Does the LS430's 04-06 retro to the SC? I've read about the SC430 retroing into 1SC and of course the X5, but I'm really liking the 04-06 430's output. I've driven in an 02 430 and I like that output as well, but it seems this is... brighter in a nutshell?
I plan on doing this in a 98+ 1SC by the way... hopefully with those glass headlights rather than plasticy

Also, after taking my car outside city limits I am truly amazed at these projectors. I can honestly appreciate them much more after seeing their full capabilities. I guess before when I've posted about how I didn't think they were that bright was because they were being drowned out by the super yellow high wattage street lights everywhere. They're definitely bright enough.
Anyways, on to the pictures!
Just a normal driveway shot:
The following shots were underexposed to show the perfect alignment between low beam and high beam.

Low Beam and High Beam perfectly aligned:
Now for the awesome shots. :P

Check out my thread, that's how it really looks like. But the pictures doesn't do justice. In reality, it's superior.

Oh, so the Phillips Ultinon's are less bright and white? From what I read the Ultinon was supposed to be the brightest 6000k bulb. I guess they never put them up against these bulbs huh? Do you have the standard lenses or are they the clear lenses?
I have a 99 LS and I want to do a quad projector setup, but the 430's are kind of expensive! I'm debating on going with two pair of FXR's on the lower priced end for a quad bi-xenon setup, or LS430's for low's and 2010 460 bi-xenon's on the upper end. All would have clear lenses. I like the 2010 460's because it has the chrome shroud and doesn't have that bug eye'd look of the 07-09, and would have a smoother more factory appearance. Not to mention it would be cool to have all Lexus parts v.s. the FXR's.
On the other hand the price of the FXR's are unbeatable, $135 a pair. The 430's and 460's are going for around $350 a pair, so I think i am going with the FXR's for $270 for two pairs, unless I score some crazy deals on the other setup.
Edit. Holly smoke those PIAA's are a grip!!!!!!! I was just doing some looking around and the average price is around $370!! If you got them cheaper do share. LOL!
