Now its nice out I can get the fogs out and send them to you so we can get that retrofit done as he talked a few months back.

Thanks!

The custom bezel, the part where you have to cut out so the projector can go in more. You should clone these parts and sell'm to those that wants to do it themself.

I'm sure many DIY'er would like to get a hold of the braket and bezel.

It may appear that way, but are pretty darn close to center.

Here's another retro we did, Q45 into 2GS...looks center as well!

If you're talking about the rotation of the projector, they are straight. They appear angled a little to one side but that's how they are on the LS430 too. This was the best picture I could find. If you look straight on at the LS430 headlight, you'll notice that it's the same.

I'm pretty sure that any year will work b/c before 2003 they all had reflectors and from 04 til when they stopped making LS430's they all had the same projectors. So, if it is an LS430 headlight and has projectors, then it's the right kind.

They all the same in any year, and LS430 projectors are side specific
