Lexus LS460 Bi-xenon w/ Converted MH1 5.0 solenoids to save space for the lows
Murano Bi-xenon projectors w/ step cutoffs and shaved bump stops for the bix shield to drop lower
Both with STi-R clear lenses
Lexus LS460 clear shrouds to cover the Murano Bi-xenons for a consistent & symmetrical look
Osram D2S CBI bulbs in both projectors
Morimoto 3Five.SS D2S ballasts running both sets of projectors
H11 HD relays w/ high beam splitters powering everything

Would love to see how that looks and what the total sticker is going to be on that setup.

How do these retrofits hold up under the bump and bounce of off-roading?

I am not impressed. I think the dual projectors look odd in our housing. Should just go with a single bi-xenon like the LS460. Keep it clean.

Just an opinion.

I kinda hafta agree with Mikey... Single bi-xenon proj. looks much cleaner.

x2. Curious to see how that will look. I agree with the others, a single projector (bixenon) will look cleaner, but that is subjective.

Abuse? I think it depends if how well installed they are. I've seen some use only bolts/screws, but some of them are epoxied on (like cement). Mine are epoxied (I don't want to deal with them ever, except to change the bulb).

Can't wait to see pics!

I've had my projectors on since Nov 2011 and wheel 2-3x a month on some bumpy, rocky trails (some sections we drive pretty fast through also) and they're as good as when I received them from Lightwerkz. My projectors were both screwed and epoxied on and are holding up great. I've even been in a collision where my Shrockworks bumper plowed into an Accord and the projectors were not compromised. I don't ever think twice about their ability to withstand offroad abuse.

His setup is too fancy for me.

I thought about doing this setup for a little while, the "gatling" from a q45, but then I saw the actual output and its horrible compared the FXR.

You would think that the Q45s "gatlin gun HIDs" would be the DADDY of them all. I've also seen that they aren't very good.
