i believe your in luck as well. www.ricks2k.com made the ones for the '02-'03 TL and i believe they just came out with the '99-'01 ones.

the ones for the '02-'03 TL cost $82 shipped.

I personlly don't like the diffuser. I think it takes away from the clean flowing look of a cleared headlight. Look at the thread, "Finally cleared my headlights" and you'll see it without, I think it looks better without it.

GotNav? -- It all depends on how much you want to spend on shipping. Standard shipping for me is 2 day priority mail. If you want and have it overnighted both ways it will be 4 days. The day I get the headlights I do them and mail them out the next day. I guarantee that they wont fog up or I will redo them. I have done many people on this forum and other forums with a 100% satisfaction. Never had a complaint about leaking or quality. When you receive your headlights it will look like they were never open and it give is a OEM look.

PM me or email if you are interested.
