Yeah dude, I can tell that took a lot of work. But it looks great. I would like to do something like that but I wonder if there's a way to tint the housing with the slight green tint like on the newer Lexus' headlights. I love that green tint look, it makes it look so luxurious. Any ideas on how to achieve that?

You have the same people designing multiple setups for different cars, and they all inherently end up looking the same.

I think the majority of people on here, enjoy the purist aspect and pride of owning a Lexus. To each their own, if those who want the car to just be another "me too" car, with all of the "me too" looks of every other car on the road that we see over and over and over and over and over then why not just buy that car (ie: Honda civic, vw jetta, etc)????

Just my 2 bucks adjusted for inflation.

Hey man, when you say praying/crying, I totally feel you. I didn't cry though; I'm sure you didn't either, but when I took apart my stock lamps to clean the inside, the final outcome was never the same as original again . That was the biggest mistake, and then you had to deal with the temporary condensation in the lamps until after one hot day . That's why, I'm looking for another set pretty soon.

full set on my Soarer:



my feelings:

I hate angel eyes on the soarer/sc. Im not too fond of the indicator style. Im going to do a chopshop to get a mix'n'match of the originals with this aftermarket job. Overall, they are ok... but not for me.
