Diy Projectors

[allot]

I've got retrofit 5000k HIDs in my IS. They look really really good and are very bright......however, they do not appear to be the same as those found on brand new lexus's.

My neighbours got an rx350 and have noticed that the light coming out of his car is somewhat different - i mean absolutely superb!. Its clear, is evenly distributed across the ground and has distinctively clear cut off lines.

A bit of further reading here (http://www.intellexual.net/hid.html) has lead me to conclude its to do with the fact that mine are fitted in standard headlights as apposed to projectors. Ive already seen these threads and none really hit the nail on the head....

Do you reckon its possible to create your own retro fit projectors, anyone know of any or maybe have tried it before? It can be either from a number of random parts or adapted from another car..... Maybe a bit of a blue peter jobby... :)

Any thoughts?

I am actually looking for something like that aswell. I will keep you posted if I find anything.

It would be great if it could be made from bits and pieces.

What you think of taking the glass lense from the IS fog light and fitting a reflector cone of the same size with the bulb contained in the middle?

Surely theres not that much trickery in its construction, is there?
