Evening folks:biggrin:

Numpty newbie question coming up:
Are there any differences in headlights between the earlier model years ?
I gather from reading the forum that very late cars had a "dark chrome" insert.
Are the earlier ones all the same ?
I've got a 51 plate sport and need a new N/S headlight but want to make sure I dont screw up and get one that doesn't match.
I was watching a 2001 one on ebay and it fetched over £90 and being as some are £45 buy it now it makes me think there are differences.
Cheers for the help.

I only think the differences come on later models after 2003 mine is a Y 2001 plate and mine are the normal chrome style

You can split and paint them easily enough mate I've just done it this weekend so go for some cheap ones and you can re paint them whatever colour you want the only difference I found was the indicator location is slightly different

So your tuckin 15's, that's cute but come back to me when you get some proper size wheels

Didn't the late IS200's inherit clear indicators from the IS300 too?

I'm sure a read somewhere the later (might be 04 or 05) 200's were de-tango'd as standard, and the LE's got HIDs too.

I don't think 300 lights are a direct bolt in into a 200, something about the bolt spacing or bracket is different?

Nope except the LE which had IS300 headlights, the IS200 had the orange bits in them till the end. From 04 they had a dark satin finish, but otherwise the same headlight.
