I was wondering if anyone did this conversion before..Change the 92 camry headlights to 92-96 Lexus ES300 headlights..I wanna know if they will bolt on perfectly or do i need to modify where the screws go..and about the grille..Do i need a lexus Hood or i can use the 95-96 grille??

Thanx

You will probably need a lex hood, r/l front fenders and a lex bumper. Even with that I am not sure the front doors will line up with the new lex fenders.

nope.

you have to do the entire es300 front end conversion

head lights, corner lights, hood, bumper, fenders

and the grill is part of the es hood

Someone here in boston did it. He's the store manager for a Town Fair Tire in Rhode Island

You could also do a search, it might be a bit more helpful since this topics has been covered a couple of times before.

Try some gen2 ES 300's.

The headlight is split from the blinkers and looks exactly like the camry shape to me. If it don't work, Ebay them for $200.

^^ Hahahahaha I love that Camry. The guy did the headlight, hood and front 1/4 convertion, but missed all the other dozens of changes between the cars

It's not that hard to get sponsored by Toyo.

Probably a lot of body work too. I HIGHLY doubt it's a just a bolt on upgrade. They best way to do is to cut the fenders, hood and make custom brackets to get the lights to line up.

Didn't someone post a link last week of a middle eastern Camry with ES300 lights?? If I remember correctly, that car didn't look like it had been fully swapped.. it only looked like the lights had been fitted to work with the Camry hood/fenders.

^ There are many wagons in Japan that have the conversion as well.

Some Gen 3's with Gen 4 headlights

a lot of metal work happens in japan, thats why ya see lots of wrong lights on cars

if you can work with metal then ya all set

Did he replace the whole front end or is it the lights only..and about that one camry with the ES300 lights..that was a gen 4..im talkin about gen 3..

[SMAN] · 05-27-2005, 07:45 PM

he replaced the whole front end on the blue one, however he did put a gen 3 shogun bodykit on.

i actualy posted about this 3 years ago >.>

from my studies .....

hood
lights
side lights
fenders
bondo

or some good ole fasion boro

the side lights are larger on the es300 so the lights wont look good if you dont change the fenders, and unless your gona use alot of bondo the hood has to be changed as well since the lights are longer making it so you cant use the front grill. i'm not sure about the bumper thats why i say bondo. or boro fixes all

This is all in arabic but there is a Gen 3 Camry with ES300 lights. I dont have time to actually find it right now may try to look at it again later and find that car. If I remember right from the pics it was jsut the lights, no hood and fenders.
