I am trying to help my son get his 2000 ES300 back on the road. He was hit and runned last week and the front end, above the bumper was smashed. I was able to get the core support straightened out (within reason) and found a decent used hood. His had the deluxe xenon, self leveling headlights which were smashed beyond any chance of salvage. Replacement units are very expensive. He found a pair of the standard halogen lights at a local pick & pull wrecking yard. Does anyone know if I can simply swap them out and install the standard lights with the existing wire harness? If the plugs are different can I splice in the different plugs? Thanks, Joe

Yes you can use the halogen housing. however you cannot use the D2R HID bulbs, you need to get an H7 bulb.

Thanks for the help. I cut the leads out of the shattered unit and spliced the wires that went to the ballast onto an H-7 bulb socket. Worked great.
