[trife96]

do a search

congrats on the ride....not that I'm totally ignoring you...but those topics have been asked over and over and over again

Ebay... for headlights, headers and exhaust and tail lights.

Make your own intake from intercooler piping. Don't buy an e-bay kit.

GoldCorolla... insert pics of cold air kit nao plz.

[gold94corolla]

hahahaha OK OK.... but a search will bring up the pics.

Yeah, everyone should have a nice tube intake on their car. You can start off with the Ebay one, actually I recommend it as a good first mod to get your hands dirty and stuff..... and then you can use the parts to make a real cold-air intake which will give you a significant power boost all year long.

I can't say that any of the other mods I've tried (exhaust, NGK spark plugs/wires) made any difference.

ok thanks ill look in to doing that as far as the headlights i found some on ebay but it says it wont fit on the dx any reason why

[gold94corolla]

uhhh.. no idea why it would say that. Post the Ebay link please.

[trife96]

which headlights? If they are the ones that take the H4 bulbs, then yes they won't fit with the US grill. The inside corners of the headlights are rounded as where the JDM are sharp corners come to a point. Also some rewiring will have to be done to make the lights work

[jklncep]

i think it is those ur talkin about well here is the link to the headlights if it is please let me know what to do to make them work if possible thanks

yap, thats what I have on mine. Here is when I searched the topic a long time back. I think this will help

AE101 Headlight Conversion

You will need a different grill by the way, and the ones on Ebay will work but I don't like them too much.

[jklncep]

ok thanks ill read that and what grille would you insist i should get and will the ebay grilles bolt right on or need customizing and how would i go about looking up the grilles on ebay

[gold94corolla]

Yeah, those head lights are different, but I don't know why it would say that it doesn't fit the DX..... it either fits all US Corollas or not.

you need a grille shaped like this for those head lights



stock grille is shaped like this

also if someone can post the link to where i can buy the grille

[trife96]

Those grills are not real easy to come by. Ebay has some cheapos that will fit, but will need painting and the Toyota emblem won't fit in them, which is why you see my car had that one at first with no emblem.

I think you need to take the time and read the link I posted. It's pretty self explanatory, The wiring diagram shows you what you need and how to wire them up. Also a big help and I do suggest to anyone doing this conversion is to buy a short pigtail harness for your H4 bulbs. This way you can simply unplug the connecter from the back of the bulb. And it will give you some wiring you can easily splice all your wires to it.

If you have no mechanical or electrical experience. Then I wouldn't suggest you try doing this without some help.

Some people have said they have there's wired with no relays, I don't see how, but whatever.

I suggest you get the relays from any parts store. I still have a part number of the ones I got from Advance Auto Parts.

BWD brand
Part #R3074Z or it might be V07303 or MR78. That is off the box they came in for me. I kept the box.

Or just tell them a plain 87/87A relay (2 each)
