I just ordered these depos: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004I1B6K0/?tag=ihco-20
But I'm swapping the whole front end to 2006-07. They won't fit otherwise.

Are these plastic or glass lenses?
I have an extra set of stock head lights...06/07 Going to send my lights to Nick(2000UZJ) at some point and have him do a retrofit for me.
All 3 of my original Toyota headlight sets are all plastic....I think 05 and below are glass.

Yes. The stock 2000 headlights are glass. I haven't opened the depos but I assume they're plastic. But they're also very cheap to replace once they start hazing.
Headlamps
Can you tell me what parts are needed to retrofit these headlamps on a 2001 LC? I am having no luck trying to find replacements.Thanks

The retrofit looks promising if one can clear-up pitting of glass lenses.

When you do this, perhaps you can better document the process? I have read the few threads on it and the biggest part always missing is what exactly needs trimming on the fenders to make the light work/fit. It is also the main reason I have never made the swap. I would love to see a better write-up with pictures of the process if you can....PLEASE.
At one time, Depo offered a retrofit version that had this 06-07 style but were drop in replacements for the earlier 100's.

I agree. Mine is a little complicated because my current front end is smashed. I'm not sure if I should tell the shop to fix everything behind the grill and then so the headlights grill and trim pieces myself. If I do it myself ill do a wrote up on it.
