Default Lexus should make better...

projectors!!! I was going home after dinner and a TSX pulled up next to me. The cutoff from the projectors was so SHARP compared to my IS250. I should of got halogen projectors and retrofit something better instead getting the $800 HID option.

Check out the LS430 projectors. The light output is wide as hell.

I have to agree Acura made some sharp projector. You could always tell when a TL or TSX pulling up. That **** is sharp.

So sharp that the newer (06+) TSX are using fresnel lens to blur the cutoff

Stanley does make awesome projectors though. I LOVE the TL bi-xenons as much as I like my LS430s.

As are the 06+ S2K's, fresnel lenses FTL!
