LS460 Headlight retro
Well i am doing a retro for a fellow member, It actually is different than most i do. I will post pics of the progress as i go along. But the basics are LS460 low beams and a modified high beam.
Bare with me for pics. I should have some very very soon.

I did mine as far out as possible so I could reuse the OEM bulb cover.
Bug eye look, lol.
Are you swapping to clear lenses? Might as well while it's open.

Lol you caught that too!^^^^ I didn't want to say anything when I saw that it didn't have the clear shroud mounting points.
The pic with the turbos is also ls430. The red sheet pics are ls460...

Interested to see what you're doing with the high beams. Clear lens swap on the 460's is worth it imo, love my LS460 retro.

I sure hope he will be. The rest of his car is immaculate, so there was no reason to spare any with the retro

U wanna see what the highbeam is going to be? Here is a short glimpse of what is going on with that.
Also, while this stuff has been going on, i decided to start the ls430's as well. And well here is a pic of that

Lol^^^
I used it.... It's lets you keep auto level. You will need some extended screw/bolts to space the projo.
