Salvage car parts place. ES300's are fairly popular.

I have oem factory 01 headlights which the housing reflector is different then non xenon ones as some have said its harder to do a retrofit with them so instead of hacking them up I rather sell them to someone that wants a factory look while I do projectors in anoither set...

Anyhow if anyone knows or finds aset let me know....thanks

Ah that makes sense. You can get aftermarket lights for about $150 but I don't know if the lens is perfectly clear or if it has a pattern to it. I was thinking of buying your lights actually but you in Cali and I am in Canada so that is a problem. But I want to do a HID kit myself and can't bring myself to butcher my originals just in case.

edit - if you go aftermarket or an older lamp you will lose the auto leveling feature right? I see non-HID aftermarket lamps on Ebay for $130/side the lens looks nice and clear.

I'll sell you my stock headlights when I swap my HIDs in. I may get them done this weekend.

I've bought a number of headlights on EBay, though you never know what you are getting if they aren't out of the car but the potential good deals are there...
