That's interesting. I will have to look into that.

Received mine today. All the way from China to New Zealand in just 4-days, very impressive. Used vlandinnovate on eBay, who I also bought my tail lights off a year ago. Install only took about 1.5 hours and the fitment is about an 8 out of 10. I noticed that the LED driver/pack on the bottom of my headlights is a different design to the one posted earlier in this thread. Instead of being a dull silver it's almost chrome (had a blue protective film on it) and has a completely different screw layout to hold it on.

If fitment for you was about 8 out of 10 are you running into any gaps anywhere? I gave my fitment a 8.5 of 10 but certainly can get 9 out of 10 or so with some re-adjustment to the 3 screws holding each headlight in place and moving the light a little bit.

Yeah there's a slight gap where it meets the top of the LH fender. Tried adjusting it when installing the headlight but couldn't get it to slide in any further. Might give it another go though. Should be able to get to the side bolt without removing the whole bumper again.

Thanks. The Japanese IS250/350 had the power folding mirrors from factory. I use them half a dozen times a day, lol.

How much did it cost you?

Anybody want to start posting output shots? Or can confidently say the output is better than the OEM AFS HID system.
So far I've mixed reviews and most people didn't aim their lights properly.

Thanks! I don't have any output photos yet as I want to get the beam adjusted at a job using a proper beam setter. It's definitely brighter than my factory HID AFS headlights though. The light spread isn't as 'smooth' due to the dual projectors on the low beam, but the brightness is better and it has a definitive cut-off. I hooked my DRL's up to a 5-pin relay the other day so that they switch off when the low beams are turned on, as it's a legal requirement here (and other parts of the world). Makes the look of the headlights at night not as chaotic and no longer blinds oncoming drivers with the DRL's being on.

What did you do so that your AFS light didnt go off on the dash?

You simply pull the 7.5A H-LP LVL fuse in the one of the interior fuseboxes and it gets rid of the light straight away. On LHD models the fusebox it's in is on the RH side, and on RHD models the fusebox it's in is on the LH side.
