    I went with 80mm. took @Brick_26 suggestion on the size and it fits perfectly.

    Yeah needed the headlights for work haha. we took our time though. The paint you suggested worked perfect. The worst part was taking out the old glue. Other than that it went great.

    I haven't seen anyone put a different shroud in the 3rd Gen housings. Is there a reason that everyone is staying with the stock shroud? I really like the 2nd Gens with the rear and front mounted halos on the panamera and apollo 3.0 shrouds.

    ^ shrouds will not fit. They are only used when retrofitting a projector and there is a gap around the lens.(see 2nd gens). Since the 3rd gens already have projectors.. the "shrouds" are molded together into the inside housing. I guess you could cut up the factory surround and modify a new apollo bezel.. just not worth the time/labor IMO.

    Completed mine on Friday, What did you cap the back of the housing with? I put so much butyl in there and hope it does not leak. I added some morimoto fogs as well.

    Sweet!
    I have to ask, why the morimoto 4.0's?
    I know they have a nice cutoff, and priced much cheaper. But they will not bolt in like an OEM toyota/lexus. Might require more retro fit then necessary.

    ^ Don't Jynx it!

    @1bad2k . If your set on using the 4.0's, I would fabricate an adapter plate that fits the morimoto 4 bolt pattern, and adapts to the Toyota bolt pattern.
    Good luck!
