Default Identify this Lexus

Hey guys, I am trying to identify the year of this Lexus but am so far unsuccessful. I'm hoping someone here can tell me what year it is at a glance and save me trouble. Thanks in advance!

That is the intersection of Rufe Snow and Mid Cities in Fort Worth TX (Watauga/ North Richland Hills to be exact...my old stomping grounds).

Agreed. Early-mid-90s ES300. A big seller.

Shows you how long they last if you take care of them.

That silver hatchback to the left of it is a Kia Rondo, which left the U.S. market a couple of years ago.

I believe it is a 95 or 96 model. The 92-94 had a triad of lights if I remember correctly. The 95-96 had 2 bars which you can clearly make out. My 96 tails are built like that picture, which made it more simple for LED tails since it was just 2 pieces as opposed to 3 that I was asked to make for a member

I am pretty sure it is either an 95 or 96 model ES300. The easiest way to tell is the "ES300" emblem on the back. All the way up to the 94, "ES300 was stamped on the tail light itself and then 95 on up the emblem was placed on the right side of the trunk above the tail light and not ON the tail light.
