SUBMARINE

HI SEB

YEP its exactly what I originally thought ....it keeps the car elegant and tasteful and looks really cool ...well done 10 out of 10....I can't wait

to order mine next week.....ps the front deflector cooler panel is a very good idea (easier to clean with one wipe) and modernises the engine

bay with todays cars.

Nevertheless well done a good tune up mate....when you finnish the wiring try take a pic in dark without the dipped headlights and use that as

your main id photo .

Then when i get mine done I will do the same ....maybe one day I'll bring mine up to the UK for a non alcoholic beer bash.. mdr(french version of LOL.

Keep in touch

Hello Seb

Visited your gallery very nice pics;As for the wiring I just wanted a photo of what it looked like prior to fitting but never mind

the photo of the vendor showing the small transformer block will suffice,

One small technical doubt is the double sticky tape fixation on wire meshing ;as I use a high pressure jet washer at home and sometimes the rollers I will need to see if a flat base bracket with two screws and some extra waterproof submarine araldite

will deter the would be poacher :

Nevertheless it looks elegant and tasteful can't wait to see a twilight picture ! Nice work I will be ordering mine at the end of the month but I need to find a grill with a flat surface like yours ! LOL

After the logo I will start a new post concerning plasti dip on my alloys. I have done some bits inside the car and no adverse

affects so far but I am waiting to see what direct sunlight at the end of summer will produce. As the colour anthracite is not

yet sold in France and I have only managed to use the colour black on my headlamp washer jet conversion which is now nearly finished just need to take the bumper off to adjust the port side actuator ;

Hello Seb

I have finnished th installation but I need to adjust the port side actuator and replace a bulb in the wash wipe switch nearly

finnished .But a quick word or friendly advise the total installation(Xenon lights and head lamp conversion was a long winded affair)

if you decide to undertake this conversion be prepared to do a few mods and d'ont try to do this job in one week end .

I f you need any help jof any kind just drop me a mail and i will do my best to help you.

Happy new year to All

So all the parts are fitted and a few more items need fine tuning ; but a few technical pointers;

don't forget to disconnect the existing pump electrically and seal the water outlet and purchase 50 cms of plastic tubing

and connect to new actuator pump which doubles up as screen washer pump ;

I will post mores pictures next week

pat

yep it looks cool but we are all waiting for seb to bolt his illuminated logo and post a few pictures meanwhile I have checked out e bay for seb's radiator grill and as soon as I finish cutting the last hole for my head lamp washer actuators and done a full service on the car I will start on the grill !

HAPPY XMAS TO ALL AND MAY YOUR LEXUS GIVE YOU MANY WONDERFUL MILES

MR STAFF Or should I call you Ian !

I first thought you looked like a slightly constipated clown now I know you have been side saddling my torpedo tubes I have the perfect remedy Ian a comfortable ride in a Tesla MODEL S they only catch fire when you crash them !lol :hocus-pokus:

regards pmb

OK seb four new pictures posted hope they give you a better idea of what they look like in daylight check out my gallery

enjoy !

Slow down Seb your going to blow your head gasket on your Iphone ...18 pictures in one day...that's what I call mega pixels lol

Now back to petrol head matters....The wire grill mesh looks great ; will try to pick one up next year.

I have posted one new pic with the head lamps switched off ; If you wait I will post a few more tomorrow when its daylight,

If you already have xenon's then don't bother as the installation isn't cheap about 500 EUROS .

HELLO ZEBBER

Its alot simpler than you think.

First of all each head lamp has a smallish electric motor with a triangle plug all I did was to modify the spyder headlamps (is300) to a (is200) and swap the motors over to the new headlamps.

The actual ride height actuator is left untouched and all you need to do is turn the small dashboard ride height adjuster switch to

suit the best driving position and/or calibrate the headlamps against a white wall .(this is important as I noticed the Xenons are

much brighter and I would 'nt like to be dazzled by them) Since fitting them night driving is less alot less strain on the eyeballs !

I also had a look at your website worldtuningfans and the black logo is very nice. Tonight if i Have the time I will vernier caliper

my badge and check out the size.As my front grill is slightly chipped I need to plastic spray the grill so I might as well do the mod

conversion all in one go...c'ant wait to see what yours looks like in the dark !

If you need help on your headlamps just ask ....it took me quite some time to get it spot on but I d'ont regret doing the job its completely changed its appearance.

I know the CT200 has got a blue coloured logo any ideas ?

regards pmb :luck:

Hello Ian

Just to let you know got the parts today '13.15 PM

MANY THANKS FOR THE PROMP SERVICE

Regards pmb

_{Hello Ian}

_{Thats a bit of good news ! No need for the vernier caliper this week end ! Will post pictures soon.}

_{Regards pmb}

Hello Ian

Just to keep the post alive I received the morning from Merlin International the pipe work +headlamp nozzle and the famous

bumper covers and all fixtures and fitting. Just now need the cabin switch and of course your pump and relay !

I will be taking a photo of all the parts and a few more while doing the installation and all for a budget of 100 quid:

Just a small tech question for you I need to cut two square slots for the head lamp nozzle washers and I was wondering

if you had a good ideas/tips how best to proceed with this type of process. I read some where that inside the bumper the markings

or slots were etched on the surface ?

regards Pat

^{Sorry Ian}

^{its the bumper coloured square hats I am looking for nevertheless this particular ebayer will get my order for}

^{the actuators next week just got a reply on the freight costs;}

^{regards pmb}

Ok Ian I have noted the link but I won't be able to open it until tonight as ebay/facebook are blocked by our firewal servers and d'ont sell the relay or the pump I still want them please.

Thanks pmb

Hello Nigel

Look at my galley photos . The instalation is complicated but night time driving is alot better and be careful to respect local legislation here is a direct link to the spyder website.

http://spyderauto.com/product.php?id=PRO-YD-LIS01-HID-DRL-BK&t=Lexus-IS300-01-05-(-HID-Type-)-DRL-LED-Projector-Headlights-Black

The quality is ok but you will need to buy a full Xenon kit with very slim or small ballasts and two extra indicator bulb holders with bulbs and

two headlamp support clips pn 5327144010 in case you break the old clips as they can be tricky to open up; and of course a Xenon

headlamp washer nozzle cleaning system(whih i am in the midst of putting a kit together).Fitting time on your own would be a complete

day (8hrs) should amply cover it.

What more can i say ...best of luck Nigel

Following Ian's Help I am looking for a pair either new or second hand for a pair of nozzles has any one got some? The colour is not important as i can respray them .(checked eb...y nothing in Europe.

Exactly and thats why I have one I prefer Japanese reliability to the local run of the mill boring saloons ! And when I was in the Uk I had VAG;

pmb

OK THANKS as soon as I find the last item I will place my order will keep you posted tomorrow
