I like the older style w/ the chrome waaaaay better! But I don't think that really addresses my issue. It's actually the two circular lenses within the casing that seem to be hazy. I think I need to open the housing just to wipe them clean.

I guess it's all on taste, but yea, it's sorta kinda sporty in a way with the darker and lines, kinda Type R looking.

Seattle ES300 and others... i have noticed while driving around town that a select few number of our generation ES's have really shiny chrom-ish looking projector housings inside the sealed headlight casing. you know, the round metallic parts. the one in the picture shown above and i believe EGainer's ES is the more shiny kind. mine is not so shiny. I don't know if they were made different, or well maintained (how do you polish the inside of a headlight?) or what. it kind of seems like it is regardless of the model year, cuz i see some shiny 92-94, and the others are not shiny 92-94. which come to think of it doesnt make much sense. call me crazy what not, those are my observations. if anyone else has noticed this, please reassure me that i am not "seeing things." and btw, i dont think i have seen any shiny kind in year 95-96.

What do you guys think about painting the mirrored headlight housing glossy black? I i'm going to take my headlights apart again so i can reseal them properly. Might as well kill 2 birds with one stone.
