okay guys, my car is almost a year old... 1 yr in december which also means my membership here is about 1 year; 1 year ago i already started trying to find out how to make my headlights do this...

anyone?

 

Are you trying to get within factory specs?

 

I'm working on that right now, right now I swapped out the lens for s2000 clear lens and it only gave color to the side of the cut off. I just ordered E30 clear lenses and when it gets here I'll try to swap it over and see if it will work.

 

I kinda don't get this thread....

What is it that you are trying to achieve??

 

More color at the cutoff which will flicker a hella lot more when your car is bouncing up and down on the road.

 

Have you ckecked out customlightz.com they seem to know alot about that stuff.

 

yes exactly.

and thanks for trying the different retrofits until you find out what works for us bro!

 

that's a nice color but not very sharp. has anyone tried the washer trick yet?

 

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the washer trick???

 

that's when u put a washer between the lens and the reflector bowl. By doing that you might get a bluer cutoff.

Oh btw, this is the TRUE way of getting that blue/purple look from the headlight, not the easy way of changing out the bulbs.

 

why cant lexus just give us that true xenon look like bmw and other foreign cars!

 

they probably did it to address the complaints (from older drivers) that the blue and purple flickering hurt people's eyes at night? this is only my guess...

 

my mcclloch cut off is like that ,but not as thick

 

I tried spacing the lenses but the output came out all weird. I'll open up the headlights again when I get the other clear lenses and I'll try to mess around with it some more. I might just retrofit the s2k projectors into the headlights instead later, I just gotta get my hands on a pair. Plus with the design of our headlights its going to be hard since the bulbs go in from the side of our projectors. I know that I can make the s2k projectors fit in the headlight its just the matter of do I have room to fit the bulb, plug and my hands in at the same time.

 

I think that is because our projector didn't ahve a blue cutoff line to begin with. I have done that on the TSX and it was a good improvement. I think changing out the lens is better bet. For the IS' that came with stock HID, swapping out the whole projector gonna be a big job since it has all that ASF/bixenon crap.
