G50 : Q45 Headlight / Headlamp Conversion 1990 - 1993

[lino]

Am I the only one who likes the idea of F50 projectors in a 1990-1993 G50 Q45?



I found a web page while surfing that shows them in detail. Check out the quality (lots of pics):

I found other Lexus cars with this mod too (probably plenty more):

I don't like the BMW conversion (sorry):



The 1994-1996 Q45 owners do have available JDM options:





I do like the JDM ones too. Definitely more than the USDM ones and (I realize they are aimed in the wrong direction for the US):


I find the stock USDM ones to be too plain and dull. It would be nice to freshen up the front end. What do you guys think?

freshen uo is great as long as you do not degrade performance AT ALL. JDM may look good, but junk for our roads due to inverted beam pattern. The absolute best upgrade for 90-93 stock headlamps is use of the HIR 9011 & 9012 bulbs- 85% more lumens on low beam, and about 40% more on high than stock !!!!!! $100 gets all 4 bulbs needed at http://store.candlepower.com/hirlighting.html


***** I have been running these bulbs for well over 25,000 miles so far, and they are excellent bright, long life bulbs,the best I have ever tried- and I have tried many....silverstars, silverstar ultras, various Piaas,you name it- these win by a longshot......even put some in my 79 year old moms highlander to help her see better at night- if you dont want to drop the $100, at least get the 9012 bulbs for your low beam lights, they produce the biggest difference in 90% of ones typical driving.

Do you have the Toshiba bulbs?

[qship96]

yes

I would love to put some of those on but it doesn't seem cost effective unless you have a junked F50. Those lights are purrty expensive to buy new. Even used at times. Im still waiting to see if were going to get this F50, i guess the insurance company is still inspecting it all. It has to be totaled

If you get the F50 are you going to consider taking the lights and doing a conversion?
