Hello all, I've come back to Lexus. Previously I owned a 2001 GS430 from 08-12 and was here under the name Rippaflow.

Since then, I've owned a 09 370z, 09 Civic Si, 09 Honda Accord, 90 CRX Si and a 98 Civic Sedan lol. All of those cars are gone now. GS traded in for Z. Z was hit on way to work, traded in after fixed for Si. Si was totaled in snow. Bought Civic Sedan and CRX Si as beaters (I enjoy having 2 cars). I just sold my Accord now and purchased my friend's 98 ES300 back in February.
At this point in life I'm really focusing on buying a home so the car payment life is over. I bought the ES for 2100 with 137K on it. It needed rear valve cover gasket, Timing belt service was over due, tires were new in front but mismatch in rear, rear abs sensor drivers side.


Since I've owned it in February, I've replaced passenger side front caliper, front rotors, front pads, the abs sensor, rear valve cover gasket, timing belt, water bump, crank/cam seals, pcv valve, intake manifold gasket, air filter, both drive belts. Also, an xenon depot 4300k HID kit. Then a few days ago, my grandfather gave me his old rims from his 03 es300. So I got tires and threw those on. I also installed my kenwood navigation that was inside my Accord.


So theres my introduction lol. The problem I am having is when my friend put in an aftermarket HID kit, he lost the clips that hold the bulbs in the headlight. So they are kind of just being held in by the rubber boot/cap at this point. So they are all over the place and driving at night is a joke honestly. Is my only way of fixing really going to be finding two used headlights or is there a place anyone knows of that sells just the clips separately?


Thank you.

The first post showed the interior after I started working on it. The picture with the trash is how I got the car lol... The brighter picture outside is after I buffed the head lights

A close up of how awful the stock wheels were and how it sits now.

the dealer might sell the clips. give them a call.

The wire clips that hold the bulb in? Try the junkyard. If they're H4 (or another standard size) you can pretty much pull them out from any other car with the same bulb type.
