When you figure it out, please tell us. I am really interested in this since I plan on putting in the clear lenses and painting my housing.

You can shim the housing. It bolts together so just chuck some washer between them. I just didn't feel like goin that far. Took me hours on the first one analyzing everything. Literally the second light took me 15 minutes start to finish with the oven cook lol.
200 for 10 minutes and you can pull it apart pretty easily. Just use door panel bone tools to spread em and then rip em apart by hand. I spent a good amount of time just looking over the lights for personal info. There's more room for improvement but I'm fine with the current result.

I got these bulbs awhile back and clear lens swapped about 2 week after. With the lens swap, the white was more crisp and so was the cutoff which also added a little bit more color to it. To me, it did make driving a night a little better but it isn't a full retro so just don't expect it to be super wide or crazy cutoffs. I will take a few pics later tonight.

Agree with the above. It's the best you are gonna achieve with this projector.
When life hands you potatoes, you make a potato salad. In this case Lexus handed us a pile of **** projector. So make a **** salad and grab some CBI's and clear lenses.

very nice. Good to see simple tuning can make such an improvement. perhaps you can ask your retro shop on what they did to achieve the colored cutoff? maybe its a secret?? lol
