Default 2001/2002 LS430 Projectors - Where? How?

Hi guys,
I have a 2001 LS430, all standard toys inside

My headlights are normal xenon headlights - no projectors

Is there any way/somewhere to buy projectors kit (one that you can just install without cutting things and similar) for these ships?

Thanks guys

Unless there is a JDM solution I don't know about, I can not imagine any way to retrofit projectors in the factory housings without some significant modification. I bet there are new housings with projectors on Ebay (although I didn't find any), but those are always CHEAP quality and yellow quickly.

When I had my '02, I was happy just to have Xenons to begin with.

For the money you'd spend modifying those lights...

I'd recommend replacing your LS with a 2004+ model.

There is one LS430 '04 available for ~ US$ 69.100 by the Lexus agent here....doe the car has 2400 miles (4000KM) on a clock (it is - new)

Any other suggestions for projectors, or it's just tough luck?

P.S.I do agree that having xenon's is already a big thing - but I am blind on one eye, so for me anything that can bring better light is precious

retrofitting projectors could be one thing done. but why not just purchase a HID system?

I'm not capable of doing the projectors my self but I also doubt there is anyone here that can do it properly

I guess I can just put HID's in fog lights, and hope for the best...
