Talking Wuddup ClubLexus?

Wuddup ClubLexus?

I finally got my first car, a '97 ES300!

I've been lurking around the forums for a while, learning basic DIY stuff like oil
changes etc, and finally made myself an account now that I have a Lexus of my own. Previously I would do basic stuff on both my mom's RX330, and my dad's ES330. Moving on, my car was not maintained perfectly, so I am going to get it painted, drop in a GPS, etc. Now, for my questions: Are there any tutorials on how to install Angel-Eye Headlights? Also, are there any tutorials on how to tint the windows?

Thanks,
Rayce

Welcome to the club! Angel - Eye Headlights I have seen that but not done well, good luck on that one. Have you installed tint before? If the answer is no, I would recommend not doing it. You can get tint done for under $200 and thats with a lifetime warranty. Versus maybe $100 and having to redo it in a couple years maybe weeks. IMO time is money and its not worth it for my time. When I have to drop the vechicle anywhere Im wasting money and messing around finding rides and such. But if you got great friends and a free schedule more power to you.
Regardless good luck your going to enjoy your ride and welcome to the club. Also we enjoy pictures so post 'em!

Welcome to the club! Angel headlights are tricky little things to do I heard. But window tint I would recommend going to a professional so it looks perfect. And pics would be great!

Thanks for the quick replies! I'll post some pics as soon as I get home. Are you absolutely sure there are no Angel-Eye kits for the ES300? Are there ways I could make myself some angel-eyes or would it not be worth it?

Do a quick google search. I have seen it done on a ES on cardomain but I doubt there is a kit. Also search here for all the folks who have done some amazing things.

all that fancy stuff gets old really quickly.
if u got no projectors in the headlights, do a retrofit!

retrofit > angel eyes

Welcome to CL, hope you find this forum helpful.

If you really want angel eyes, please do a retrofit, cause I don't think having the angel eyes siting there will look good at all, just my 2 cents
