Headlight changes? Options

[tfrock]

Hi,
I'm a newbie here and am getting a 95 St Friday. The question I have is, does anybody know of different headlight assemblies I can use (with a little modification) to give the car a little more masculinity? BTW, I like the curren makeovers but am not looking to do that much in the way of changes just yet. Thanks for any help you can give.

The best way to go is jdm projectors. I don't know if they are masculine enough for you, but its damn sexy to a lot of the users on here.

Other then that, you can't really do much unless you do the curren front end conversion.

get a new front bumper and the celi will roar..

^^^^That or the halo eye option, but that would require you to "oven bake open" your lights and insert the L.E.D. ring in it. Also the eye lid over the headlight lens, but that's not my cup of tea.

Thats true, but its bullsh*t. So if a car equipped with NO2 oem, its legal then?

They're REALLY sexy looking, I would love to throw some in my car, but like he said, they're freakin' expensive... I have a hard time throwing down 750+ for some headlights...

I love Texas

I feel bad for Cali guys, Ya'll have some many rules and regulations. Toyota even had to make a special motor just to sell to you guys (gt) (well, modify an existing motor, rather, but they did have to change things )

JDM is a whole headlight assembly. You could also buy some clear lenses, HID projectors, and some HID lights, then retro fit the whole thing. it'll give you a sort of JDM look. Not exacaly, but it'll give you that clear thru look, and while your doing it, you could always add angel eyes. FTW.

Just bear in mind, that JDM projectors are EXPENSIVE!! Like CRAZY expensive. The part numbers are as follows:

Projector Headlights - These low beam headlights are available in some Celicas overseas from 1996-on, and they have a H1 bulb behind a projector unit, to provide a sharp beam cutoff such as that seen in new Audis, second generation Integras, etc. These lights also have a socket in them for accent lights, and this socket uses a 194 bulb. The part numbers are below.
81014-20100 (Left)
81012-20100 (Right)

Clear High Beams - These high beams are available in some Celicas overseas from 1996-on and they have a crystal clear lense. The part numbers are below.
81130-20050
81170-20050
