Default 1992 ES300 After Market Styled Headlights

1992 ES300 After Market Styled Headlights...
Hey guys I am new to this site and just picked up a 92 es300 on the first of 2016....
I am a at home mechanic with 2 years shop experience and thats all I feel like sharing for now and I will get to the point...
So i have a 92 ES300 and one of the headlights are scuffed and I dont want to buy OEM replacements I usually buy aftermarket on ebay.... But I can not find any aftermarket lights any where and dont want to bring em to a shop to have them customized...
So what I am looking for is a blacked out internals headlights and I can not find them anywhere its funny cuz my 93 corolla i had ther were like 25 different ones i could choose from but for a lexus i cant find any lol...
If anyone knows where i can find these aftermarket lights please lmk any help is appreciated Thanks

Unfortunately nobody sells them anymore, not sure why. Maybe cause there was not enough demand

Sounds like a retrofit is in order. The benefit is any modern projector will have much better light output than the ones that came out in the early 90s. I have compared them, one of my coworkers has a SC 300 with halogen projectors.

Here's one on a 4ES from megafast13 where he used niteshades on the chrome.

I just retrofitted Mercedes S550 high beam projectors into my foglights paired with an Opt7 30Wx2 Cree LED kit, pics coming soon. The projectors are good quality, all chrome reflector bowl and clear glass lens, and only cost $40 on eBay.

You'll really appreciate having clear lenses too. I had to replace the fog light housings when I did the retrofit because after 12 years the plastic will haze from the sun and no amount of buffing can remove it.

One fog light housing was more expensive than the set of projectors.

One of the head lights are ****ed up from an accident before I bought the car so I figured if I am buying a new set just get the after market ones I usually get for my cars
