i can tell u this..oem lights were horrible..eagle eyes with halogens were better...but still had to run fogs on dark roads..the fogs flooded to bottom portion as well as the sides of the road..leds are much better.

I'm more curious about the beam pattern, if they are more like a regular headlight or more scattered and blinding to oncoming cars like HIDs?

The headlights still work but the plastic housing is broken on both of them where they are screwed to the frame. So they are in place but loose. You can also see the hood is pushed up.

So new headlights for sure and I'll find out what it will take to repair the hood. I pushed the grill parts back in place so it doesn't look too bad.

It was recorded with a $30 dash cam that doesn't do too well at night time in the country. It wasn't really as dark as it looks.

I'll check into upgrading the lights to eagle eyes. Thanks for the info!

If its not birds crapping, its cats and claws, or deer. That's too bad it happened. I wonder if the hood can be straightened?

Based on the pic you may need a new core support (assuming LS400's have them and the front clip is detachable), hood, possible hood hinges, grille and lights. Radiator mounts could be broken too. Good luck!

They do have the core support. They are welded on and from the pic I don't think it's that bad but I could be wrong.The bumper probably took the brunt of it. How does it look?
