Very nice work! I have LS430 retro for my truck. Love it!

I was looking to get some headlights but i am spending on my suspension 1st!

Very valid question - does your car come equipped with OEM HID? Mine does.. and i plan to get the Halogen versions and swap my OEM Ballast over to the aftermarket housing.

If it did come with OEM HID... how did you mount the OEM Ballast? Did it have OEM like location to bolt it?

Good work for eagle eyes!

Here is some crappy cell pics of my LS460 retro.

Might re-do them in a green tinted housing ....





Here is a quick vid when i was trying to get the autolevel working and aim them. My dog was jumping around in front.

For me, I left the OEM ballast on just to seal the bottom hole and tucked the connector inside the headlight and hooked up my morimotos and customized my dust cap.
