    Welp that makes sense, one more question... what’s the benefit of the Rx350 projectors over stock?

    “Black headlight mod”

    It’s just the name this forum has given to blacking out your headlights

    They are designed to run and properly project HID bulbs. So you can run super bright hid bulbs and get crisp, even light projection with a sharp cutoff (as seen in the one photo I posted), and not worry about blinding oncoming traffic.

    I also wondering about location as well. Can someone post pictures of his work?

    Also, for the exchange process, do you buff out marks in other peoples headlights so they would look new again?

    I did update my info, I’m in west Chester, pa 19380. All work posted on the first page is my work.

    I don’t typically do any refinishing of the lenses. These are usually low mileage lights, all in approximately the same condition.

    Just to give you an idea of the awesome work he does, below are some before and after pics of the set he did for me. Couldn't be happier with them. The change in the look is night and day.

    Are you doing the work on original equipment housings? Only ask because I've seen core exchanges where the person was using cheaper non Toyota housings. Basically you'd end up shipping them your OE headlights and get cheap replacements back that had be retrofitted or painted.

    Sure I can post some night pics at some point, but just so you know I just had him do the standard BHLM and not the retrofits, so my light output and quality isn’t any different than it was before.
