* S2ooo Retro * outcome w/ pics
Well, I have been a big fan of the retro's that I have seen on CL. So , I decided I would get 1 too, I really love the Q45's that have been retro'ed on here... I was going to go to the Q45 projectors, but I was also looking for the clean, and sharp cut-off. After asking about 150 ?'s (LOL) I finally made up my mind and decided to go with the S2ooo projectors with the help of Mike (Tiguy99). I bought the S2ooo projectors, a pair of Lexus slim ballasts, (im not sure what model car they came off maybe the IS), a new pair of phillips 4300k bulbs and a new set of headlamps, shipped them out to Mike and had him work on them. I gotta say , he did an awesome job, clean and fast.... I had him paint the housings Silver to match my car and the shrouds flat black since I was gonna get some black rims, I thought that would give it a kick...If you want a retro and dont want to take the risk of doing it, I would highly recommend Mike ( tiguy99) to do them for you, very helpful guy and a great job...
Well, enough talk here are some daytime pics that i have snapped I will post some nighttime shots and beam pattern later tonight. Enjoy! Cut-off pics on page 2
I dont know why, but my hood doesnt sit correctly on this side, can any help in some sort of adjustment, or do you think the body shop can take care of it when I take it in to get painted nect week?

Looks good, I'm having a hard debate with my self over if I should get LS projectors or stick with the rx-330. The LS go for about 450 a pair, but I dont know maybe I will be the first to retro LS projectors into a gs.

Hey Noop. Is it required to have a front license plate on your vehicle. If not, check out the below site. Unfortunately I cannot remember who originally posted this site (so I cannot take credit), but you might want to check it out.

I am anxiously waiting for night pics too.
