I was going to say the same thing, thanks for help and information.

There doesn't look like much of a difference between the two. I guess might as well go OEM. What lights are they out of? Oh, TSX?

Both OEM sets came out of Lexus RX330 HID projectors, made by Koito-Japan.
My first choice would be the Depo clears and then the OEM, but the best would be the e30 clear lens. e30s are German made back in the 80's, this set is one of the most sought after clear lens out there for retrofitting.

Any chance you want to sell those E30 lenses separately?

Haven't had a chance to retrofit yet, I'll be starting (and hopefully finishing too) next month. The lenses will be going into the RX330s.

Sorry man, I received the email and thought it was spam, never seen a direct email come from ScionLife before.

I have the depo projectors w/o the e30s now, but I have the set of depo clear lens and 2 sets of OEM frosted lens. LMK

Ok. Cool cause the cutoff from the depo projectors suck ___.

So is there a major difference without the e30s?

DigitalPro

iTrader: (17)

Yes the stock depo projector cutoff is really bad!! Custom curved flat shields are less distracting! e30 are high quality glass that produce more blue/purple at the cutoff, depo's aren't as good and they have a small dimple in the very center of the lens, not sure why this was done.

Here's a couple gallery links:

Do you still have the E30 lens' that work with the turn signal or just the Depo and OEM? If only Depo/OEM which would you recommend, the Depo?

DigitalPro

iTrader: (17)

Sorry, just the Depo's and OEM's. All lens offered were the same size 2.5" and work well for the blinker mod.

No worries. I just thought there was one that you said was a bit better for some reason. Yeah it was the Depo's you said would be your first choice.

So for the blinker mod you need to trim/grind down the front of this lens (bottom of the photo) ~1/8 so the lens can be sandwiched?

DigitalPro

iTrader: (17)

Yes, trim the blinker reflector 1/8 and test fit, before you do that check how the front piece and blinker reflector mess together, then when you remove some material you will know when your done when everything fits perfectly together with the lens installed. If you remove to much material the lens will move, it this happens just place the lens in the front piece, level it, and apply a few small spots of GOOP to hold it in place. GOOP will adhere to glass, just clean everything really good.

Here's a few more tips:

1. Don't use a gas oven to bake headlights open, gas gives off moisture which can leave a residue inside. Use a electric oven or heatgun

2. Don't touch or clean the inside of the headlight clear lens, only rinse with water, it's easly scratched and has a protective coating this can be removed.

3. Use microfiber clothes to clean everything!! No harsh cleaners! Take care not to rub the chromes rings on the internal shroud, you will remove the chrome.

4. Take your time, keep a clean workspace and test everything before sealing them up!

Interesting, I used a gas oven for my pre-'08 headlights and I don't think I had an issue, none that I saw really. Guess heat gun it is for these then.

If the inside of the clear lens is rinsed should it just be air dried? Just a light soap/water mix for the inside of the painted/main headlight housing?

PM me your PayPal I'd like to grab those Depo lens' then. I just finished the squirrel finder "mod" so I think I'm ready to get these in, it's killing me to not have these in the car yet.

Plenty of compressed air is a must for keeping things clean before sealing them up!!

But for baking them to separate initially you recommend either electric oven or heat gun? I have the OEM headlights.

DigitalPro

You can open them using any heating method, but after modding and cleaning everything the last thing want is anything to go wrong. Heat gun is preferable for closing to avoid any adhesives or anything non factory inside from gassing and fogging.
