1998 ES300 Headlight Conversion To OEM Xenon HID Lamps 2000-01
Hey guys,
I have a 1998 Lexus ES300 that came with stock halogen headlights. I found a set of stock xenon HID lamps from a 2001 Lexus ES300. The lamps look identical from the outside. One difference I can see is the compartment on the bottom that encloses the ballast. I've got all the pig tails and I know how to wire up the ballasts. The problem I'm running into is the loom and ballast compartment seem to be obstructing proper fitment. I have an idea of how I can modify my core support to make them fit. Before I start cutting I want to see if anyone has done this swap before. Any insight would be helpful as far as fitment.
Thanks
Tyler
