I recently won a eBay auction for a pair of ES350 headlights. They were advertised as IS lights and the seller informed me after I won the auction. I figured that I would resell them after some sort of modification, so I kept them.

I thought of adding some LEDs and/or vinyl panels - maybe a small graphic on the low beam barrel. I know it's a Lexus and it has to be classy.

Anyways, if you were in the market for a headlight update, what would you like to see? Thanks!

I love the stock headlights... the only mod i did was only changing the bulb to the hid kit from ebay.
Costed me less than $40 including shipping and dont forget get the canceller to avoid flickering.
I love my HID.. the 8000K.

Thanks for the feedback!

It is a great modification but nobody is going to buy a set of headlights to get it. They can buy the kit like you did. I usually improve the high beams on my cars because I live in deer country.

I was thinking of a angel eye ring around the low beam projector. It would be a white CCFL or LED so it could be used legally on the road.

I wouldn't do that unless I was making a pair for a specific customer. Some places, like Connecticut, will give you a ticket for no amber reflector.

I planning of something like that. Since I don't know what color of car, I'm leaning towards gray or silver vinyl panels. Maybe a kanji symbol on the low beam barrel.

I'm planning on adding LEDs but not exposed strips. The Lexus is too classy for that look. I might add something under the turn signal lens. Is there a way to disable the ES350 DRL's? I might sneak a individual LED in between the high and low beams pods.

I have put strobes in projector units before. I might be able to add a LED or six that would be used as DRL's.

Thanks again for the feedback. I'll post some work in progress pictures.

Step 1: take them apart - about 90 minutes - that black adhesive is like working with tar. Get it hot enough to soften and it sticks to everything. Now that I have them apart, I can try different things and take measurements. There seems to be enough room to do things.

Those are nice. I have used the LED halos in the past but they didn't have the fluted cover.
