That would be a serious pain man to try and integrate fogs into the USDM housing. I think you'd be better off trying to source those aussie ones or you could do an es250 front but that would involve the entire front off the es. You should try ebay Australia. Contact the sellers there and see if their willing to ship state side. I think for the aussie you'll need the front grille and headlight shroud between the hood. If I remember correctly the aussie head lamps are a little bigger. If your aussie connection comes through let me know I'm actually interested in perhaps obtaining a couple parts as well. Good luck man.

That is correct - you need the grille, headlights and shroud thing between grille and hood.

They're not 'fog lights' per se, they're driving lights that ONLY turn on when you have high beams on. That's if you're referring to those globes integrated in the headlight, closer to the grille. Also, our lights are for RHD configuration i.e. the LHS light will be aimed slightly higher to light up street signs(which may blind your oncoming traffic) and the RHS will be lower so you don't blind oncoming traffic(not lighting up street signs at night/country driving). Not sure how far you can adjust it.

If some of you guys are dead set on getting these parts, i may be able to help.

Don't forget that you also need the parking/corner lights.

The list is:
L+R headlights
L+R corner lights
Grill
Nose panel (above headlights, in front of hood)

With those parts, everything just bolts on. And yes, the 'fog lights' are spot beam driving lights. They wouldn't work in fog at all. I still have to wire them up to work with the hight beams (they are on a separate switch at the moment). The main bulbs are brighter and the lights have a better beam pattern. The RHD 'flare' in the lights is not so bright to bother other drivers if you adjust the lights correctly.

Stock lights:


Aussie lights, lowered, wheels:

i think they use H4 instead of the crappy 9004 which makes it a lil brighter.

Yup. H4 for the lows/highs and H3 for the spot beam.

You can also change over the indicator to be a dual filament turn-signal style bulbs (1157, I think?) with the right holder. Its nice to get a little more side-visibility for your turn signals - at least around here with all the multi-lane freeways.
