Whoa, that's what I was leaning towards. The LED bezel looks waaay out of place there, maybe flat black would be better? Is he willing to post what mods were needed to fit the LEDs?
I'm also cramming a bunch of those LED minipods into the turn signals....but unsure about what to do with the side markers. (In Japan the amber reflectors are not necessary so likely fitting some sort of LED there)
Any tips/pointers on install for those that have done it already? What size bolts and length did you use for everything?
Also, my headlights don't fit in my oven (can't fully close door)... Can I try baking them with door open or should I just go to a heat gun?

Would love to see pics of some blacked out ones mounted up on the car if anyone's got em

Does anyone know if you could mount a RX350 non afs projcetor with these brackets?
You might be able to make it work but you'll definitely be doing some trimming to the bracket to open up the hole and then adding support to mount the projector.
This will give you an idea of the difference in size. RX350 projectors are bigger but not necessarily better.

G5R, G5BRT, G5EX, G5EXL projectors are all brighter. Basically a bolt-on affair with a little grinding to fit the larger projectors. Some food for thought.

@teejnut , @ambiguous etc...finally getting around to doing these, any tips, tricks, insights that you can provide?
Questions I have for my first retro as well.
- Best way to open the headlights is heatgun?
- Do I need to get additional bolts/nuts to mount?
- How are you doing final aiming? Are you installing the headlights naked (no clear cover) and no bumper and then finding a parking lot and a wall to dial in?
- what else am I missing?
