There have been a few HID retrofits on the Gen6.

I believe the LS460 projectors are too big for our headlamp. If you want top notch quality, the s2k ones would be great, but for a first timer, they'd be pretty hard.

I know someone has done an RX330 on these forums as well, they looked much easier then the TSX retrofits, mainly due to a Toyota projector moving to another Toyota headlamp. The TSX ones give a sharper more colorful cutoff line, but require some cutting of the projector itself.

As for tips, you'd have to search from HIDPlanet and forums for some help. Otherwise things would just be some general pointers:

1) Remember where the screws are when you take off your bumper.
2) Try to see if you can get a hold of an extra set of headlamps so you can still drive your car.
3) It will take a long period of time to work on the retrofit.
4) You need good dremeling abilities.
5) Do not buy an HID kit, buy some quality Philips bulbs.
6) Remove lens cover from headlamp slowly but surely.
7) Take your time, don't rush perfection.
