i had to replace one of mine this fall. It's a piece of cake. The only hard part is getting the boot off.
1) take the rubber boot off. (might be hard to take off like mine was but just keep trying.)
2) do not unplug the harness from the bulb before the boot is off.
3) once the boot is off, unplug the wire harness from the back of the bulb.
4) now there should only be 2 silver things sticking out. (These are the ends of the bulb.)
5) take out the old bulb. (should slide right out, may be a round plastic lock around it like on the headlights, i cant remember. if there is a lock just twist it off.)
6) once the old bulb is out, put in the new one.
7) now hook the harness back onto the bulb.
8) Finally, put the rubber boot back over the entire light, like it was before.
vola, you have just installed your replacement lights.
Remeber the hardest thing about this is getting the rubber boot off because of the cramped space.
Good luck

on sites such as sylvania's autocrapp, it says that the trunk uses a 194 wedge bulb, but it doesn't, it uses a long bulb, and i'd like to find out what the number for that bulb, as it's not written on the bulb, and also the ones from the visor vanity mirrors, what number is that? they look the same, but the wattage is different.... thanks in advance for your help....

ok. cool.
well i looked a ltitle closer and it looks like in addition to 1 headlight (my right one is stained badly) theheader panel is cracked in several places, i will need to replace that when i replace the bumper...
could someone post step by step pictures on changing the light bulb, esp talking off the stock bulb? i can't even find the pint, it's just the boot comes off and two h7 ends are poking out...

no 00-01 i said fit not 02 just as you quoted me saying above.
they came with a hid option that sunman made work on his
o... i still have to figure out how to unpin my h7 so that i can change that... thanks for your help, so 00 and 01 will fit.

I wanna replace my old halogens on my 99 ES300 with newer Xenon HIDs but i dont know what the procedure is to replace the bulbs. ANy aid or procedures will be gladly taken. THANKS! :D
have you found out how to?
-
the only other options with no body work is to get 00-01 ES clear headlights some available with HID's
if not sunman may sell you his old halogen headligths
the 01-02 ES will fit the 98 for sure? and those have HID options?

Will any other year fit the 98-99 es300 head lamp unit? IE. could i buy a 2005 headlamp assembly and put it in the 98? how about different cars? like could the GS or LS fit the es from other years?

ok, so i haven't been receiving emails that this thread was actually being responded to, but i have a 1998 ES300... and now my fuse was blown cuz i tried switching the trunk and vanity mirror bulbs... smart move huh? is 2825 the bulb that i need? oh and i just searched ebay, and 2825 doesn't show up... and to answer the guy above me, my courtesy lights just pop off with a flat head screwdriver.... nothing for me to break....
