See the proof in this thread. This is glare, even with projectors!

Later when you retro LS430's, you will still retain the auto leveling!
I thought leveling doesn't work without the sensors? Which is what turned me away from going OE HID. No reason to get them if I go retro soon after and the leveling doesn't function...

It wont function if the car doesnt come with autoleveling hids. since there is a sensor on the front suspension, rear and the control unit.

anything other than 4300K HID's look like garbage. they look like rip off HID's. trust me it's called BAD TASTE.

The "HID's" that I have are 6k but they don't have that bluish color to them. Once they warm up they are white.
