The measurements don't add up
I tried to attempt this for over a year.
The part itself is over 500 bucks EACH.
Also if you do the measurements of that projector and the housing of the SC...it's too big and too wide to fit into the housing. ALso u have to consider the back connector space as well.
The only way it CAN be done is to possibly cut into the bumper and create a rounded bottom area of the headlights. The example would be the tailights of the Acura RSX as a visual. To do THAT would require a totally custom set up, time, and MONEY..
I still haven't given up on it..
IF you happen to perform the miracle of making it happen...sign me up for your 2nd pair! =)

The projector will not fit in our headlights unless you do very heavy modification to it and possibbly even the hood or front bumper. Nevertheless, if you feel you can tackle this problem, send an email to Johnny at sales@illusion-lighting.com Good luck!

Yes they do. Their rates are cheaper than ***************** too, but get a quote from both places before you commit to either. Illusion Lighting specializes in OEM HID retrofit projects. I know the guy, he's done about a dozen Lexuses and a few dozen other cars including a Q45 retrofit in a Toyota Tunda.
