get the guy to send you part numbers, then post them up, I'm sure someone here has the Toyota EPC and can tell you where they're from... but as far as I know, they're not stock like that, just looks painted to me...

Yeah, I caught this last night as well. Saw it on ebay. Was wondering the same thing. Could it be possible that this guy did the same thing to his low beams like doing to the high beams in the article in 6gc.net about the Angel Eye implements on the High Beams? I guess he opened it some how and painted the whole thing and then put the lens back on.

somebody correct me if i`m wrong but those housings look different than stock. if they are jdms, they should have the parking light. also, there seems to be 4 bolts when stock ones don`t. plus the headlamp adjuster screws aren`t there. and finally, the tabs on them are different. stock lows have one tab on top and two on the bottom. while these ones have tabs on the top, bottom and SIDE.

i have a bad feeling about this...

you are sorely mistaken my friend those are indeed LOW BEAM 94-99 celica headlights

notice they CURVE and are ment to be placed angularly not straight like a high beam which is a circle not an oval such as those pictured

as for the back of them

yes there was a "JDM" version of headlights that were lined (aka non clear) that were not projector this could very well be that version but one of the euro members would have to confirm this

um... those are the Low Beams. High beams have 2 tabs on the top far sides and are more circular than the oval shaped Low Beams.

i've got jdm headlamps (non-projectors) and those don't look like what i have. but the tab arrangement looks oem (not just plastered on) which makes me think otherwise???? confused.gif

your highs aren't ridged... or it doesn't look like it..... or is it like fiberglass and bondo'd smooth then painted

Ill get night pics up as soon as possible..im borrowing my girlfreinds camera for all my pics,so when i get it back ill take some night pics.

Dustin.they are ridged...just how it look in the pics.

Ill also so you my contraption i made to take my light apart,becuase as you know our lights are glass and very fragile and will chip easily..
but the why i did it it takes about 2 minutes for each light for the lense to just fall off like there held on with butter..just watch you hands cuz i try to pick them up with out gloves and i have my fingerprint burned to the top of my driver low beam..... lol
it just a hair dryer and a CARDBOARD box with two holes in it... plastic boxes will melt
