Headlight Choices, Amazon Options between $60 and $120

[Judge2]

1995 Red Car is new to me, and everything is stock, and will largely stay that way. I prefer reliable to performance or show, but if a small upgrade makes sense, I wouldn't stay stock just for tradition.

Here is the sixty dollar pair.

Should I be persuaded to go for the higher priced one. Will it require different bulbs. Will either avoid yellowing better. What else should I know?

The first ones are non-oem replacements, they will be your best bet if you want to keep your car with a stock look.

The second ones are an aftermarket headlight, which is why they are more expensive, based on the description you will not need new bulbs. I'd say these would stay longer without getting yellow. But other people can feel free to chyme in on that.

I just got a set like your second choice WITH marker lights and new bulbs included for the same money. The stock lights suck because they haze up so badly, so I went with a clear lens. Lets see how aftermarket does.

Both of those choices use the stock lamps.

rockauto has some for ~$30, works great.

I've once had the second set before my car had a front end accident. I remember them working very well and never once did I feel a need to upgrade my bulbs or improve the light output with those. For 3 years they never yellowed or fogged up. They use the same bulbs that the original headlights use.

Does anybody know if the aftermarket centerpiece tail light will directly bolt in or do I need to do some wiring to connect it? I dont have my car right now so I cant look to see if there are wires running to the center tail light.

I want a complete aftermarket tail light set (smoked) for my 97 corolla DX (north american). I found these but says for 93-95 in the title but then it says it fits a 97.

I actually just now read in the item description that it says easy installation: plug and play so must be a wire with a connector plug already running to the center piece in the trunk

In the link, you see how there is a pic of 2 red circles lit up? That's the center piece. It is not plug and play if you want it to light up. You'll have to run your own wires through the trunk to the tail lights. They are not very bright, especially once they are smoked, so I wouldn't bother. Otherwise, they should be a simple bolt on. I got these in chrome for my Corolla back in 2005 lol.

[Corolla Sound]

Aww, that sucks lol.. hmm, I may still get them as long as the main tail lights work. I like the smoked look and think it will look better on my green corolla. I also want smoked headlights and front bumper lights. Unfortunately the smoked headlights will probably decrease my night time visibility, but it would look sick! Thanks for the tip

[gold94corolla]

Hey! Don't get smoked lights... get the black ones instead! The ones that have a black inside, rather than a dark lens. You don't want your tail lights to be hard to see! And that will look better IMO. Especially on green.

[Sgt_Lyna]

I concur...

[Corolla Sound]

That sounds like a much better idea! I didnt know you could get them with the black on the inside. Thanks again.

Yes you can

[Corolla Sound]

Sweet! I want those! The only thing I don't like is that bump or whatever it is on the center trunk piece. I think it would look better if it was all flat and smooth

[gold94corolla]

The bump? They are perfectly smooth and match the shape of the tail lights.

[gold94corolla]

Oh, and I didn't say it earlier, but don't get smoked front lights, either... you can also get those in black! I love lights lol
