Red & clear tails for the ES300 is pretty non existent to my knowledge. Many of the Camry V6 aftermarket parts will fit your vehicle. Toysport.com is a good start and also www.camryman.org as well as our own...www.teamsc3.com.

Good Luck!

I also have a 94 ES300, I have looked for the tail lights and have had someone look on their parts computer in the modifications store I go to. There are none made that I know of. Or that they know of. I am going to get the KandN Air Filter for $62 at AutoZone. That's something you can do.

Whoa...$62 for a K&N? No way! That's a rip off. I got my K&N for $35 bucks out here at K&N's largest distributor here in Riverside,CA (K&N Engineering based here also in Riverside). Try www.summitracing.com. The part number you want for 94-96 is 33-2052. 33-2145 for 97 and up ES300. Both parts are identical.

Doesnt the lens come out of the rear lights... if you look closely the lenses are placed inside the cover.... then all you need is the colored bulbs

I know the front ones are hard as hell to make clear.. I mean heating the sealant up and takeing out the lens and resealing it perfectly.. Its got me scared even to attempt.. I already tried on my fog lights, and I broke the spring that holds the bulb in place.. So for now I had to duct tape! Thank god it still works!

Post Lights

That is good to know, I don't want to be spending too much for a filter. The tail lights are easy to change. You open the trunk and take off the carpeted panel against where the tail lights are. The tail lights are behind it just like the headlights. Easy to change. The headlights I am going to change soon, But what brand should I get. Autozone was going to order some for me for $40 or something. THey were "AIC" brand or something. Is that a good brand, they have fiberglass backs, so I know they will not melt the wiring. And about the front lights, making them clear corners. I have not done it yet, but yes, heating the rubber is not a good idea. I think it would be easier to cut it and have it put back in by the same stuff that is used to replace windshields... DOes that not sound safer than putting heat near the paint? I am going to check that out more. If anyone knows anything else, let me know.

Post Tail lights clear?

No, sorry my tail lights are not clear. I have to get some damage fixed, broken left tail light. I backed into one of my Dad's cars. But after that, I am changing them. They will not be clear, just different color bulbs behind the red plastic.

Actually it is not legal. You are supposed to have red brake and taillights and orange turn signals and white reverse lights. BUt people do things that are not legal all the time

Thats cool. I would like the clear lights for my es though. Then obviously I would need the colored bulbs. But shoot, I'm scared even to attemp to make the front ones clear.. Much less the rear ones. I would love to have though!
