You really want those purple projectors!

RX 350: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/com...rojectors.html

Specs:
Max height 95 mm (3.9")
Max width 100 mm (4")
Depth: 145 mm (5.8") on 3" lens (DOES NOT INCLUDE SHROUD)

LS 460: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/com...rojectors.html

Specs:
Max height 155 mm (6.1")
Max width 130 mm (5.2")
Max depth 152 mm (6") n 3" lens (DOES NOT INCLUDE SHROUD)

Current prices sit at 225 and 360 FOR 2 respectively. If you have the extra money it's not like the LS460 draw any more power then any other projector. It will just produce the best cutoff available at the time.

But, it's big as Fk and the height alone makes extreme modifications to the OEM housing. The solenoid for the Bi-xenon location is what makes it suck.... I'll have to do some more research if you are serious about installing these Jerseycake.

Anddddd...

They actually released one with a hand built TRS solenoid that only makes the projector 125mm (4.9") tall. So if you have FIVE HUNDRED dollars set aside Foram upgrade you get stock LS460 shrouds and can reuse your factory D2S kit.

Pretty much meaning install costs are per hour unless you do it yourself.

Else,

Do you guys love me? If you are serious about your retrofit, PM me and I'll consider letting you know my 15% discount coupon (turning 500 shipped into 425 shipped).

Honestly I doubt its doable, I had really hard time fitting the 350s in, the 460s are HUGE!

What he said, honestly you're gonna have a nightmare fitting the LS460s in. If I'm to do this again (which I might) I would do it with the same projectors or a 2.5" instead of 3.

Frankie, listen to this **** and send these out for retro. With the clearance strip & two MATCHING projectors you will be much happier. Also switchbacks look awesome!

+1

Love my 06 projectors but wish I would have finished my retro plan for my 04 headlights. If every set I found wasnt cracked or had lens issues I would have.

Nah, fool, getting ricer lights is ricer. 04 projector retros are probably the coolest lights you could put on the G.

Take your " demon eyes" and body colored housings and green glowy crap and go back to Fast N Furious, USA.
