I have an 04 ES330 and one of the headlights is cracked. before buying a replacement on ebay, has anyone upgraded their 04s to the now 05+ projector style headlights? If so, was it plug and play? Thanks

Do you have Halogen or HID lights?

The 05-06 headlights uses D2S bulbs. If you bought an aftermarket HID kit for your car, then you most likely have the 9006 bulbs. You will need to buy a set of bulbs with D2S base in order to use them on the 05-06 projectors.

The actual bulbs are completely different, you would need a different aftermarket HID kit, which is what I did. The actual housings fit perfectly though.

Check Sylvania's website for all bulb type differences.

Nice ES man, can you link me to the led panels on your headlights?
If not what brand are they?

Just quick question on this super old thread.

Are the tail lights the same deal? I love the 05+ tails. Will they fit into my 04 without a problem?

Yes they'll fit but as MegaFast mentioned, you need the wiring connectors on the tail-lights themselves.

Excellent!

I was looking at his cardomain link, and I also want to do the clear corner indicator/reflector lights.

Megafast, can yo help out with a couple of details on what connectors I need, and where I can pick up a set of clear side lights?
