I was wondering where evryone is buying their aftermarket headlights. Mine are stock and they are starting to yellow and look horrible. I need something. Usually I try Ebay but I can't find aftermarket headlights.

Also I've had my camry a few months now and I was wondering If i just had bad headlights on my old car or does the camry have awesome lights. The high beams make it like daylight.

And finally, I removed my grill without incident and placed it back with out incident but for some reason the center "nub" isn't fitting right and rises a bit causing a sort of wave under the Toyota emblem. It's a minor problem but I was jsut wonderin if ya'll had encountered it.

my high beams make it like daytime.. but i feel like the camry's low beams are somewhat poor... I raised them and they are much better, but they still aren't as good as my dads '02 nissan sentra..

I know you guys have aftermarket headlights... are they custom? did you buy them some where? which?? and if you bought them... where'd you buy them?

if you are talking to me... i don't have custom headlights.. its stock with silverstars (which i reccommend)

Go buy some Turtlewax rubbing compound...costs $3.99...use it on your headlights and it'll actually take the yellow away. I just did this to a really old set of headlights, they look pretty new now.
I'm not sure where everyone buys their aftermarket headlights, but I don't think people are trying to hide that info from ya.

As for your "nub" not going in, are you sure it's lined up properly and didn't get rotated?

you Should only need the rubbing compound on the outside... right?

same here.. stock and i just bought Silverstar low beam bulbs today.. they look much whiter than the yellowish stock bulbs.. even though my lenses are yellowish/not clear anymore

reddog69 and nobrainer, just go buy some rubbing compound and put it on the outside of the lense...you can literally make your lenses look brand new. I'm not kidding ya! I just did it to the worse looking set of lenses ever and they turned out very clear.

So true, I did the same thing with that Red TurtleWax rubbing compound... it made them look great!

alrighty, ill have to pick up some of that rubbing compound tomorrow..
now for those of you with the Silverstar headlight bulbs...
what did you do for the corners? now i have these super white headlights with light yellowish stock corner bulbs...
are there any corner bulbs that can match the whiteness of the silverstars?
