28-03-2020, 03:47 AM #4They are IS200/300 xenon headlights with tinted lenses. The facelift headlights did indeed get dark chrome inserts, but not dark chrome reflectors. That would be a bit stupid, I'd say.
would you say the inserts are standard with a rint film or a different colour all together?
thanks
so what would need to be done to standard headlights - as it looks like the side where indicator is , is different and de tango'd? also maybe a slight tint film?

Would US headlights be the same connectors/compatable.....or more specifically would these fit my 2003 is200?

I would just spray the inserts black and leave the reflectors and lenses alone.
HID headlights do not fit a non HID IS200 without some cutting in the car. Also, UK headlights are pointed differently than LHD headlights.

28-03-2020, 11:21 AM #7The headlights are standard HID/xenon ones but the lenses are tinted, either with a film or spray. I wouldn't recommend it though, as darker lenses reduce the light output of your headlights.

any idea what would need to be done to convert the headlights to fit is200 ukspec and be put RHD? ....as altezza headlight ( i originally wanted) are around £400 on ebay - so if its possible im prepared to pay £100 or so to get these to fit and work correctly?
cheers

As I mentioned earlier, you can just open your headlights and spray the inserts black. That way you'd end up with this look:

If you don't like the orange part you can remove that as well and get chrome indicator bulbs.
