ES300 Fogs Photo Request?

So, I've got a set of Lexus ES300 projector fogs sitting around. Was planning on putting them on my '93 Accord SE before getting the TL.
Curious if anyone has them on a 2G? I searched around and couldn't find any photos.
Thanks

i'm pretty sure someone has es300 projector fogs too. i just can't remember who. OP do a search for "projector fogs" in the 2G TL forum and i'm sure you'll find him. he owns a mustang too.

I toyed around with the ES300 foglights but the problem that I ran into was mounting it. I was trying to find an alternative to a JDM bumper on the 2000 TL. I went through Accord, Civic, Pathfinder and ES300 foglights before giving up and going with the JDM, I will say that I should have did the JDM from the beginning, it looks so much better.

how much smaller are the ES300 or IS300 projector fogs? I haven't tried installing my front bumper cover, but i'm afraid some of my charge piping will be in the way of my civic fogs.

Where are you mounting the lights, if you are trying to place them in the pockets, you will have to fabricate a bracket to mount to the bumper support so that the lights will hang low enough to fit in the pockets. that's the hard part. Customizing the how the projector sticks out is up to you.

I cut a hole and used bondo to smooth out the ridges in the pockets, then painted it black. It looked ok, but since the bumper does flex, the bondo eventually flaked and came off in areas.

i already have civic foglights



however, since mounting the intercooler and charge piping, i'm not sure if the fogs will fit. i haven't tried installing the bumper yet.

fuck the bumper just roll like that!

assclown you're doing big things man...how much did the SC set-up run you?

I wanted to SC my TL but all my buddies are into Turbo and if I was have them help (I'm pretty clueless with modding engines :-/) I'd have to go through them. My buddy is fabricating a turbo for me (which to be honest, didn't even know you could do) but he's complaining about the lack of room under the hood.

maybe I'll just good hood less...weight reduction no?

1600 for turbo kit

i dunno what your friend is talking about, but there is plenty room under the hood for a turbo.



move the battery to the trunk and no problem. the only complicated thing you might run into is running the downpipe, you may have to pull the engine a bit to fit it in there.
