Looks Sic man been trying to find those conrners for quite a while now. Love the speaker install very very clean and little loss of trunk room. IDK about the windom security sticker doesn't seem to flow with the color of the car maybe on the top of the rear window if anywhere.

I got the lights used, but they are in pretty flawless condition.
Also the HID is stock 4300k? (something like that)

I'm actually thinking about sticking it on the windshield in the bottom corner.

Like MCV20 said, its the `01 spec. head lamps with HID (OEM also).

Like I mentioned before, they were gifts from my g/f's best friend when she and her husband when to Japan.

If you guys are planning on getting them, i have a word of advice: You have to modify the radiator support, specifically you have to trim it. The shape of the housings are a little different. Its probably because that the HID ballast is mounted under the housing.
Good luck if you guys decide to get them.

I believe that advice is pertinent for those with a '97-'99 ES. When I had my '01, I retrofitted the HID lamps, bulbs and ballasts with no modifications needed for the body or radiator frame.

Good catch-
I guess that the 00-01's get the modified radiator supports so it can fit either hid or non-hid.

The car is lowered about 2"f and 1.75"r, and the teins are pretty cool, it rides better then my old JIC's

How much lower can you go on the tein's? I just got a set of JIC's and the ride is okay...kinda rough so I'm thinking of switching to tein ss coils.
