    Got a chance to swing by HybridPit to place future ordered. There were a few cars before I got there. The famous KREPER was there in person. Always influence to go above and beyond

    Hi everyone,
    I just installed PIAA plasma ion yellow bulb for my DRL. no big difference my stock bulb, just little bit yellow on drl. weaker on high beam O.O
    it's 55w-110w. i think two times brighter of my stock bulb. and it's not. even on drl. my drl kit 1-30% brigthness adjustable. its's 30% max.

    Masta Sean Just received my Bixenon Rx350 (non afs) projectors w/ clear lens, custom etching, and tuned to get started on my retrofit.

    I know not everyone may agree on the lexus logo on the lens but I think it was a cool detail to know the car is using upgraded projectors. Would never replace the toyota logo's w/ lexus tho

    Finally sold my Cusco strut bar to @JamesKFChiu today. Got my front windshield ceramic tinted with Llumar Air80 - thanks James for the referral! Then squeezed in an oil change/tire rotation/alignment for a long drive to the Bay Area tomorrow.

    @TK Rocket: for this projector you don't have to open the headlights in the oven, right?
    just screw the originals out& the new ones in?
    what kind of hid bulb do they use (h1......) ?

    Still need to open the head light. Uses the same mounting holes as oem projector but need to trim the housing a bit to fit the bixenon solenoid. It uses d2s bulbs

    It's actually really quite easy. Just warm up the headlights in the oven a little bit and work the headlights apart. You don't even need to use new butyl as there's enough for them to go back together. I made the mistake of using too much butyl when putting them back together and I couldn't get the tabs to line up correctly. I would recommend going with the RX350 projector as well. I have the Mini H1 and it's not really the best quality. Had to disable the brights on the projector because the solenoid kept sticking.
