The results yielded a flair on the driver side projector. May have needed more tuning. But just as I suspected; the cutoff doesn't get really blue compared to rear entry projectors. But better than stock nonetheless.

This is what rear entry projectors look like with a clear lens. The cutoff is much more blue. From my 370Z.

I agree, factory projectors in the ISF are weak

Oh well I only drive in the dark every morning

They're Doss FF1's. Flow formed like RPF1's so they're pretty light for 19's.

Yeah but the cutoff of your projector is 100x better than lexus Projector. If the IS projectors where to be that sharp with Clear lens you'll see that same blue effect across that entire span. i wish i can retro Acura TL or TSX projector into my LED headlights. i'm going to have to look into that. another this to point out is that my headlight are misaligned an i need to readjust them back to center position. they current aim very low to the ground.

not true for all Lexus projectors. Look at the light output of stock sc430, ls430, rx330 projectors- much better than the 2IS projectors because they are rear entry. A clear lens would exemplify the output of the said projectors. I think even if you aim the lights higher you'll still have the flare on the driver side unless you retune the spacers and perhaps rotate the lens.
