hey i was looking into using the mini h1s from the retrofitsource.com, i was wondering, was it pretty much a plug and play ordeal with no cutting required to the housing?
Essentially plug and play... but this isn't a vehicle specific kit, so there may be a few snags and what not depending on your ingenuity, skill level, and vehicle...
But if you're doing JUST the low beams, there shouldn't be extensive housing modification (the modifications are reversible if done properly).
High beams, you will need to dremel the housing to widen the bulb opening as well as shave down the protruding part... NOT reversible.

i've got a gs300 so its basically the same housing, but i wasnt really sure if any modifications to the housing was needed if i went with the minis. but thanks for the info, i think the minis look a bit small, i might end up going with the LS460

They're the best bang for the buck... Reversible drop-in completed in a few hours versus a full on retro.
