Use the search tool for retrofits. You should find a number of threads on the forum. They aren't all model specific, but that isn't important. Just use the info given. In order to do a successful retro, you gotta have common sense. Anyone can do one. It's like cutting a piece of wood, measure/check twice, cut/drill once.

if you have no idea what you are doing, like me, it's better to get someone to do it. aside from risking getting electrocuted, headlights are very expensive

This might help you out a little bit there Tortoise! Keep us posted. I don't come on here as much as I used to but I do check around from time to time and am easily accessible if you have questions etc. ( mikemill2k3@yahoo.com ) or via pm

I remember doing my 99 ES300 Coach Edition retrofit. It was one of my favorite ones from that year. Enjoy!
