I called TRS today to get my CCFLs and they confirmed that the phillips bulbs were the XB35s.

Lower your cutoff! Good lord
 
You're going to throw some serious glare at oncoming traffic.

Looks like the driver side projector is rotated a few degrees too high as well. The "steps" should go progressively downward on the driver side to reduce glare to oncoming vehicles.
 
I agree with the lowering the cutoff. Angled driveway or not, your cutoff is significantly higher than the stock lexus' cutoff on that same angle and you have a responsibility to other drivers to properly aim your lights.
 
Not only lower the overall cutoff, but you need to rotate the DS projector a few degrees clockwise (when looking at the projector from in front of the truck).
 
I will lower it tonight! Did anyone else do their retrofit?

I have. Although I'm waiting for my 3five ballasts to arrive since I was a little nervous about the DDM 55w ones. I also need to wire my bi-xenon solenoids. and aim them better. Other than that, I've done it!
 
Waiting on the CCFLs so hopefully I will get to it by the 8th...

Damn, looks like I need to open it up lol

I had the same problem. I fixed it, sealed it than saw a MASSIVE finger print on the projector. I was so pissed. I opened it up again lol
 
maybe I missed it but where is the general consensus to mount the ballasts?
 
can you not just turn it from the back?

I am going to give it a shot, I hope I can!

There is a vertical bolt where the headlight bolts down, you can use the bracket and bolt it with the headlight
