True story: John liked the box so much that he keeps it on his nightstand and every morning he wakes up next to it and smiles. 😆 Great video as always!

Hahaha it makes for a good loose change holder. Thanks again for your support.

O6 Lx owner in MA here, I def have wanted to upgrade these lousy halogens but didnt want to tackle the surgery of a hid install with new projectors. This seems like the way to go. I’m going to order these, with the larger dust caps. Thanks for posting!, subbed.

How are they holding up? I just found your channel and have been binge watching your videos and subscribed for more... assuming you still have the LX470 and are still doing videos on it. 😊

@LXPlore 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching the videos. I’m holding up just fine, we’ll see come Sept 28. As for the LX470, I still have her and I plan on more 100 series content in the future. Thanks again and wish me luck.

@@LXPlore I looked at these photos of the dust covers and it didn't seem to have an opening for the wires. Are the pictures just not showing the thru holes that in the oem are sealed?

@LXPlore 3 года назад

@@mark-dd2oq I purchased the LasFit covers. They didn’t have holes in them, so you have to drill a hole in them and seal them with silicon. I have another video where I modify the dust cap.

@alexmroz9316 4 года назад

You didn't show the beam cutoff!? Thats an important part of modding headlights to ensure you aren't blinding incoming traffic.

@LXPlore 4 года назад

Alex Mroz hmmm a very good point. I’ll address it on the next video when I install the dust caps. Thanks again for watching and bringing that to my attention.

@thebigempty_5792 4 года назад

Question: I'm looking into these and I'm wondering about the high beams. The high beams run at 50% as daytime running lights so can the LED's be used in those locations. I'm seriously considering these, from my current HID set up on my lows and fogs. I also wonder how the brightness would compare to the HID.

@LXPlore 4 года назад

The Big Empty _ So I’ve only heard of people disconnecting the day time running lights, so they can utilize a high beam LED. Not sure if it would even work as a day time running light. LasFit should have a bulb that’ll fit.

@authenthuse5165 3 года назад

Thanks for sharing! Did you upgrade your high beams too?

@LXPlore 3 года назад

Thanks for watching. Unfortunately I did not… they don’t have an LED for the high beam/ DRL. I did replace it with a PIAA amber halogen bulb.

@samtoscano6891 2 года назад

Question. I did the upgrade with low profile LED lamps and was able to use the OEM dust caps. Is there any risk in having the wires exposed to heat put out by the LED lamps? They have built in fans. I'm thinking I may rewire the OEM connections to connect outside of the dust cap to minimized any risk. I'd appreciate any thoughts or experience that others have had with respect to this potential issue.

@LXPlore 2 года назад

Thanks for watching the video. No I think you’ll be fine. I replaced the caps with oversized dust caps from Lasfit to accommodate the larger fan. I haven’t had any problems with the wires or the lights.

@lifesanadventure9456 4 года назад

Would these work on an 05? I, like many others, hate those old halogen lights and they are so dark. I've been looking for a newer, brighter bulb.

@LXPlore 4 года назад

I believe so... click the link in the description. The folks at Las Fit are super knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks again for watching the video.

@rdaniel007 3 года назад

Ok I have an 2003 LX470 I plan to do the same LED lighting and dust cap. Also I have a 2000 F250 I plan to do LED. I see in the background a super duty. Have you done LEDs on that?

@LXPlore 3 года назад

Hey Richard, thanks for watching the video. I have a 2002 Superduty with halogens.... I really need to try and replace them with LEDs. Hmmmm I need to get some and do a review. Lol

@afei_lx4709 3 года назад

Have you tried to replace the high beam bulb? Especially the driver side. I tried but found no way to get it done without removing the whole headlight assembly.

@LXPlore 3 года назад

I’ve replaced them with halogen bulbs. I thought I just removed the battery in order to change the battery.

@LXPlore 3 года назад

I mean high beam. Lol

@gerardbu5333 3 года назад

how is the cut-off and the probability of blinding incoming traffic?

@LXPlore 3 года назад

I haven’t blinded anyone, at least no one has said anything or flashed their high beams at me.

@dcdc2509 3 года назад

Agree. When I searched it brings back two results when I specify 'low beam' and the description in both says 'Bulb Size: H1 Light Mode: Single Beam Usage: Fog Light'. So looks like wrong bulb for low beam.

@akhir_s1484 4 года назад

HID is better for projector headlights like this lexus and for the fitment. LED is better for standard reflecter housing headlights.

@LXPlore 4 года назад

Thank you for watching the video and commenting. I’ve heard that too. We can all probably agree that LED or HID are better than the stock halogen.

@akhir_s1484 4 года назад

LXPlore You should do a video on putiing halo rings inside the headlight housing that would be really helpful

@LXPlore 4 года назад

Hmmm I’ll have to look into it. My next video is going to be about the LasFit lowbeam switchback bulbs. They should be pretty cool.

@akhir_s1484 4 года назад

LXPlore Yeah that would be cool and I would like to see someone do halos on these headlights rather than buying some cheap chinese headlights that tend to yellow quickly over time. So it would awesome to possibly put a halo ring inside of the low beam lens.

@thebigempty_5792 3 года назад

@@LXPlore I know this is old, but my main concern with having HIDs, is the way I had to wire things, if I have an outage, I can't just do a temp. bulb replacement from a local auto parts store. My wiring is proprietary to the HID set up. So, if I'm on a road trip and a bulb goes out, I'm screwed until I can make a proper replacement.
