Does any one know if there is a company that makes after-market headlights for a 96 LS400? I have searched the web with no results. I'm looking for a factory replacement style. I would like something a little classy (possibly projector style).
Thanks

I have never seen aftermarket headlights for a 95-97 LS400 other than headlights that matched the OEM headlights. Are you looking for better lighting?

The 95-97 LS400 has wonderful headlights compared to the POS headlights I put up with for 13 1/2 years on my gen 1 (1990) LS400.

If you are simply looking for better lighting you might try Philips Vision Plus 50 bulbs. Or ... I just put a set of Sylvania Xtravision H4 bulbs in my wife's Camry and I can tell that they are significantly brighter. Neither of these bulbs are tinted -- they provide real light improvment and not just a "look". Both the Philips bulbs and the Sylvania bulbs have a shorter life than OEM spec bulbs. The Sylvania bulbs will likely be the easiest to find and are carried by major discount stores.

No bolt ons but one guy did get some projectors headlights from a jetta and they fit nicely.

Yeah the jetta retrofit looked pretty good.

I didn't feel like spending a ton of money on HIDs and everything so in my 97 I went with Silverstar ULTRAs for H/L and NOKYA Hyper Yellow fogs.

They're ridiculously bright!! biggrin.gif As close to HIDs as I could get biggrin.gif

I am very happy with the light quality. I would just like to modify the OEM look. Thanks for the help!

That DOES look good!!! Thats more along the lines of what I was going for. Sounds like a good bit of work but looks well worth it. I'm just not happy with the OEM "basic" look. Thank you so much for your help and the pics.

I have Silverstar's and HIDS in another, Silverstar's are not ever close to HID output. Being said that, you need to be smart on applications.
