2002 Rolla headlights different?

[JDMprizm]

I saw a '02 Corolla on CarDomain and I pretty much eyegasmed... but I look at another '02 and the headlights make it... less attractive...

The fenders look different... so is the 9th gen Rolla's fenders interchangable?

Here are the cars...

The 9th gen you showed us isn't USDM. Looks like an E12 from Australia whereas ours are E13. Anyway, 8th and 9th gen fenders don't interchange, nor do the headlights.

Wow, look at the ground clearance on the first pic - that looks quite a bit taller than OEM. Definitely 4x4 territory there.

There isn't much wheel gap - the rim is too big. Could be 18s.

[fishexpo101]

Good point, could be even 20" ones or larger there - seeing as they are sporting the DUB edition banner on the windshield.

They are 20s, the owner left me a message on my cardomain. It doesnt look horrible, but 20s are too big for a corolla imo

In the first image, does anyone have any ideas as to how those headlights have been modded? Obviously the inside sections are painted out, but the actual lens looks like it has been tinted - am I imagining?

[RoachRolla]

the front of the car is in the shade. I've got the same headlights and they have that dark tinted look to them just like the ones in the pic you are referring to because parts of the housing are painted black. Its possible that the owner smoked them a bit. But I think thats the stupidest thing you can do because then you are cutting down on your light output.

What are those tires, like 15-series?
