Does anyone know where I can get some high quality JDM headlights for my 98 Rolla but at a good price.

Also, this may seem like a dumb question. JDM headlights are legal right???

I am in So Cal.

Yes, they are legal. however, I don't recall, off hand, there being any significant difference between the JDM and the USDM Headlights. maybe I'm wrong but I don't think they're any different. If they are, then E-Bay might be your best bet, otherwise I'm not sure.

If you're talking about actual JDM ones from Toyota Japan, the light gets reflected towards the left instead of the right... IIRC, they use different bulbs too, so you'll have to convert your harness over as well.

yeah, i think he's talking about those single-housing diamond cut headlights. those things are so beautiful! You would need a grill from there too, and yeah, u need to convert your harness to I think H4.

dunno. he could be referring to this kinda, which is also labelled as "JDM"

02RSX90camry · 05-10-2005, 04:36 PM

true, but the single housing are real JDM, aren't they? or were tehy like taiwanese or something like that?

Wait.. I thought the 98 and up Corollas were different in Japan.. the japanese model of Corolla was totally different bodywise from the North american one.. therefore there is no such thing as JDM lights for them because they're not the same car, the north american model was made IN North america.

I think the Japanese model and the Euro model were the same, if so then the car looks like the old Corolla WRC cars.

doh! i was thinking 93-97.

u're correct ren69, tehy are completely different.

4Aaron GE · 05-10-2005, 10:23 PM

Mmph. I totally missed that too! Designengine, what do you mean by 'jdm' anyways?

(personally, I like the later Euro lights for that chassis)

***REN69*** · 05-11-2005, 02:06 AM

its the JDM fever.. everyone sees a japanese car and automatically think they can JDM-ize their shit! even if their car wasn't made in japan.

are you referring to the JDM Crystal headlights off the AE101 FX and the BZ-Touring versions?

I am talking about projection headlights with the JDM style. maybe with 2 circular light/shapes. you know one for the regular beam and one for the high beam.
I dont want the ones that come with the black housing around the actual light. So that way I can just get regular clear corners and dont have to find black corners.

Like the Scion TC headlights..

does anyone know where I can find something like that????

***REN69*** · 05-11-2005, 05:57 PM

I don't think they make them for that model.
