I always did think the Gettin's were great on your car BlueLex. I'm glad you've got them back on.

I know this is OT also but I have the same type problem the rollmodel does. I had a retrofit done and the bulb that is in the retrofit does not mount properly to the ballast I took from my HID kit. The ballast has two prongs that attach to the HID bulb and the HID bulb in the retrofit takes a circular type mount from the ballast. Anyone know what I can do? I will try to upload pics

Rich, your ballasts are not gonna work with your retro, because they are ballasts from a kit, you are gonna need to buy you some D2R/D2S ballasts, you can get them from ebay, or go to Hidplanet.com and go to the classified section you should be able to get a pair for around $120-200. If you need any help PM me bro.

You have projectors so you are going to need to use D2S bulbs, not D2R....

D2R is made for headlamps that are the reflector type ie. the OEM lexus HID with no projector

D2S is made for headlamps that have a projector in it. ( what you have )
