Looks so awesome!!! Very high quality work, looks OEM....how Lexus should've done the headlights (esp the daytime running ones) in the first place. How do the HIDs look at night?

Btw, the entire car looks extremely nice as a whole, very clean!

These are the best headlights I've seen retrofitted on the LS430. INCREDIBLE work. You should start a business and sell these commercially. Haha, I'd buy them!

Good job. Retro came out great.

Q45 output is pretty good for a projector that was introduced in 2002. Of course you cant compare its performance to 04-06 LS430 for LS430 being the widest but not the brightest projectors out there. Q45 projector looks 100 times better compared to LS430.
