new2mud Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 is there a hid conversion kit for 1990 ls400? Yes it will be a 9004 kit. However, you will either lose your high beams or it will be a compromised "filiment arc shifting" solution that does not provide the true proper pattern and will glare everything in sight.

wwest Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 is there a hid conversion kit for 1990 ls400? I just upgraded my 2001 Mustang Convertible to projection headlights and HID. The new headlight assemblies where $150 on Ebay including shipping and the H3 HID kit w/Hella Ballasts was $100 including shipping. Stunningly impressive even with the SHARP cutoff of the high side HID beam pattern provided by the projector lens and apperture. The are several types of HID hi/lo kits available, most, and the best, move the HID light source electromechanically from one position to the other for hi/lo operation.

qha_vn Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 i mean the entire hid conversion kit including projector at least for low beam, i saw some simply change the hid bulb producing terrible glare thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The are several types of HID hi/lo kits available, most, and the best, move the HID light source electromechanically from one position to the other for hi/lo operation. You definitely did it the correct way--utilizing new projector beams that have the proper pattern to "contain" HID output. Unfortunately, there is no projector retrofit available for 1gen LS400, and we are stuck with the awful glass lens that actually produces the "pattern". These make for an awful glare problem when simply replacing the 9004 bulb with an HID kit. The Hi/Low kits that move the filiment are less than ideal for 1gen LS400 applications, as again, the pattern on the glass headlight housing of the LS400 does not provide a proper pattern for the now-moved Hi-beam light source.

Since the fog lights are virtually useless anyway I have often thought about using their housing as a start. Buy a "take-off/out" (presumably from a totalled out wreck) bi-xenon projector set and retrofit them into the LS400 fog light assembly.
