Default Do front 00-01 headlights/signal lights fit on 97-99?

Heya guys,

I was wondering if I could fit in the 00-01 front turn signal lens housing on 97-99 ES300. Also, is it possible fit OEM 00-01 HID headlights on 97-99 w/o any modifications? Basically, what I'm asking is whether if 00-01 front lights are interchangeable with those for 97-99.

I just don't want to invest $1500 into a pair of OEM hids with reflectors and stuff w/o checking first. I don't want a kit for poor cut-off reasons and retrofit is too much work

Thanks for any info!

Yes, any OEM HID and non-HID headlamp for the '00-'01 ES is interchangeable with a '97-'99 ES. All the parts are the same, so everything should be plug-and-play.

you cant adjust the 00-01 hid headlamps because there is no wiring for the auto-level motor on the es300 without hid

Don't forget the Wireharness, ballasts and D2R Xenon Bulbs. Make sure you get all that upfront or you'll be sitting in the dark for a while (no pun intended)

Duly noted. I knew that from the beginning since I don't have any sensors to hook autolevelling oo

Yeah, that's why said it's about $15 hundred for the OEM HIDs - it's the whole works (sensors excluded) OEM HID Reflectors quite a bit cheaper, like 300 a piece I believe
