Hey guys, last weekend I had some extra time to swap some parts over to my Alltrac Camry. Let me know what you think:

Old:


New:

much better

[disregard]

Not bad not bad at all ! But I like the Older style taillights less narrow looking ^^

Next I want to see some altezza lights or something similer to them. Does something like that even exist ?

[blkdmnrcing]

you beat me to posting pics. i just installed mine on monday. havent had a chance to take pics. but i must say, they look way better then the damn 89 style tail lights.

Looks like my rear end. On the camry I mean.

Looks great! A bit meaner...

i like both tails, so it's great either way in my book. haha.

hoy! i used to live in glendora. /offtopic

I like the first set better IMO, the turn signal looks like its sticking out too far from the rest of the light on the second set.

It looks sweet but I want a jdm set myself.

I like the "91 Style tails" my self even though they were also on some 90 models such as mine. Perhaps they should be called 90-91 style lights?

That's why I said '91 style - I actually pulled these of my '90 Camry. Sometime in the '90 model year they switched over to the tri-oval emblem and newer tail lights. The front lower valence is the only way to know '90 vs. '91 for sure.

To me, the turn signals are less obvious on these lights, and I like the slightly ligher color of amber and red.

PS. Anyone want a set of pre-91 lights?

Are there any "aftermarket" Taillights available ?

Yeah, does your 90' also have painted door handles as opposed to the chrome ones? I believe that is another small change in addition to the black trim under the new tail lights. I really like the 91' style bumper valence. I wonder if thats an easy swap?

BTW your ride is coming along nicely. Tein coilovers are badass too

Unless you are talking stock replacements, no... (luckily!)

They door handles are still chrome on my '90, and the trim doesn't wrap around the back. I forgot about those things. I like the chrome handles and shorter trim, luckily.

The one thing I do want is the lower-profile side mouldings that my '90 has instead of the ones that slightly bulge out. I'm not sure if that was a US vs. Japan build thing or a base vs. DX vs. LE thing or what...

The front valence is an easy bolt-on affair. Finding a good one is the challenge... I need to do a junkyard trip again to see if I can find one...
