I don't know anything about the assemblies themselves, but the lenses shoudl be a straight swap. They were for my '03.

How did you find the replacement lens? I've been looking but haven't found any yet.

I forgot to mention,.. if you run Hid in stock projectors, it works great, but definitely re-aim the light (and plug the 2 little holes). After that its perfectly fine. i ran ours with HID bulbs in stock projectors for 15years in our Lx470 with no issues, and without blinding anyone.

They work okay in original projectors. They work great with proper HID projectors. The improvement with the correct projectors is pretty big.

Which HID Projectors did you go with?

Junk parts, ebay, and the like. They're awful to track down used, but you can still buy the assemblies new.

TSX to start but will eventually upgrade those as well.

Good to hear... I have a setof LBW adapters and the Morimoto projectors on my shelf... waiting for the next time my LX has some down time.

From stock halogens, the HID in stock projectors have been "good enough" ... but feels very normal.
It was definitely the easy way out for now, but looking fwd to be Wow'd again.
