97 ES 300 replacement Headlights
Has anyone bought the replacement headlights from ebay for there 97 ES? If so how is the fit and does the front bumper need to come off to install them.
Which ones? OEM or TYC?
If they're TYC stay away. I had one on the car, finally bought a used oem one. THe TYC/aftermarket will yellow quickly and its not reversible.
However the price point is right at ~220$ USD for both sides, so it depends if its worth it to YOU, they'll look new for a couple of years, but the quality and durability is just not the same as OEM.
The fit is like OEM, and no the front bumper doesn't come off. All that comes off is the side markers/fender lights and a couple of bolts in the rad support.
