Looking at headlights here

http://www.andysautosport.com/toyota/1997_2001_camry/lights/headlights/ and trying to figure whats the difference in 97-99 vs 00-01 Headlights. The ones that they sell for 00-01 are clear and 97-99 are not. Is there a difference in shape and size?

The 99-02 headlights are wider and have separate DRLs compared to the 97-98.

If your car is a 98, then get the 98 headlights. There ARE depos available for those years so you can still get a nicer looking headlight than the ones you have now. Also, if you want to switch to 00-01 headlights, you'll need to change out a lot more than the headlights, including the bumper.

And how's the performance vs oem?

Im looking for some good lights for my 98... I would like some black ones but I cannot find them anywhere. Do you guys have any ideas on that? I was also wondering about putting some 00-01's that I found. Glad I didnt now tho since I see they would not have worked...

iovaykind · 01-21-2011, 05:10 PM

Same place. Ebay has black ones too. The depo pictures are generic but if the description says black that is what you'll get

ShawnTRD · 01-21-2011, 05:14 PM

Who's got some I can see?

inzel · 01-21-2011, 05:30 PM

Hmm... I cant find any black ones... I am looking up 1998 Toyota Camry depo headlights and I only see a couple clear ones. Any thoughts on what Im doing wrong?
