Retrofit ls430 DIY (projectgs.com/DIY is down?)
So, i finally find a set of ls430 headlights (for 380), after looking for the past 3 months. Step two; go to the best diy website ive ever seen for retrofitting these lights (http://www.projectgs.com/DIY/) ....waiting....waiting...Doesnt work.. what!!!?!?!

It doesn't work because Jeff didn't renew the domain or something. 
He thought nobody liked his website.
It's simple. Do a search and a bunch of thread should come up. Most retrofits are the same, so you shouldn't have a problem following any DIY.

I guess I'll renew it sometime in the next few days when I get a chance lol. It costs me about $70-75 a year out of my pocket to host a website. I got a few donations totaling around $35 in the 2-3 years that I had that site running lol. Thanks to the 3 people that contributed

I thought I did say what adhesive. I believe I used High Strength Plastic Epoxy in that first DIY I made. Make sure its the white creamy colored stuff, and not clear colored(clear color one is not strong enough). I think it's made by Devcon.
I've also used JB weld very sucessfully on a few sets of headlights. If you use JB weld, make sure you buy the normal kind, DO NOT buy the quick set JB weld. That stuff is just straight up garbage. The normal set stuff takes about 6-8 hours before it can be handled, but that stuff sticks like none other.

Ahhh, thanks. I used those quick steel... sets very fast. I'll look into the plastic epoxy as someone else mentioned using it.

If you're retrofitting Q45's into the 2GS, look no further than this to mount it into your lowbeams.

Here's a video of autoleveling fully functioning after we did a LS430 retro.
