LX470 HID RETROFIT PROJECTOR BRACKET

[Luke111]

Working through a MicroD2S install right now - the Morimoto XB35 igniter hangs out the back by about an inch. In order to retain a water proof/resistant housing, I designed and 3D printed some custom tail caps out of ABS. These twist-lock and use the factory o-ring, and are designed to work perfectly with the grommet that comes on the XB35 wiring. Super happy with how they came out!

It's great to see creative additions,

That cap works well, I've used that same cap. You should have use JB Weld on the bolt heads prior to installing, which will allow you to tighten the nuts from the front when making your adjustments and leveling the cut off. After adjusting, remove the headlights and seal them up . Small observation.

Ahh yes. I’ve had to buy new butyl and redo it the right way but totally worth it. The nuts are now glued and adjusted correctly.
Added a layer of laminx and a whole custom harness utilizing this free fuse placement on the battery connection I believe all US 100 series don’t utilize this open area. Fully integrated system and fully sustainable retrofit.
No flicker and has been quite reliable. I have also did the high beam mod to have access to
More light.

The finish product definitely modernizes this 25yo rig. Thank you Luke for supplying demand. It’s been a year in the making from being out of stock for the brackets and finding headlights with the Lexus green tint. The tint and D2s combined with Morimotos micro and their AR coating make the eyes look like crystals on or off. I personally believe no led can replicate the effect of D2S in this combo. I also have glass lenses and bulbs are ~3000k

Can anyone speak to the longevity of the Morimoto kit? I once had an HID kit for a Forester that went bad after maybe a year or so of use. May have been electrical gremlins in the car, to be fair. Really into this conversion, just want to make sure it'll be good for the long haul.

I’ve had no problems with micro d2s kit. Make sure you use quality wiring harness though. I’m happy with the high quality harness made by @jerryb.

Just wanted to chime in and say the bracket made it absolutely easy to retrofit. Easy to aim and they are dead even afterwards.

I did not use any sealant when I resealed them headlights, I just heated up whatever was used in the stock housing and pressed them lens and housing together and haven’t had any moisture issue in 3 years. I also hooked the HID connector directly to the oem harness. No issues there either, I had flickering issues when I used a relay so I ditched that and connected directly to the stock connector.

How easy was this to do? I’ve got everything sitting in a box to do the retrofit but I didn’t want to have to cut the cut and rewire the connector cable which is what the tutorial seemed to imply. Any pics of how you went about avoiding that? I want to maintain the OEM harness connector setup in case I sale my LX down the road.

You can keep your OEM harness intact. You simply cut the 9006 OEM input connector on the HD harness and replace it with your factory connector on the back of one of your headlights. You can always call me for more clarification 703-371-8494
