I absolutely LOVE my Lightwerkz/OEM bi-LED conversion with NHK M5. To me they look factory. Incredibly sharp cut-off line, makes night driving fun and safe again.
Not an inexpensive upgrade, but personally safety is a top priority for me.

Well they showed up a day early! They really do great work because they look damn near OEM and can barely see any signs they've been re-sealed. They look decently aimed, but maybe a little low? Do you know how they can be aimed? Thanks

Those do look great!. I would highly recommend putting on some PPF with good UV protection. My LC came with those headlights (not with projector modification) and they were terribly yellowed to the point I wondered if someone had tinted them. I had to sand and polish both the inside and outside of the lenses to get them clear again. Thankfully they were not hard to disassemble with some heat.

Thank you! BTW these are OEM housings that were retrofitted by Lightwerkz. Probably still should PPF them though for long term right?
 
I installed AUXITO H4 bulbs into OEM housing and no regrets! $44 a pair and the holder/collar must be adjusted to get the LED cree bulbs to line up to 3 and 9 O clock orientation. I have installed these bulbs into the fog lights and the road is crystal clear with headlight and fog light turned on!

I am a fan of the factory enclosures with the 9011/9012 mod (iirc) and the normal light color, not that blue hue garbage. It has served well and doesn't annoy oncoming traffic.

This is probably the easiest option for LC100 that provides good results. I would've done this except LX470 uses a H1 bulb instead.
 
These are sourced from Japan and glass. The builder I used is off the radar now, sad because he did awesome work for me on a couple of projects. Find a headlight builder and make the investment if you are going to drive it a lot. Mine is a daily driver & I live in the mountains, lots of dark back roads. Love these.

For bulbs in the OEM setup, he recommends NINEO lighting. They are apparently made in the same facility as the insanely expensive M… branded ones. Have these in my daughter’s Camry Hybrid and they have been great so far.

Thanks to NINEO's engineers for spending so much time to design these bulbs, to make up for the needs of many customers who trust NINEO products want higher power and brightness

Thinking about upgrading the lamps on my 07’ with LED Diode Dynamic lamps. Or Sea Light. I had great success with them in other trucks in the past.

I never had to modify housings or anything. At most replacement the relay/revisit or to allow lights to work with LED’s.

Diode Dynamic lamps cost a premium but have lifetime warranty. The Sea Lights I had used never had issue and were a little more price friendly. Currently Sea Light has a bundle package for the 100 series that is $112 and it includes low beam/high beam and Fog lights. They have a 6500k color rating for a nice pure white color. NOT THAT BLUE hue that some of these lamps come with now.

Anyway I haven’t decided yet just b/c there are other things that I should be buying before I buy lights LOL. Gotta prioritize my “Need to have vs. Nice to have” list….. Grrrrrrr

Let me know if anyone has gone down this route
