Maybe off-topic, but where did you get your projectors? And if you don't mind me asking, how much were they?

I actually got mine from another member on this board. I got them from him for $280. You can find them on ebay as well, or you can also try hidplanet.com.

Standard GS bezel 98-05??? I have a feeling your talking about the projector shroud. That is a LS 430 projector shroud. You can usually find those on ebay as well.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask via p[m. And dung0981 thanks for finding my old thread I was just going to post it myself when I saw this lol

URDONE, have u managed to install these lamps yet? How about alignment...how's this stage coming along? What issues did you run into with this? And did you have any issues resealing the lamps? Any leaks, condensation or is everything tight? Please post pics

Hey whats up man! Glad to see you back around here. As you can see, I decided to give it a shot myself. I have done pretty well so far. All I really have to do is aim and align these and install them. I hope to be done this weekend. I will post pictures, when its all done.

Can't wait to see the outcome! Keep us posted. I also have tons of updates to do over the next few days including one headlamp set I can't post unless the person I'm helping out gives consent to have his pics released or if he goes ahead and posts them on his coupe. I think he's waiting on a few mods to be complete before he shows them off so I have to respect that

Well, tested out the projector, bulbs, ballasts, and the harness. Everything seems to work well. I just didn't get a chance to really aim them. The bumper is coming off this weekend, so I hope to have this all done.

Here are a few pictures for you guys. Sorry for the crappy quality, they were taken with my cell phone.

Stock halogen headlights





Projectors

Very nice, I'm redoing my LS430 right now. I miss that awesome output.

What did you use for shrouds BTW?
