Great work! I like how they look with your yellow fogs too!
I'll be installing a 4300k set in my ES probably next weekend....if not sooner!
Where did you buy your kit and how long did the install take you?

yeah doing the headlights is a bit risky but it looks 100x better IMO. If you have a old school oven i think its not too hard. My digitalized electronic POS oven was my biggest problem!

lol my grill is a so call "custom DIY JDM Grille".....i just took it out (6-8 8mm nuts) and painted the entire grille black then i just masked it off with tape and painted the edges with chrome spray paint.

Its a rather simple subtle mod but it really sets your ride apart from all the other ES3's

the 92-94 grille looks better with this mod though
