that seems like an OK idea, but not great
extra projectors cause clutter and mess and often arent worth it
since u have a projector sitting around, can u drop a 1 watt led on its cutoff shield facing the rear?
take a picture of its output in diff posisitions on the shield (left, middle right)
that will give me an idea the output it has
i have found LEDs Magazine - Lenses for LED headlamp
this was COMPLETELY done with lenses from the look of it
it seems like thats one route to go, multiple lenses for multiple lens, which to me sounds like an ok idea, but i prefer collecting all the light and throwing it at one lens,, the problem being that the lens MUST have some sort of cutoff, this is why i like the idea of standard TSX projectors vs the lexus idea
ive seen that idea, and i know its pretty poor, its not smartly put together

ACTUALLY now looking at the diagram :-D
try sticking it ona pole and see what the output is facing up, that seems more what we need :-D i like that idea, problem is solving the heat
the leds i plan on using are twice the output of the ones used by lexus :-D actualy over twice (900 lumens, SSC, Seoul Semi-Conductors p7 C bin)
