Has anybody done any retro "conversions"

Someone do the LS430 retro (04+ projectors). I've never seen it done on an early LS430 before

There ya go!!!

Looks great!

If only the Q45 projectors had the kind of output the LS430 has. It would be a killer combo in terms of looks and performance

So on the q45, the multi-lens projector is the main light? Does anyone know how many lumes they are?

same light output as any other HID system since its the same ol D2S bulb but the difference is that you dont get as nice a cut-off with the "gattling gun" projectors as you would with say a modded S2k setup.
