Get me a sticker!
on a side note, what do u guys think about a TL projector retro on in my gs headlights? i know u guys love the gattling gun q45's projectors, but those are too rare to come by these days and tl's are sweet!
LMAO, we don't do mods for functionality, we do it cause it looks good.
But seriously, 'downgrading' the Lexus front to a TL projector isn't going to do your car any justice. Take your time and go the Q45 right if you're going to do a headlight upgrade. Mod up, not down (or with the Q45, laterally).
What's your end goal? More light output? or Cosmetic?
If it's more light output, the simplest mod is to change from a 4300 bulb to 6000 (going any higher will decrease light output) and going hid in your fogs.
Keep in mind your end goal should also include any body kit mods you're planning down the road. Projectors don't flow with all kit styles. Most go with the Q45 mod because it doesn't really change the overall look of the GS front until you're up close. The 'halo' light design was a fad here but after it was done and more people saw it in person, it kind of died quickly. But once again, this is just my .02, feel free to make change. lol

end goal is light output....
6000k is not a means for more light output though, that is cosmetic, though i will do 6000k regardless
to get the e55 or tl bixenons.. i never said anything about doing a halo... ifind it tacky since i dont drive a bmw..... i would just put a nice shroud and then call it a day. classy and plain.

Check the link Gsoup posted, that's the route most are heading toward that seems to work.
