Guys, I'm pretty sure the grill from the various years is fine with any light. The same goes for the fender. The point of interference is the little painted valence below the headlights. In 98-02, it goes all the way across including under the grill. In 03-05, they are not under the grill, but have the same shape as 98-02 under the lights. For 06/07, the pieces changed shape slightly under the lights.

In the thread Kyoso23 did on updating his rig with the newer headlights, grill, and valence, he stated he had to trim the fender. So, that is where that idea is coming from.

Pretty sure I'm going quad. 3 projectors looks a little extreme. I'm still wanting 3 a little just because I can...funny thing is 3 actually fit better than 2. I'll keep you guys posted on my progress. Should take a few days to get them mounted and a few days to get everything painted and buttoned up. It will require 80% of the housing to be cut away and redesigned.

Unfixing the unfixable
You'll be all set for Paris - Dakkar with that triple rig 
I feel bad cutting a Koito headlight apart

No those fit the 06-07 years. We want the one for 98-05 that look like those.

These are RHD but if doing a retro, then it won't matter. Getting them to the US is also another small hurdle. But they are made by Depo, one-piece and designed for the 98-05 100's.

That's why I said "small hurdle."
I would try an email to the seller. If a lot of folks are interested. They may make an exception.

I did. Tis is a spare headlight that has a lot of stuff wrong with it. I painted it because the inside was flaking. Now since I know it will fit I will retro my good headlights and not paint it. I do like the gray. When I install it on my truck that will tell me if I want to keep the gray. I'm also contemplating on the Mini in the bottom. I looks much better with 1 large projector. I'll post a photo of the single projector in a minute. They are on my phone not iPad.
Looks better with one rather than the two stacked on top of each other.
What if you pushed the top low beam outboard about 1-1.5" and then put the mini a little closer inboard, so they "angled" inward like the shape of the light housing itself?

Pushing the low beam outboard would not work. The reflector mount is in the way. I really don't think I'll be keeping the Mini. It sits so low in there I'm almost positive the ARB bar work will block it.
2000UZJ,
Any ideas on a plug-n-play HID high-beam solution for LX470 (realizing one would probably have to disable to DRLs...)?
