    You will need to measure the highbeam bowl in order to determine this.

    If you are gonna open the lights you should just do an RX350 HID projector swap. You can wire to have quad high beams.

    I’m already doing the rx350 projector but seen a few do the mini h1 for high beams so o figured this may work too.

    I've seen you work magic with headlights. Just figured you could give this poor soul some advice.

    Gotcha. Never messed with this profile highbeam array. But if the diameter is <~3" , I don't see why not. Hardest part will be the finishing work and making a bezel look clean.

    Thats close enough I think it would work. Good thing is they don't look too deep so you can set it back far in the high beam bucket. Has anyone had first hand experience on the output of these?

    Here’s a nighttime shot sorta! I’ll try and get more at night. It also has DRL on!

    For some reason one of the high beams work but the other one won’t so I’m not sure why.. anyone know by any chance?
