just wondering if anyone on here has tried using a HID lense on there lamps with like a cheapo pilot etcc plug and play kit and have seen any difference in quality of there beams i was jus surfing flea bay and was thinking of changing the lenses on my 99 sc300 with these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/3-Cle...Q5fAccessories
does any one know whats the size of our projectors lenses are??? im tempted to throw away 70 bucks instead of 500 to a semi reto fit if it might improve my cheapo hid s like 20% anyways call me cheap but just wondering if this will work and if its been done before

Umm...you can buy good HID projectors for about 100-200, search around a bit. You can use a regular PnP ballast, with the typical red/blue male/female connector, and buy adapters for d2s bulbs, take a day and get the projectors in, and you are good to go. SC is REALLY easy to fit something like TL/TSX projectors.
Just changing out the lenses won't do much, maybe a sharper cutoff, the projector housing isn't made for HID bulbs, so the focal point will be off and you won't get the right beam spread/you'll get hotspots, etc.

^ What he said, but you can forget about trying to fit TL's in your 1SC headlight! ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Better fit is e46, or Valeo for our size constraints! Check out my thread, I'm selling stuff off for cheap!
