Hey everyone, I've looked through the forums as best I can but haven't seen anything on this - are there any aftermarket headlights for the ls 430? There's nothing on carid.

 

No thankfully there aren't, aftermarket replacement headlights would be a downgrade from the OEM. What is wrong with your headlights? Either get them repaired or find a clean set on ebay.

 

...wouldn't that depends on what the aftermarkets looked like...?

 

No I can guarantee you won't find an aftermarket headlight that is of better quality than the original. You may find some rare one off retrofitted VIP q45 projector headlights but nothing mass produced.

 

Nah, 99.9% of those are hot garbage. Best bet to get better output would be to do a proper HID Retrofit with a Projector assembly like what you can have done by Lightwerkz, for example. Cost-wise it won't be cheap, but the results will speak for themselves.

 

Even those Q45 projectors suck. Much better keep with the stockers or do a traditional projector retro fit. Personally, I think the stockers are great as well as the high beams.

 

Retrofits are the way to go.

I installed Morimoto Mini D2S 4.0 Projectors and Profile LED high beams in my wife's '01. Much better light output than the OEM HID reflector lights.

 

Get your wallet out....

GEEZUS CRISCO! wow...that's ridiculous XD

 

Found a photo.

 

Looks great.

Do you have instructions how you did it?

 

There's a few sets for sale second hand on Yahoo Japan Auctions .
I think down the track I'll go this way as I will LED ones .
It will then enable me to play around with my stock ones .Something like this https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r180744280

 

I just remembered not much good for you as pattern for right hand drive !!

 

I don't have a full how to, but I did take a handfull of pictures as I went along I could email if you wanted them.

The retrofit of these wasn't any harder than any others I've done. Oven to pull lens, disassemble, drill out low beam hole for mounting, mount projector. Rinse/repeat for high beam. Then lots of belt sander work to fit the shrouds and epoxy them on.

 

KEEP your headlights! I paid $250 to highly rated detailer, NW Auto Salon in Lynnwood, WA, had my 03's fully restored and then covered with XPEL protection film. They looked amazing, and the XPEL secured them. Don't buy aftermarket.
