Default 78WORKS New Headlights

78WORKS known here for their new taillight designs

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-lights-5.html

Are releasing new headlights for our car to be released next year. My understanding these are NOT direct replacement for factory HID equipped cars.

No word on pricing yet but hopefully these will be at a price point that would be an affordable alternative to the 2012 LED factory lights

Is there any difference in looks between the 78works and the ebay one?

The only difference I see between the two is the side reflector. Ebay is orange and 78works is clear.

Orange is a US DOT thing. Japan doesnt have the same regulations. My 78work tails are technically "illegal" in the US because theyre Japan spec; meaning they have a clear side marker on the tail, not a red one.

Their tails arent that much, I dont think their headlights would be that much more.

you might be right but the price gap between tail lights and headlights isn't usually small, and 78 works is quality stuff

All of the headlights that I see on eBay say they are for cars originally equipped with halogen bulbs; the OP says that these are for cars with factory HID.

Exactly, my tails from, "78", were quite cheap as compared to their head lights. A good note about their headlights is HID as mentioned by Bichon. Halogens are awful, imo.

I am quite interested in these myself so I shot them a message over FB and instagram.

As for price point, its still undetermined, however their tails are about 450 USD. That being said I dont expect the headlights to exceed 800~1000.

Very excited for these headlights to come out as Ive been dying to do the conversion.

It would be great if an English speaking person that knows how to read Japanese would translate the Facebook post. Be interesting to know what lines that the automatic translation interpreted as:

"L-LED Lamp position in the latter part of passengers subdirectory"

or even better:

"Hotel reception desk and started to."

really mean.

Thanks. I discovered that Google Translate does a much better job than the one built in to Facebook:

Lexus position (L positive)
Late look type
Projector headlights
Inner black type

Towards the next year of early sales
We gave a mounting test.

Fitting is also good
Also confirmed Solution of AFS warning lamp lighting
It is especially fitting completed without any problems!

Late look to micelles in the L-shaped LED position lamps
The front face is bracing other in inner Black
even where the side marker lights
It is a big point.

Models to be sold in 78WORKS the
It is Japan optical axis specification of peace of mind.
(The overseas optical axis goods Please Note)

In addition, on the headlight mounting
Notes and procedures, wrote and AFS warning lamp countermeasure
We will offer the original manual
and peace of mind to you can contact mounting (^^

Color inner black and chrome type
Two types lineup scheduled

When decide detailed stock timing, etc.
We will consider it as start accepting reservations.
