My sister just bought a 2002 Lexus and I noticed her headlights are awesome compared to my 94 celica. Is it possible to order her headlights online and use them on my car? Has anyone tried this?

Thanks smile.gif

For instance I found this on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-BLUE-9005-XENON-...=item27c343d17b

Do ya'll think it would be just as good?

2002+ Lexus headlamps come with HIDs and have clear lenses to allow more light, while stock celica lamps use the frosted lenses to refract the light in the proper direction. Upgrading to HID's would probably help but would also blind oncoming traffic because stock headlamps don't properly cut-off the lighting like newer cars do. The proper way to upgrade your lighting is to get a set of projector headlamps and if possible go with a 4300K HID system.
