Hi Guys,

I'm new to this site and I see that some of you guys did a great job on Your 98-05 GS with LS 430 projectors. I'm wanting to do it myself but does not have time time and the tools or material to complete the project. ANYONE ON HERE WILLING TO RETROFIT FOR ME FOR A FEE????

THANKS!! OR ANY LINKS WILL HELP

Do a search here and at hidplanet. There are plenty of people willing to help you along the way if you get the parts and do it yourself. You will probably have a hard time finding someone to make you a set, and if you do be ready to spend a little cash.

Have you guys ever seen the LS460 projectors...now those are pretty sweet. They use real crystal in the lenses, not just regular glass

There's a pair on ebay right now. They look pretty cool. I'm redoing my LS430 retrofit right now to get it perfect. Hey Jeff, do you know an easy way to remove the glue from the housings and lenses without damaging them? I'm talking about the glue that holds the lenses in.

I can't wait until someone retrofits them.

Urdone,

I dont mind doing the retros myself, one question tho...what it is that you use to reseal the headlights together?? Automotive silicon?? I've been using that for my Honda Accord retrofit and it looks really messy!! These GS headlights are really expensive and I just dont want to mess it up (or make it look messy) The rubber seal that goes around the headlight, would I be using the same material to seal that and the headlight as well??? thx!!!

Check JeffTsai's DIY website. He has a step by step DIY retrofit on there. It is very helpful, and we are all happy Jeff put it on there.

bbklover, just resuse the sealant thats already on there. It's a temperature sensitive glue so heat makes it soft and reusable again. Heat it up in the oven and press all the sealant back down in the crack as much as you can and then put on the front lens. It usually requires a lot of heat and reheat cycles to get it perfect. The other "easier" solution is to get some automotive headlight sealant. It's black and kinda messy to work with but it gets the job done.

I might beat him to it lol. I'm thinking about ditching the Q45 retro for a LS460 retro. Gotta have the title for first LS460 retro in a GS ya know I might have another Q45 up for grabs if I decide to use the LS460 unit instead lol.

Actually, I'm going for the LS600, not the LS460 But even that's in the air right now since i'm considering going for a turbo setup.


someone mentioned that the LS460 projectors doesn't have as much output as the LS430 (probably little difference), but man the LS460 shroud is so much better. I wouldn't mind using the LS460 shroud!

Yeah, but the LS600 is a LED type setup with 3 projectors per side. I'm not sure how that would fit in the housing or how it would look lol. Might be a little funky since it won't flow with the shape of the GS headlights.

The main tool you're going to need is the dremel rotary.
You can reseal with the existing adhesive.

I have the perfect shell for you if you're going with the 600
