Two issues ...
1. I am awaiting your 'I told you so' ... the beam is crap, weak, and all over the place even with hids in the halos. No dangerously so, but close. This will accelerate the oem retrofit project.
2. I don't know if the installers messed something up or if they changed a setting cause my inside courtesy lights aren't coming on. I was sure the setting for that was in the dic but I can't seem to locate it. All I can find is an exit light timer setting which I assume is for setting how long one wants to have their headlights on after they exit the vehicle.
Basically wwhen I turn off the engine the inside lights are supposed to come on automatically, same when I unlock the car with the fob before I start the truck.
Help!?!

Well the courtesy lights are activated and disactivated by a button where the headlight assembly is at. right on top of the fog light button.

Yeah and the "I told u so" is coming. Lol I dont know why the make those projectors so cheap they should at least try and make them better.
correct...
Serge, above the dimmer knob for your interior dash, there should be a button. There is a button on top, and a button on bottom of the dimmer rotary knob. Top one is for the interior lights and the bottom one should turn the foglamps on and off.

Wait ... the headlight assembly above the bumper or do you mean the knob next to the steering wheel?
The one next to the steering wheel. Sorry my english is not great. Im not fluent in english.
Well it's official ... I am a freakin' moron.
Been staring at my dash for months never even noticed the 'dome light' button!
Thanks guys.

where are these pics, by the way? yawn...
Okay now onto serious ...
Project oem retrofit must kick into high gear ...
Question 1: If I do both the low and high beam previously mentioned hid retrofit in the oem housings, will it give me the best possible light that can be achieved?
Question 2: What's the difference between the TSX and Lexus/TSX Morimoto Retrofits? As indicated here for example: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=64 They seem to be the two preferred retros.
