Hey there!!

Yeah I can understand why not having PMs can be annoying at times but it was for hidplanets business. He was having alot of people sell "back door" thru PMs and it was greatly affecting his business side of things. The forums have always been a secondary priority so we have to respect his wishes. Hope you understand and stick around the planet!

Be sure to post up your LS430 retro on the planet when you get around to it

Got the painted bezel back in the other lens and placed it on top of the housing to give you an idea. I think it's great now seeing it with the lens back on. Can't wait until tomorrow when we put these back on the car!


Stock on the left and the custom one on the right...

These headlights make nice oily-like colors from the polycarbonate

Understandable. Great job on the headlights! I would have added a strip of leds down the reflector, oh wait, I did. I like the bottom of the reflectors only being painted. It looks nice.

Thanks. Maybe next time when I try my best to talk him into a retro, we'll do him some LEDs if he wants them . I think he is going for as much black w/o lights yet still clean looking scheme for now.

Unfortunately I didn't have time to go out and do a proper photoshoot to showcase them so we just ran down the road at this industrial park to take a few.

They look amazing in person!!!

Not too much and just right IMHO.


















For fun ....

Great job indeed! If you don't mind, if you are interested could you PM me pricing to do my '03 lights in CS. I would love some retro fitting projector work if it costs less than upgrading to an '06 housing... I like the simple look of the '03-'05.

Thanks in advanced and again... great work.
