Yup, those, look how they are not wide but give just enough accent to fill up that space that you have in the shroud opening

They are AP2, and yes there is a difference, but I have yet to compare apples to apples, so all I have heard/read is someone else's opinion.

All cutoffs are made of metal, for all low beam HID projectors, its a built in fixed cutoff line just like in the JDM Soarer projector bowl. Only bi-xenon's have a moveable shield for their hi/lo functionality.

Are you sure they aren't IS300 fogs?

You can also put yellow fog capsules into your fogs to get the GS fog effect.
Yes these are ES300 fogs, I just removed the huge housing they came in. The complete fog light assembly looks like this.

This is the jewel inside!

Mine were from a 1992, I don't know if the year makes any difference.

Post a pic of what your internals look like, here's my shield.

Mine pretty much looks like that. I guess the year does matter. I don't know what year mine are from since I got them from eBay. They were only on the ES300 from 92-94 so maybe your lights are from 92-93? Funny how we know more about the ES300 fogs than the ES300 owners.

P.S. I have a GS.

So if you put the ES fogs in your high beams, you'll have yellow fogs, and yellow highs! Shweet!

There is a difference between a 3" diameter projector lens, and the rest of the projectors dimensions (width, length, height). Just saying you want to swap in any 3", and it will fit, is not the best way to go about a retrofit.

You have to take into consideration projector dimensions, and limited room inside the SC headlight. Do your homework, and you will be happy with the results.

Nope! Stock S2K output performance is superior when unmolested. Just like LS430, TL, TSX, blah blah blah...

I chose the S2k 'cause I wanted razors, I'd hate to dull them just for visual esthetics.

Let me see the pictures of the cutoff once your done like off a parking garage! Im thinking that the SC headlight covers are to thick and defract the lights differently. Who knows, but Im sure it'll be better than the stock dot projectors!
