I unscrewed the projector part out last night and gave them a clean, they were pretty clean anyway. I'm assuming it is a case of changing the lens?

Yes and no, yes it is just a matter of finding the lights, be it from a breakers or wherever. No its not just a matter of bolting them in. There are other things that need changing depending on what you want the lights to do. You can use bulb spacing to get more colour, different lenses and then you have different bulbs and ballasts.

You don't have to go for Lexus projectors by the way. There are many great projectors out there.

Have a look at this site http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/forum.php

Do you have any before and after pics we could look at it?

Thanks for the link to HID planet BTW. I'll do some digesting and see how easy this is going to be........

Before and after photos of what? The lights themselves don't look any different as I kept the shrouds that were on the lights but I am thinking of getting Gatling Gun shrouds. Or do you want output photos?

Well.....

Dammm, these HID's are good!!!

Much brighter/whiter than my last cheapo set!!!

Fire up nicely, no error codes so far, they have nice crisp cut off points, was driving last night down a dark country lane and they were reflecting out of puddles like mad.

I had the missus drive my car and I drove hers infront of mine and wasnt blinded by them :-) I also drove towards her and wasnt blinded :-)

I would definately recommend these along with cleaning the reflectors, the difference is like night and day..

I wonder how scoobys look compared to yours (Bigmunkynutz) , there is a significant difference in price, even with a 20% discount.

I can take a few day and night pics, could also have old vs new pics depending on weather. The problem you will have with mine vs scooby is camera quality, lighting conditions etc..
