The LX comes with projectors, the LC does not. However, you can (as some members have) buy projectors and put them in an LC.

So can a LC owner purchase the LX Headlights and install them?

No, the front end is totally different, unfortunatley you can't just "swap" headlights like you would think. Only way to get a quality projector in there is to buy a secnd pair of projector headlights and gut them both, swap the HID stuff into your standard headlights and put them back together. Google "HID retro" and read all about it.

Just got this:

When did you place my order? I placed my order a week ago and have not received the msg. I ordered the 35W 4500k and hope I made it under the wire.

Last I checked DDM was processing 400+ orders per day:eek:
 
For the LC owners, I have seen some of these online.... not sure I love the look, though. Why does Mr. T have such an aversion to HID's? My friends old Acura TL had them back in like 2000:confused:
 
I'm not surprised they're processing 400+ orders a day at 30 bucks for a kit! That's why you upgrade a little bit. Spend a few extra bones and get it much quicker. At the price they're selling kits at, you can afford to spend like 10 extra bucks for a 55w kit and you'll be able to get it on time too!

Well... When I say on time, what I mean is 5 days late because UPS delayed my shipment.
 
update:

Got two 55w 5000k kits with the harness's

got mine installed. they humm/buzz quite loudly. one bulb didnt work. still working on getting in touch with ddm about a replacement.

otherwise i love the increased light on the low beams. just almost makes my hi's worthless. thinking about upgrading them to 55k 5000k also now that guys on here say its ok.
 
Not that I needed them, but my 3 harness's arrived last sat. built better than I could build them.

You're correct. Those are for 80 series. This rig belongs to another MUDder

Pictures like that make me wish my cruiser was black..........and an 80
 
After owning a black Land Cruiser I will never own another...but they do look nice after all the scratches are buffed out and clean

Ya black cars seem to attract scratches, but if i had a black 80 it would most likely end up being linexed

BTW that pictures makes me super jealous:bang:

I wouldnt mind trying to make a set of these myself but I thought you couldnt do HID projectors for HI-beams? I know you can use TSX projectors from an accura for low beams but anyone have an idea on the high beams? I would like to know how to make the shroud around the projectors like this one too!
