JDM Camry 03 Headlight (56k beware)

[OrangeJuice]

hey I was wondering if perhaps you guys can help me out on my little dilemma. I obtained a pair of JDM head lights for my camry LE V6 and was about to install it but it seems that the sockets are a bit different I know the low beam uses h7 (I picked up some silverstars for it ) and the high beam uses 9005. The main difference is that the signal light uses a smaller size socket then on the USA camry head light and there is also an additional hole for a city light. I went to the toyota dealer part center and asked them if perhaps they can give me light sockets and harness for them..but they had nothing and could give me no information to where I can obtain it. I drove home and surfed the web for parts but found nothing. After all the fustration, I ended up going to the garage and unplugging the light sockets of my dads 1999 4runner it just so happens that after a while of unscrewing and checking the sizes of the sockets...the signal light socket from the 4runner fits the JDM camry signal light hole lol. Now all I need is the harness for that socket. Where can I even begin to search to obtain one Oh. Aside from that..I have no clue where to look for a bulb socket and harness for the city light If you guys can people please do! This is quite fustrating hahah thx guys! pics below




love the signal lights...dont see too many of those in califonia too bad the socket for the signal lights is only two pronged.. seems like i have to sacrifice the daylight driving option of the turn signals






the small hole is the city driving light spot

So ummm......nice headlights but I see no difference between the US and the Japanese version. Can you fill in some blank spots in my head? As for the sockets, I wouldn't know.

hahahha yeah its hard to spot the difference if you just take a quick glance.


the top is JDM and the bottom is the US model

the JDM headlight looks the same as the Australian Gen5 headlight to me

this is where the main difference comes in,
the US Version uses the Turn Signals and City Lights together in the same bulb. So the Turn Signal stays on, until you indicate and then it flashes.

but with the JDM/Aus Version, the City Light comes on and stays on, and Turn Signal stays off until you indicate and then it starts flashing.

I guess so, but in my opinion, I don't think anyone would notice you have a JDM headlight except you. At least you're being different.

uh, i think if you remove the orange USDM reflector, it'll look identical to the JDM model...

what color car do you have..?

if you really wanna be different, paint the housings the same color, otherwise no one will know they're JDM...

oh i thought about removing the reflector but it seems that if i do remove it, it will leave a big hole and the bulb exposed on the side. i think.


anyway...is there any site that sells JDM sockets? i really rather have these lights mounted on my car rather then leaving them in my room where it gathers dust

Nice headlights. So what if no one will notice, you know it is.
