i see alot of ppl with 1997-1999 es300s with 2000-2001 tailights. where does eveyone get them from?!

 

I imagine some get them from a wrecking or salvage yards, buy them or perhaps some even from the dealer. I hear the dealer is very expensive however.

 

youre lookin at at least $500 from a junkyard and twice as much from the dealer

 

i went to the dealer last week and priced them at Parker Lexus in Little Rock, Ar
the tail lights are as follow
280.54 for the each trunk light
194.60 for the side lights
I hope this helps you out

 

from the dealer its already $980.28 + tax

i got prices from a junkyard over here and they said $250 per side (trunk light and corner light)

so i was pretty close with my estimate

 

well i see that you aim to be correct so please don't ask if you don't want help ok
also i got the side lights from ebay a month ago for 200.

 

I love ya MRLEX, but your last statement doesnt make any sence? Hoebag just said that he had guessed the price of the lights, and that it was close to what you had quoted from your dealer.. Thats how I read it anyway?

lol ya i know it just the same old loveble hoebag

 

$375 total from 4 DIFFERENT salvage yards. GO to www.car-part.com

start there first

 

i bought mines from the salvage yard paid 300 for all back lights he was trying to throw 500 i told him he was on krack

 

That's the cheapest price I heard on the '00-'01 tailights. Nice salvage find

I'm kinda surprised no one mentioned Ebay, the tailights do show up there once in a while but not very often. More like a hidden treasure

 

Well if I can get my hands on an oven (Japanese houses dont have them) Then I will be ripping the amber plastic out and doing the custom mod.. I know they are not going to look like 01"s but it will make it a little prettier to look at... .. Then the other thought was to go the way of Mercs, and blacken them? I think because mine is silver, black would look good!

use a hairdryer or heatgun

 

LOL...I just called a salvage yard to ask about airbags for the driver side. HE told me he only sells them in pairs. I asked how much.....he said $1700. I slammed the fone in his face.

 

No, No... Not with the back ones.. They are VERRRRYYYYYYY hard to do without cracking... You really need an oven for them.. Do a search on past threads.. I was the sescond person to do them on here but i had to learn the hard way by cracking both of them a little..
