Would 04-06 ES330 projector headlights fit onto an 03 ES300?
I found several listings on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LEXUS...item5d2ffa77eb
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LEXUS...item484099832d

They have the projector housings in them, not reflectors, which is what I'm looking for. However, I don't get what CCFL Halo things are supposed to be - do all of these come with angel eye headlights installed or something?
QUESTION #1: Anyways, if I do invest in a pair of these, would it be easy to remove my 2003 ES300 reflector headlights and attach the new projector headlights in their place?
QUESTION #2: If I put HIDs into my ES300 reflector headlights, would it be hard to (at a later date) buy these ES330 projector lights and transfer the HID kit from the reflectors into the projectors? Problem is that I don't know how messy the light output will be when I put the HIDs into my reflectors. It could be disastrous like in some pictures I've seen, or it could be perfectly okay. Not as good as projector HIDs, but okay. And if the result will be okay, then I don't want to blow 250 dollars on projector headlights if I don't exactly need them.

Do you have OEM HID's? They did come with the reflectors for the first few years, then projectors in 04+ iirc
1. yes [they are ****ty, aftermarket headlihgts, made to work with the oem mounts/clips/harnesses]
2. depends on how they make these. Most headlights like these are made to conform with the factory bulb sizes/clips, so the HID kit, would work in the OEM reflector as in the a/m units your looking to buy -> this varies from car to car, most of these headlights i've seen come made to work with OEM bulbs

I am looking into an H11 6000k HID kit for my 05 ES330.
How would the light output and glare be in the stock halogen projectors?
I'd really like to have that Luxury car look.

The bulbs for the low beam are different for the reflector housing, You would just need to change the connector on the low beam harness to the correct one for the bulbs that go into the projector. H11 if memory serves me well.
