Message Lenses are 2.5-2.6" and interchangeable with any other 2.5" projector. (ie. S2000, TSX, A4, A6, SC430,...)

Here is a picture of 300zx clear projector lense with SC430 projector, very sharp cutoff with a nice band of color:

Overall Diameter=Dt, Curved Diameter=Dc(dia. of the curved part of the lens, without the flat edge), Center Thickness=Tc, Edge Thickness-Te. No focal lengths, sorry.

Stanley Low Beam (Honda S2000)
Dt=66.00mm
Dc=62.54mm
Tc=24.60mm
Te=3.54mm

Koito Low Beam (90-96 Nissan 300ZX)
Dt=65.00mm
Dc=65.00mm (same)
Tc=23.50mm
Te=1.75mm

Stanley Low Beam (Lexus SC430)
Dt=66.30mm
Dc=62.60mm
Tc=24.60mm
Te=3.60mm
f(appx)=50-52mm

Mounting hole distances are not measured beacuse most people
would make their own and cut-off stock brackets
