's you have and we'll get working on that (bracketwise). After that's done, we should be able to knock this out for you pretty quick!
