4th Generation Dumb question on headlights

I didn't find anything when I searched, and my measuring skills suck and my car is covered in snow, so here are my headlight questions
  1. What is the spacing between the two upper brackets that secure the headlight to the car?
  2. What is the total length of the headlight including the turn signal? Top length and bottom length
  3. What is the Height of the headlight?
My reason for all of these questions is I am trying to find a comparable headlight from another car that has a clear lense, and that is a single piece.

Thanks in advance

Shane

if you want a clear lens, check out the Greg Cheban stuff in this section ... he made a bunch of custom ones, and thats your best bet

idk if he'll start making them again, but i know another car's headlights arent gonna fit without a lot of modifications on your Gen 4

I saw that, but I don't want to modify with the addition of projectors. He says that he wouldn't reccomend using the clear lense with the standard reflector headlight.

You realize that any headlight from a car other than a Camry is not going to flow right with the lines of the car right?

I'm not sure how the Gen 4s are, but you can retrofit Gen 3 depos onto a Gen 3.5, maybe you can do the same for the Gen 4 with 4.5 headlights...

I do realize that it won't flow with rest of the car.

There is the ability to retrofit gen 4.5 onto a gen 4, but from what I've heard you need to replace the bumper and the fenders too, and I don't have the money for that right now.
