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)

focal point will be a dead-end. As you can see, a bulb not seated correctly will most likely cause an ugly cutoff.
Q45 projector is large and it takes one hid bulb but it has many mini lenses. If the focal point isn't right, then you will have a huge hotspot with no width.
It's been done before. Many companies try to do it but they can't get anything to pass DOT standards because they are poorly built and the hotspots from an off-focal point will cause glare.


Notice how each lense has it's own cutoff line which is different from the other. No two have the same cutoff.
