Looking for 2000 es300 aftermarket headlights
Hey guys I'm new to the forum. I just got my first car about a month ago. It's an impeccable 2000 es300 in silver on top and gray on the bottom. I'm obsessed. I got my first job a few months ago and I'm ready to fix it up!! Does anybody know where to find aftermarket headlights for my car? All I've found was oem and I think some halos would look sick! Please help me out!!

Howzit everyone,
I am a new member, proud to be rocking a 98 ES300 in Honolulu, Hawaii. I love all the DIY threads (just used the one on accessing the foglight housing from the top of the car). Anyways, I was hoping to order some morimoto mini's from the retrofit source and a friend told me that enough people ordering can get a nice discount. Anybody down to make a group order from TRS?

Hi, I am new. I am a current owner of a 2001 ES300 (maybe about to be a new owner of a 2004 ES330, but we will see how that goes). I was looking up information as to a bit of a predicament I am in and the internets led me here. So hello! There are several Lexus owners in my family so we are all fans of their cars.

Hi,
New Lexus owner ; '03 ES 300
Not new to Toyota products ( owners since 1981 ) but this is the 1st Lexus and my wife asked "What took me so long ?? "
We replaced an '07 Ridgeline with this ES and she is quite HAPPY ...
I also have the best set-up, nephew is a certified Lexus tech... Best of both worlds...
That "Other" vehicle is my '02 Tacoma I have owned since NEW... Toyota has done ALL of the recalls so that Taco will be mine forever...

HELLO THERE!!
I am a first time Lexus owner. I switched from Chrysler after having 3 tranny issues in 3 different Concordes, enough was enough! I just bought a 1999 Lexus ES300 from Naples Florida and drove it to Minnesota. It has 26,000 original miles from an elderly one owner. Some quick rule of thumbs I need to know:
1. When to change timing belt ( I changed 3 of them on Chrysler Concordes-so it must be similar in degree of difficulty)
2. When to change tranny fluid, and Should I replace filter as well, and maybe run Mobil 1 ATF for a longer period of time?
3. Anything urgent I need to know on this model for repair issues? It has the 3.0 V V T. I plan on running 5w30 synthetic for 6k at time.
4. I have a door rattle or something on passenger side that I cannot locate at the moment.
5. Got around 30mpg coming home with it...Is that about right?
6. Was a Naples car, so it is rusty underneath bigtime--exhaust system..Is that a weak link? It already needed brake lines before I drove it home.
7. For tires, I plan on switching to p205 75 r 15's in a Michelin 'X" with 80k wear out warranty. Is that ok.
I am looking to get 300k miles out of this baby!!
Thanks for having me!!

I am not new to Club Lexus just new to the ES model. But here is my 92 ES300 5 speed work in progress. I plan on this to be a stanced out daily driver. I am test fitting some 17x9 BBS reps. I have coilover sleeves from a 97 Camry that I plan on installing. More updates to come.

Hello Everyone!
I wanted to drop in and say hi, I've been lurking for about the last 2 months learning and getting info for my car and thought it was about time I register
I have a 1998 ES300 and the wife drives a 1999 RX300 (AWD) both have the same engine so it's kinda cool that most parts are the same for both vehicles
Here's a couple of photos for you guys, I'm planning on some 17's (OEM Lexus if I can find a set I like) I use the car to drive about 25 miles each way to work and I gotta say this is a great car! I've been impressed with my Wife's RX300 ever since we bought it and I'll be sticking with Lexus for the foreseeable future!
Thanks for looking!
Troy.
