VJZ Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 GSlide how did not you not have to remove the entire bumper to get the high beams in? My black high and low beams are coming next Tuesday
Lethal_Threat Posted August 28, 2008 Author Posted August 28, 2008 GSlide how did not you not have to remove the entire bumper to get the high beams in?My black high and low beams are coming next Tuesday Many people have said you dont have to, but by no means did i see any other way. MAYBE if you bent the bumper cover back VERY hard, but then your risking damaging the paint.
UCF3 Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 I believe I just removed the Upper mounting screws. It gave me enough slack to be able to bend the cover and add the housings.

I wish i would have taken pictures, but in my case the only way that headlight could get out of there is to come straight up (because of how its supported below) and i tried bending the bumper cover back, it wasnt half of the distance needed to slide the housing out. Just go for it and see how it works out in your situation.
jthf07 Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 just bought some today.. can't wait to put them on Save yourself the trouble and just pull the bumper cover off right off the bat, those highbeams are some tricky suckers. <_< any suggestion /instruction how to remove the bumper??? thanks
VJZ Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Hey are there other screws behind the low beams to get the top mounting bolt series out? I just took the two out that are above the high beams. If so, I'll just take the headlights out later...lol

(15 min)
VJZ Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Can you get it to go back on the same way and look the same?
Lethal_Threat Posted September 1, 2008 Author Posted September 1, 2008 Can you get it to go back on the same way and look the same? Def buddy, there really is only one way for it to go one, you have to make all the holes align. It has a very modern mounting system for being a 16 year old vehicle. It'll go straight on and off, i did mine by myself and it didnt take long at all, it would def. help to have a second set of hands though.
VJZ Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Sure. I have one of my buddies coming over tonight to help with it. Its going to be nice to have these in.
VJZ Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Got them in. Wasn't hard but my bumper support thing is kinda messed up, my fender on the passenger side is dented and off wack, and the bumper cover is cracked and not too hot. Looks decent from a distance but man those headlights made a huge difference. I swapped all of the 194 lights with LED's. ultraviolet (purple) ring and city light, and ice white triple LED bar at the top.
denslexusgx470 Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Those lights are looking good! Reminds me of the Demon Eyes which is on most BMWs now. ;) They even used to offer demon eyes for certain Lexus models, but as far as I can remember they only offered it for the IS300. <_<

Mine just about flopped off once i got all the clips undone, just putting it back on was difficult, the alignment and all.
VJZ Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 No the bumper was damaged in the first place. Car must have been in a small accident.
VJZ Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 So my low beams have condensation in them now.....
Lethal_Threat Posted September 8, 2008 Author Posted September 8, 2008 So my low beams have condensation in them now..... check how well the gasket around the highbeam made a seal, they dont leak through the lens, but the breather tube on the back can let some in if the condensation can get past the headlight. If its not sealing well, use some insulation tape and close that gap up.
SC512 Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 I want to put new lights on my 96 sc300. I hear so many things. What is the best scenario? I was thinking of putting the halo headlight assemblies and a hid conversion kit. Any suggestions?

UCF3 Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 for the HIDs I'd suggest getting them from these guys. The HIDs last longer than the really cheap one off Ebay.
Doninator007 Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Does anyone have updated information on how these Halo Projector Headlights purchased have held up after a few years of use? 1. Have they leaked or cracked? 2. Do the front lenses remain clear of have they become foggy? 3. Are all the lights still functioning? Ect, Ect, Ect.... Any information would be great! Thanks!!!!
LexLutherSC4 Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Well here they are guys, the much demanded pics! I couldnt get a pic of the halos at night they are just so VIBRANT, but let me tell you they look AMAZING!!! Wanna talk about an absolute head turner. Even in broad daylight they are visible! Enjoy ya'll. Well worth the money if you ask me! WOW!! I was thinking about getting those...i saw them on ebay for like $240 shipped...how much did you pay??
VJZ Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 They are worth every penny I paid for mine. I have cool blue LEDS in my triple spots and a blue and purple LED in the halo, along with another cool blue one in the city light spot.
tc32 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 dam that look really sick... tempted to get some.. lol
