Led headlight conversion (1 Viewer)

[DirtDawg]

I retrofitted easier to source TSX projectors as mentioned in other threads and am more than satisfied with the output.

Thanks for the reply.

My headlights are yellowish and want to upgrade to look like yours.

Silverbullitt, what do you mean by "backing the headlights"?

Might've been a typo error. If anything I was trying to say baking the headlights

I tried an H1 LED bulb in the low beam projectors on our LX470, unfortunately the bulbs wouldn't fit in to the hole on the headlight housing. Even if they did, the back of the LED bulb would have prevented the dust cover from going on. Below is a link to the bulbs I tried:

Amazon product ASIN B00TF3IXAW
I really like the LEDs in our LC, but I'm not sure any of the H1 LED bulbs will work in the LX housing?

I will probably go with some HIDs in the stock LX projector housing, if anyone else has had any luck replacing an H1 bulb on the LX projector, let me know.

Thanks

I installed H1 HID 6000K bulbs with a 55W ballast and the light is awesome and spread evenly to the road not causing glimmer to other people and did not get any bulb warning on the dash, I am in Florida so no worries with snow, I know halogen or yellowish color like 4300 is better in snow or fog, you can pick the color, I did not find an LED bulb that would bring more brightness than 55W HIDs. The kit I bought on on ebay for $30 is XENTEC 55w HID Kit 880 H3 H4 H7 H10 H11 H1 5202 9003 9005 9006 6000K 5000K Xenon. Hope it helps! Cheers!

Mine a landcruiser so I think a single bulb , so if a Lexus I think it’s 2 bulbs I got mine off eBay but I did do a lot of ground work

The land cruiser uses 1 low beam and 1 high beam light. The LX runs projectors lights. I am switching my front end to the LC so I need the LC lights
