Does anyone know of any company that makes projector style replacement headlights for the 93-97 corolla? I'd really like to get something like that but I haven't had much luck finding any yet.

thanks

that's where i've been looking. they have them for all 98+ but for the 93-97 the closest thing is regular headlights with halos. the halos are kinda cool but the projector look is more what i want.

Make your own, thats what I did. used hellas 90mm projector housings and fabricated my own headlights.

Without the covers on.

The '98 headlights won't fit your car? Isn't the body style the same if you have a '97 corolla?

no, it's not. 98-00 was different.

There are some JDM-ish projectors which look pretty good and come with corners. The problem is they're only one light bulb and I don't know how that would work.

Then theres the Diamond-style regular and black halos.

They all pop up on Ebay from time to time.

There are OEM Projectors out there... They came on the AE101 Trueno... I am actually ringing around all of my contacts to hunt these down, possibly in the states too.

They looks mad nice. Again I don't know how you'd get the one-bulb set up to work though. If you figure out how to do it tell me, cause I might get some.

thespud · 10-07-2004, 07:51 PM

What do you mean by one bulb? It's a H3 with two filaments, plus the parker in the housing.

Ukrainian102 · 10-07-2004, 09:48 PM

So you're saying there should be no problem with wiring hooking up the one-bulb lights, even though the stock Corolla ones have separate highbeam and regular bulbs?

thespud · 10-08-2004, 01:55 AM

oh... US ones do. Everywhere else has the single H3 bulbs... which is why i was so puzzled as to why you were asking about the one bulb. But no, there should be no problem. Both will have a common earth, and a positive wire, so you just need to merge the two.
