Default ES300 Retrofit (RX330 Projector)

Hello,

First of all I would like to thank TRS team as well as HID plannet team members for their continous support. This my first retrofit I do on my ES300. I've used OEM new ballast, one is Denso while the other one is Koito.

The items are as follows:
- RX330 AFS / TSX-R Lens
- D4S Morimoto XenGreen
- 1x Iris (shrouds) (option Value)
- Bosch relay

The result are amazing, the light is great. Please feel free for any comment, suggestions and critique..

Definitely an improvement. Is your driver's side light aimed a little low, though?
How much did the conversion run you?

Thanks guys, my car is left hand drive, on the driver side the cut-off is lower than right hand side in order not to blind the coming drivers, the projectors retrofit is the best among HID systems, but it should be carefully adjusted at max same as the cut-off of the OEM halogen.

In my case still I am adjusting the cut-off hight. My blast are new OEM Denso / Kioto (2 x $220) and the projectors costs me $345 including shipping as well as the shoruds and the bulbs.

I was not caring for the price as much as the results.

wow that is one of the best mod. good work. plus what an improvement in light output. Now that fog light is useless huh .Even with oem HID those fog lights output are just of no use.
Thinking of doing HID for fogs ??

I think you'll be okay aiming it even with the other side. After all, it's higher in the RX. Consider that the factory systems are usually level.

Thanks for having a look and for your kindwords, ofcourse I've cut the light housing, to mount the projector, there is morimoto projector, which does not required any cutting, but I prefer the RX projector over that.

Thank you, you are right, once I tried to use them, almost no difference with them or without, also if you look at the car from outside, its not looking nice with HID and normal fogs, I will not mount projectors on them because the lighting from the low beam are enough, but I am thinking to use the yellow bulbs (same as the LS400) fogs light, for foggy wheather, and its gives the TOYOTA impression

Correct, I am still thinking on incrasing the hight, and thanks for shairng the retrofit project ..

One thing we should consider is not blinding comming drivers ..
