Default retrofit pics continued

a couple months ago i posted pics of my xenon retrofit, but none of what it looks like on the road. i took some pics of it in the driveway, but it doesn't make it look that good. tomorrow ill take a video while im driving.

i have a 99 rx300 retrofitted with an 05 LS projector, LS ballasts, and phillip 4100k bulbs. here's the results

on, up close
off, head on
off, side view

outside the car, lights off
outside the car, lights on
inside the car, lights off
inside the car, lights on
inside the car, lights on, right side

flicker


video of startup (headlights off and then on)

the video doesn't do a good job showing how great they are...there's a car i didn't want to move on the left side, so you can't see how wide it is. there's also a car in front that i didn't want to move. u can see the cutoff on the house, but its far away. tomorrow i will post a video of me driving so u can see them in action

tell me what u think

i saw the pictures of them on...any pics of what the road looks like? against the house?

ill also post a picture of them up against the house so u can see the clean cutoff

anyone thinking of a retrofit? i can give u pointers, not on installing them tho because i had a company do that (who i can direct u to; they did the actual retrofitting...cutting of the assembly and installing the projectors in place of the mirrors, made custom shrouds, etc...also do angel eyes, LED, blinkers, etc.)

here are my new videos

here is one of me turning out of the driveway and driving a couple seconds

here is a video of me driving down the road, panning from left to right. (doesn't show how good they really are...doesn't see far enough; doesn't show the clean cutoff i see all the time)

here is a video of me driving down the road (this looks absolutely pathetic to what they actual look like ...it doesn't pick up the light on the sides...it only shows straight ahead...the lights are so wide but u can't see it from the video)

here is a short clip of me turning (show cutoff, distance, etc.)

here is a clip that shows the cutoff, color, etc. (it's me driving next to a car (left side of me) and what my lights look like on his car

here is a clip of showing the color and cutoff (car in front of me)

sweet...they look good to me

with ur fog lights, being that they're in projectors, do they scatter the light or does it give it a clean cutoff?
