Yikes. I guess none of you are too familiar with HID's. I would recommend visiting www.hidplanet.com Despite being a long time lurker I feel that I should comment. For starters, the Lexus IS300 uses a D2R based bulb in their reflector headlight. This is also used in the Prius and all non projector type housings. The bulb actually has a black film around it to correctly direct the light without blinding other motorists. Do a google search to see the bulb. The actual reflector is shaped differently than a hallogen reflector would be also to correctly direct light into the road. D2S bases have a clear bulb but are used in projectors which have cutoffs. http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/attachments/vz-holden-commodore-2004-2006/42424d1195174066-hid-xenon-conversion-pix103ej.jpg A forum member from HID planet retro'd a set of projectors from another vehicle. The quote below is referenced in the learning section on HID planet's forum. Most members there use their forums to learn more about how to correctly retro fit projectors from other vehicles into their own. I would not recommend any of you to use HID kits, including the bi-xenon ones with those reflective shields in front of the H4 bulb. The posts from Battman clearly show how much glare other drivers will see when you are driving. The correct way would be to do what rb26 did and retrofit a set of bixenon projectors into a 7" headlight. This way you would have the function of highs and lows and have a proper cutoff. Hopefully that will get the ball rolling for proper retrofit projects and not the typical easy way out blinding hid kits. I will probably do this once I have more time to research the different housing options and find one with a clear lens without any fluting. I still need to finish my LS430 retro on another vehicle as well.

I am looking for 1 set of 240z Tail light housings. The lens on the lights can be damaged or cracked. I am looking for the housing to swap my lens' over. I prefer the housings to not have any cracks in them. I will also be interested in buying a cheap pair of complete tail light. Please send me a PM if you have a set. I would prefer to deal locally in Southern CA.

You are correct. The IS300, GS300, LS430 (01-04) and some others have headlights designed to accomodate D2R bulbs. These bulbs have sections cover off so the light is focused. These have special reflector bowls that are designed specifically for the D2R bulbs. The halogen versions of these headlights have a wider reflector bowl.

Yes I was wondering how far they do extend to the rear. I like the design of this one Although I do not know if this was a custom fabrication or if this was a kit. The owner was not at his car @ msa. thanks for the pictures and information

I was wondering, has anyone put an autopower roll cage into their car. I'm thinking about the bolt-in roll cage for my 240z but I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of cage inside the car. The main question I had was how far back do the two rear pieces extend to and where do they bolt into. MSA was no help when I asked them and I dont know of anyone who has the this kit.

The ones that msa will be getting have a -6 offset. I heard that the 0 offset can rub.

I called up panasport since they are local to me They told me the shipment of 16's they are getting are going to msa. They are "on the water" and should be here in the US in 4 weeks. I am also in a bind since I just bought the azc brake kit and 15's are not going to work.
