USA How to retrofit Lexus LS460 projectors into 03-08 Toyota Matrix headlights

Hi guys, I finally fulfilled Matrix owners request, and made a how to retrofit Lexus LS460 projectors into Toyota Matrix headlights video. I squeezed everything in 10 minutes, so I hope that the video is clear. Youtube only allow 10 minutes max videos.

Very clean video. I did retrofit projectors also into my Matrix headlights but didn't require any cutting but again my projectors are aftermarket not the OEM like Lexus etc....

Here are mine:

Great video! Definitely sticky-worthy.

The light output on those LS projectors is insane! They must have cost a pretty penny.

Skicking this thread will be awesome, but I can not do that.

Looks freaking awesome. Great video by the way. I do have to say though that not everyone can do that, and for those that can't there is the option of getting someone else doing it for you.

A quick search on ebay tells me these projectors run from 250 to 300 for a set. Add in ballasts, bulbs, and labor and your over 6-7hundred easy, maybe even more.

So this is a good option for matrix owners. (the work has a lifetime warranty, where as if you did it yourself and something breaks you're left with a pretty nice paper weight.)
