Default Upgraded Headlights!

Well I found a steal on some upgraded headlights off of craigslist. They are the 2001-2003 style and i found them from a guy on craigslist who had bought them for his now ex-wife and have had them in the closet since he divorced her 5 years ago. So I went and saw them. OEM headlights! I was in heaven! I've been looking for them for a while but just haven't wanted to pay the price for them. The guy had them on craigslist for $100 for the pair. I offered him $50 and he said "OK, I'm never going to own another one of these Lexus' again so just take them, they are starting to take up space". Now of course I was overjoyed but could not show it. That was last week and today finally had the time to put them on. What a pain just to change out the headlights. We changed the headlights out on our mustang last week and there are literally no screws and just 2 rods that hold them in. Well with these I had to pull the wheel liners back to get to the screws behind the headlights and that was tight. But when all was said and done, they look fantastic and take a couple years off the cars age. So here is some pictures, lets see yours if you have done this as well. Can't wait to take it out for a night drive. Now to find a newer grill to go with the newer headlights...

What a bargain and they look great!

We keep our RX garaged and even with about 180k miles, the headlights look pretty darn good. So fortunately we have had no need for light replacement. But, for some reason the red and amber marker lights have fadded over time and don't look so hot.

There was no need to replace them, I just wanted to upgrade the look of the car. I will eventually find the taillights and my side markers are the same as yours.
