Default pre-97 vs. post 97 head lights

are there any differences at all between the 92-96 head lights vs. the 97-00?

anyone know how much the dealer sells a new head light (one side) for the 00'?

there is no difference in the shape, or fit into bumpers, but there IS a difference in the build of the projector and the quality of the light output if you buy headlights that were manufactured AFTER SC production ceased (basically all headlights if you buy them new from Lexus now). The cutoff is better and the beam pattern/spread is better.
