They aren't headlights, they're plastic covers that go over the headlights...and makes it more aerodynamic. Not easy to find but a set comes up for sale every now and then on ebay.co.uk.
Edit: http://www.aero-eurou.com/product/toyota/celica_gt4.html you can try contacting them, but I don't know if they bought the rights to make them from Forgmann or not... This post has been edited by AMCMoe: Dec 19, 2009 - 9:46 PM |

If you find someone who makes 'em, you should see if you can organize a group buy. Id be all over that.

Davey, I think you might be thinking of the clear lens group buy? Not the same thing, since those would replace the stock lenses. I'd love something like these, since the front looks awkward at some angles due to the headlights. However, I think it would be nicer if the headlights themselves could be brought flush with the bumper, since having a lens over the headlights themselves might look a little weird.

 Lenses over the headlights kinda seems Datsun-esque to me. If you guys like it, it might have potential. Smoked lenses right there may not look too bad, and easily removable if a cop ever gives you flak. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

I think that would be quite difficult to do as the headlights are the wrong shape to achieve that simply by moving them further forward with bracketing. Perhaps it would be possible to do create lenses like those in the clear lenses group buy, but make them much deeper so they finish flush. But one would need new rubber gaskets and a way of fixing the gaskets. Not that it couldn't be done, but it would need quite a lot of design work, sourcing and so on. Mkaing them from smoke coloured plastic or even that slight mirror effect plastic would probably be the way to go. Perhaps painting the bit of bumper behind the plastic grey would help too. -------------------- Davey

I was thinking more along the lines of eliminating the primary lens and then somehow moving up the assembly, then fitting the clear lens in the original post over the bulb.

Follow me? Yes, but unfortunately I still don't think it will work with the original accessory lenses pictured above. I think it could be done by making a new clear plastic primary lens, some kind of hybrid based on both the accessory lens and the clear primary lens from the group buy.

A sh!tload of custom fabrication and invention. Seems pretty impossible since there are things in the way of the headlight being there, the bumper couldn't support the weight and would therefore flex/crack...but you can get it done with enough money.

I believe vincent_doggy was trying to do the clear lens group buy so I would suggest starting there. I haven't been following the group buy thread so not sure how far he got with that. -------------------- Davey
