Default LED devils eys and angle eyes (head light change)

Hi everyone I'm looking to change my head lights. I would like to have double projector lights and LED lights like the new Audi.

The only thing I can find for now is

http://www.cargym.com/lexus-rx330-le...ht-p-1651.html

This light only offers the Angle eyes like the BMW but no LEDs.

Does anyone know where I can find one?

Thanks

Default open it up....

I don't know if I want to put my headlight in the oven to open it up. I tried to open a head light for VW Rabbit and ending up melting the tabs.

Baking the headlights can be tricky and expensive undertaking. I know of a guy on audi forum (audizine.com) that is pretty well-versed in headlight DIY projects and had added LEDs to some users' headlights. He might do it for you if you feel adventurous but you'd have to send your headlights in. He is in Florida, I believe. let me know if you want his details...

Headlights are part of your safety feature and as such must be carefully modified. A lot of research has been devoted to headlamp design.

Just changing it to a certain type can change the safety design intent.
Leave it up to the professionals as much as possible. Just my 0.02.

i found this in Taiwan which makes most of the after market lighting stuff
http://goods.ruten.com.tw/item/show?11090213005665
it looks good, but just like what the other had said
not easy to open your head light housing up and put it back
it costs $3000 Taiwan dollars, which is about $90 in USA

No LEDs on the side, but a lot cheaper. You'll probably lose the AFS.

Any reason why these won't work on a '08 or '09? Did the headlight design/shape somehow change in '08?
