Halos for gen4.5 camry

Okay so i have a 2000 camry le, and ive been looking into replaceing my headlights. I've noticed that the headlight lenses on my camry has a dull yellow tint to them. So the question is should i completely get rid of the original headlights for new halos? or just try cleaning the headlight lenses. Anyways i was doing some research on Ebay motors, looking for little things for my car and came across this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2000-00-01-Toyota-Camry-Headlights-JDM-Black-Halo-Lamps_W0QQitemZ160309336600QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMoto rs_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item25532e5a18

is that a good deal or is there another place where i can get a better offer? Sorry i don't have any pictures at the moment.

wait for ones that come with the blacked out corners- i think it looks odd to have the black housed headlights and clear corners.. but if that floats yr boat, then by all means.. help the economy! LOL. good luck!

Unfortunately the Gen4.5 does not have any aftermarket black corners. I have only seen the clear ones and the black ones I've seen were custom. I agree with one_to_hate, it looks unbelievably better with black corners to match. I blacked out my own corners and I'll tell you it is not an easy task.

FYI, the halos on those headlights are not that bright, it is not like BMW halos, pretty much only visible in the dark. But overall, I still liked the of the headlights regardless of the corners or the dim halo.

i would not waste your time cleaning the headlights i tried it with rubbing compound and yes it looks far better but only for a week then back to yellow

i think those are some sexy lights for that car and not a bad price go for it!

heads up... the halos tend to look blue-ish and be slightly dimmer around the top.

When I was looking for them, I didn't find any available for sale. But if you know where they can be bought, please share.

Yeah, where can you find the blacked out corners? I like the black halo headlights. They look good. You get about the same visibility with the black halos as you do with the stock headlights.

It looks real sharp if you add the fogs and the black front end mask.




I paid about $140 for my black halos. That was with shipping included.

That was the first place I looked and no one was selling black corners for the Gen4.5. Searched "black corner camry" and nothing comes up for the Gen4.5, guess I missed them when they were available.

if you are looking to clean your headlights, try mother's aluminum and mag polish and some elbow grease...you can find it at wal mart or advance auto for about $5. works great, it gets everything off, but i dont think you can get stuff thats on the inside, unless you take it off and do it on the inside too
