Do a projector retrofit and then, I think you'd be the only one out there with a mod like this, have the L logo etched onto the lens like the Maybach:

There are a few GS/SC owners on here that have done retrofits using the projector assemblies from other vehicles (usually Audi), you might wanna check with them.

finding projectors aren't too difficult... ebay would be the best place to find projectors that you could use to retrofit into your GS...

getting the projector into the GS is the hardest part... it requires a lot of time and precision and skill... you'll have to make sure that everything works and that you angle the projector correctly so taht it illuminates the road but does not blind oncoming drivers... its a hard project but with some time you should be able to do it or get a good shop to do it for you?

Has anyone here done the Q45 retrofit themselves or were they all done by a shop?
