The "euro-style" headlights for the '97-'01 ES are essentially the clear corner lamps, and they can be found from time to time on Ebay. A handful of members in this board have already sported the clear corner mods on their '97-'01 ES ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Here are pics of some of them:

not sure why you call them euro, then say the kind you see on a honda civic or acura rsx, especially since neither of those come with "euro" lights, or are european cars
you are referring to PROJECTOR lenses, which came on lexus first with the 92 es300... they were also added to the early gs.... but they were dropped and were recently added again to the lexus lineup with the sc430, then the gx, rx, ls, and lx... and now the es is back to projectors
even the new IS has them
these lenses were also on bmw's e30 model, though they looked slightly different, they were still projection lenses.
projectors use a lense to separate the beam, rather than just a reflective satelite dish shaped mirror. this allows for a more solid and crip beam, with a clean cutoff line
basically what this post is saying is that there are no projector headlights available for the 97 es300. unless you retrofit in your own set, and custom make your own headlights, you will not be able to get projector headlights for the third gen es.

I just found an ad on Ebay for some clear corners. Its says its for a 97, 98, 99 ES300. Does anyone know if they will fit a 2000 ES? Here's the page.
