Default Can anyone identify these lights? I beleve lexus...?

So in NJ they have this day that everyone cleans their house, and big trash is out. I was at a friends and these were on his pile...does anyone know what car there from? It has dual projectors that i would like to use for a swap?
The projectors are large 3-4 inches in diameter....any input on if these would work

They have 2 days a year when the trash company will take large items, dressers, shelves, a hood, refrigerator, couches... you get the idea, it really is a specticale
I wonder if there are ever garbage wars? cause guys come around in pickups every 2 mins to pick through everything haha.

Anyway they definatly are ES300, there foggy?? I baked the lights and took them out, they look very clean on the inside...hmmm

Hahaha. Wasn't there a show that used junk to make things and they'd go into competitions with them?

Junk Wars? Or something like that..

And yeah, keep us updated on the retro.

Junk Yard Wars. I used to watch that show all the time. Im curious to see how this comes out. Are both projectors the same? or do you have both l+r headlights?

yeah. Theyre super cloudy.

also, theyre not "one" unit. Its composed of the bowl and the lenses.

Youre going to be having a very hard time mounting them.

Ha u dont need to apoligize 05 lol
I got them for free, basically just to take them apart..
There dirty in the pic. But they wouldent be an improvment over the 05's?

Soooo basically, it was interesting haha, they almost are the same placement as the low/high beam in the Tc, though...its funny how like toyota products are.

I mean the metal part

A change in lenses can make them significantly better. :D

The other problem I see, not a huge one. But you will have to hack that thing down the middle to separate the projectors.

Lenses? as in the convex glass on top? lol
It would probably be cheaper just to buy real ones huh? haha
Saw zaww them? lol that would be a classic mod. haha

hmmm haha sounds like this would be VERy complicated to the point that free projectors will make it cost MORE haha..
