Teasers b/c you love *** lights....
wow Justin really over did himself this time..... aka LCA575
cleanest projector mod I've EVER seen! we've been in contact w/ eachother for some time now and he's been really good about taking care of all the small details for me w/ these lights.
Satin black housing... I asked him to match along my theme of car... Bentley Black, w/ Powdercoated BLack wheels, n black interior.. tripple decked! so he came up w/ a really good match to compliment my theme and still contrast a bit. AWESOME!
Q45 proj. w/ M3 Proj. mods....
smoked clear turn signals....
modified GS halogens to fit ballasts under the headlights
up to date customer service
Painted Q45 projector face
and one damn CLEAN install!!!!
I rarely praise anyone this much but Justin really out did himself and proved to me he is the man when it comes to these retrofits and custom paint for headlights.
I was gonna wait to post pics of the lights on my car when everything was done but damn I just couldn't wait. I got the tingles again!!!

So thats what he did with my Q45 projectors. Atleast they went into another set of GS headlights. My ballasts and 6000k bulbs too 
memories Justin is a really nice guy. He needs to part out his IS now while he still can and start saving for the new is350.

also do you have to paint the headlight
is there a reason for that
im about to start this project myself
and was wondering do you need the hid headlights to do this
can use the halogen headlights if you fit the ballast
what bulbs did you use
so many questions i apoligize

PM LCA575 for specifics on pricing and turnaround time. I supplied him w/ all the lights and gear so it would vary depending on what you have already and what he needs to supply for you.... etc etc.... I recommend him b/c he takes so much pride in his work and is really meticulous in his outcome.
I normally would recommend ppl to tackle these DIY projects but in this case I didn't even trust myself to do it, and searched around various prior Q45 projector installers until I finally decided on Justin. And I've opened up plenty of headlights back in the day w/ the DDE IS300's.... he's always been the more competent guy to do lights ever since I can remember, then when I saw Gammalex's install w/ Justin's help.. I knew he was my man!
for your questions:
the bulbs are 6000k Phillips
My headlights are Halogen and Justin found a way to mount the ballast onto my headlight, which is really cool b/c I wasn't even expecting this. I still have full adjustments w/ leveling of the headlights w/ Justin's brackets. All n all, top notch work to the T. I've yet to find a flaw but should i find one I'm sure he'll correct it.
painting the headlight is totally subjective... originally I had opted to leave my headlights the mirror finish but as I looked on more and more, i felt it best to paint the housting a contrasting color to accentuate the Q45's..... Originally I was thinking a titanium metallic silvery type finish but opted last minute w/ black..... but I was picky about which black because I didn't want it to be flat and I didn't want it to match up to my paint perfectly. I'm a big fan of contrasts and Justin came up w/ Satin Black which is a nice medium between a high gloss black and a flat finish. Painting the headlight is not necessary, so do what you'd like.....
