    just waiting to put them in .
    Ive been selling aftermarket projectors (which are always
    smaller then OE Lexus btw) headlights for a variety of cars
    for over 5 yr. The most common complaint is the lack of lite
    out put from them over stock.
    Even the 350z when it first came out had small projectors and
    after numorous complaints from owners, 2 yrs later Nissan increased
    their size by 20%.
    All my OE projectors still havent compared to anything aftermarket
    yet, and I havent found an aftermarket as large as OE yet either.
    Still nice job, when I get my Infinity units in Ill post up something.

    At $500 you have already more than doubled the cost of this all in one $200 kit, once you price in the other needed hardware for a custom job I bet you are looking at $600 for all you need in the end. In my opinion $200 for HID projectors is quite a deal for a definite increase in light output and a much more concentrated beam pattern over our factory light performance. I would say they even put out more light than my old xenon HID bulbs in the factory housing I had in the VX before this kit.

    Still comparing apples to oranges..
    to me its worth it for really unique and oe quality headlights.
    Esp for the Infinity headlight, theres not another car out there
    with anything close.
    But still, I dont give aftermarket projectors much credit compared
    to even OE quaility. Ive been down that road with customers and
    have had many complaints when we have sold them, thats all Im saying.
    They look good, but still the no 1 complaint was lite output.
    Maybe they work good for you, but I know what Ive experienced in the
    past. Ill go bigger factory projectors (which I can buy used probably
    for around $100 for the pair) or stick with the Infinity set up.
