    Nice, I want a leather steering wheel as well. Now I have to wait a few months before any other purchases for the car.

    Thabks, The matt black color is awesome. From a distance it looks like black/tinted lens covers, but it's not. I'll try to get a picture at night, with the led in there, the entire lens "glows" blue.

    So are they much brighter than HID or just nicer beams or both?

    Yeah, much brighter then the plug and play hid upgrade option. I had a pair of hids in there before from xenondepot, and these are way better. Better beam pattern and wider. And a heck of a lot brighter across the beam. I'll post some wall shots tonight if I can find a dark area with no lights around.

    A few questions for you Mo G:

    1) Does your DRL work with the new set up?
    2) Does your high beam work?
    3) Would retrofit HID projectors pass state inspection? (dealers or most gas stations don't pass them here if it is aftermarket HID).
    4) Do you still have your parking lights with that set up?

    Thanks and i am drooling over here at your set up lol :)

    1) No DRL's. Lights are either fully on or off.

    2) High beams do work, the RX350 projectors are bi-xenon, so they take care of the high beam. The high beams are now located in the outer side of the headlamps, where the stock low beam projectors sit.

    3) Yes, they will pass inspection, headlights turn on, no glare, have high beam functionality. Not really sure of the exact requirements for state inspection in Texas, but I do have my standard head lamps in case of any issues regarding my head lights. I had this retro done on another set of headlamps I purchased from toyota so I could still use my car while this work was being done.

    4) Parking lights are still there. Only thing I had them do was paint over the orange reflector the same matt black color as the rest of the headlamp. The parking lights I did upgrade them LED's a while back and couldn't have been happier with the outcome. It goes well with the lights. I'll take a picture tomorrow night of the parking lights on, and one in the day time to show how the led looks in the assembly.

    Lightwerkz.net they did the work. They can give you a quote with different projectors and painting as well.
