They do have the Auto-Level, but I had to use the module for it on my new housings. They should be in the classifieds this weekend. I want to clean them up before I take pics and post as they are DISGUSTING. I was considering buying them and sending them off to have the Q45/430 retro done, but I figured that spending nearly a grand on lighting is enough for right now. If I end up keeping the car beyond the end of this year, it's POSSIBLE I'll consider it.

I'll PM you when they are up... I don't really see myself asking too much for them...



I'm not sure what you did in your pictures, but if you just wet sanded them down, don't worry... The hazing will be back. I could say that I wet-sanded my housings 4-5 times last year with the oxidation returning worse the time before. I just got fed up with not being able to see at night and just ate the bullet and fixed them the right way...



wet sand/buff/ and apply a special headlight coating sold at local auto parts store, sure i could of taken the headlights out and instead of applying the coating by hand cleared them over with a spray gun(which essentaly is what these headlight are pretty much coated with)
I'm def not knocking on your project it turned out great

The question you should be asking is do I know that there is a ClubLexus discount code. And that answer would be no. LOL!

jackson listed it in this thread

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lig...-pictures.html

i have been using the code for the last 6 months as i spent ALMOST 600 with v-led in just the last 6 months but now im 99% done with a complete led conversion and i do mean complete.in all fairness though i did more lights than jackson and im tinkering with a few more right now! although im so grateful for his thread as i would have never thought of this otherwise

Nice job, Los! Looks great!

I have internal hazing in my headlights and havent yet decided what to do. I sure as hell don't feel like taking the damn bumper off, removing my housings, and prying them apart to get to the inside of the lense. May just go the same route as you.

BTW, you never hit me back last time I was down in Tampa... I called you from the Slug...hahaha.
