Question Headlight Question

My wife banged the front passenger side if my 1993 ES300

anyway, I picked up a replacement headlight on eBay, it was from a 1994 model.
I noticed that it has lines in it where the '93 light doesn't...
I had never noticed this before... why the change?

1992-1994 models came with chrome insides and no lines outside
1995-1996 models came with smoked chrome insides and 3 lines across

I won it for $114.50, I have it on and it looks good and I can see again at night....

BUT, the Drivers side looks sad and cloudy... When I get my funds right, I will probably pic up another for it

Thanks for the info


I have noticed that I see more Drivers side Headlights on ebay than I do the Passenger side...
That must be the side that gets banged up the most...

you could try polishing your headlight lens if theyre cloudy or yellowing on the outside. check out this thread:
