Serge when u say the LS460 projectors are u talking about the ones the Lexus LS460 has? dont they turn when the steering wheel turns? would u still have that function available when doing a retro?

The LS460s (Lexus) projectors are bi-xenon non AFS ... I believe there's an AFS version of the RX330 projector and a couple of others. But yeah, even if they were that feature would be deactivated as there's no way to integrate it into a vehicle not wired for it. There are some aftermarket self contained auto leveling kits, but they are expensive, and unreliable due to the complicated technology at work.

Biggest lesson learned from my Tahoe retro ... keep it as oem and simple as possible.

@ScSS: I'll light a fire under his ass next time I speak to him.

Sup!

So I ordered a set of oem denali housings ... thanks for helping me decide/ In the end it came down to having the desire to have the most understated, most oem looking setup ... I think the denali housings achieve that better than the m0ar blingy all chrome base assys.

@mattah: Soon. :)

I went with the same path but not the projectors you have. Cant wait to get them in. I want to do the switchbacks from VLED, tapping resistors doesn't seem too hard.
