No one was having to machine and fabricate a projector from scratch, they only had to modify a bracket.
So my question would be this. Instead of machining and fabricating an entirely 'from scratch' actuator, why not simply retro in a Lexus projector WITH the Lexus actuator attached???
Seems like it would be WORLDS easier to customize an already existing projector actuator, then to try to design/fabricate/install one from scratch.
Don't get me wrong here, I LOVE the idea of adding adaptive Xenons, and completely am in awe that you have the ability to actually fabricate an actuator from scratch.  I'm just trying to figure out a way that suits my more 'limited' abilities and facilities I have access too, and figured 'Why try to reinvent the wheel' (or the actuator in this case), when I can simply try and figure a way to retrofit an already existing one.
Just my 2 cents

taking existing adaptive equipment would make sense, but heres the other side of it.
You have to figure out exactly how the Lexus in this case adaptive system works, what makes the servos move, what sort of signal is it etc... By designing his own system it may take more creative work, but he knows exactly how it all goes together and what signals it needs to be fed to work.
J-Ro, im still waiting to hear back from the person who runs the prototyper, they arent quite as on top of things since its summer and demand isnt high.
