Are these the HID or just the Halogen ones?
There are a few mods you can do to these... Clear lenses and curved shields does the trick!

Ahhh well I have been studying those things for a few months now and I have found this...

OEM stuff is more fuzzy harder to tell where the cutoff is, and they try to make it so there is no color at the cutoff line...

NOW ME>.... I like color and sharpness so here is what I did....

LEXUS RX Projectors which are  just as good if not better then the KING S2000 projectors...

CHeaper and superiror light quality and distribution...

CLEAR LENSE  Sharpens the lines and adds more color at teh cutoff so your lights appear blue/purple when you are near that light bad...

Then CURVED SHIELD actually sharpens and also widens the beam itself so now you have extra wide and extra sharp beam...

If I had to describe or compare my headlights before I'd say I had about 90degree (45deg/ from cetner) lighting so it barely coverd my lane and half of the one next to me... my fog lights shined wider then the main low beam...

WIth the RX projectors I get more like 130-150deg beam width... and just driving down the road the other night I was on a intersection where the highway was 5 lanes wide with shoulders on each end and cement walls...

So me being right in the middle lane I can see my headlights shingin bright and even across all 5 lanes and clearlign displaying a wide bright thick beam on the cement walls... and thast all with just 35W HID kit...

Wait untill I get the 55W HID kit, as that will add another 30% output and will probably be the brightest HID set up out there...



Here are comparison shots of the Projectors and the Output of each...

Yep not a bad improvement, it was probably the best 150$ i have ever spent on the car... the difference is stunning.


I was just tired of waiting for a good cheap set on ebay so I just found a good quality newer set and bought it... 115$ for the Projectors  and 40$ for the lenses.
