I found some eyelids for my camry sportivo that I can get from the U.S for $60 including postage.

Apparently because they are moulded to fit and extend further down the headlight, over the ridge, they dont lift.

Ummm I'm not really sure what you're getting at here.

Are you saying that because these eyelids cover more of the headlight they are going to attach to the headlight better than other eyelids??

Most eyelids are just attached with 3mm automotive double sided tape.

If they come with cheep double sided tape they are going to lift, if they come with quality proffesional double sided tape they will stick no matter how big or small they are.

Not really getting at anything. I know a few people who have lost their eyelids regardless of what they have stuck them down with short of locktight super glue. Whether they havent fitted them properly I dont know.

I actually said APPARENTLY they stay on better, I didnt say they did. I figured people whould give their opinions on what they thought. Whether they thought they would stay on better or whether they thought they looked ok. Guess I need to be more specific in what I type.

Oh sorry I wasn't intending to sound rude, I just wasn't sure of what point you where trying to make :)

I don't think the size would really make much difference in how well they stay fitted .

I love eyelids, makes the front end look a lot better with such a simple mod...

I've got some for mine, been sitting in my room for about 2 years now...

Still gotta open the packet and get them painted lol...

LOL...wow, 2 years. Im lucky to be able to wait 2 minutes to get something new on my car once i've bought it.

Yeh I love em too. You definately should get them on. Cant wait for mine to get here. :D

i think theyd look a tad silly on a gen 5, considering the lights are already tear-drop shaped

Cool..everyones entitled to their opinion. Be a pretty boring world if we all thought the same.

Also Wixy I had a look for the Gen 4 where im getting mine from but no luck. Sorry. :)

Yankee ebay always has em

Just be sure when ordering to get them for the gen4.5 because American gen4 have different headlights to us and there 4.5 is a closer match to our headlights.

They may need a little modifying to fit right.

They use that image head for all their listings of eyelids regardless of make model ect.

Towards the middle of the page theres a template image of what the Camry eyelids look like :)

man

i tell ya

the one time i want to purchase something overseas in u.s, our dollar decides to ***** itself by about 6cents. wot is going on!

bloody....

as soon as the rba announced there wasnt going to be a rate increase, greedy pricks o/s decide to pull out of AUD, which makes conversion weaker! arhg!

but anyway, i think i'll get the Polyurethane eyelids, seeing their alot less expensive, and ive got a white camry so i really dont need carbon fibre ones.

thanks for the link relish!

cheers

      Took the dust cover off, heart skipped a beat

      Not sure how many of the old guard are still around… fluids drained, fuel tank cleaned and lines purged, might be time to throw it into gear again.

      Need Advice please

      Suggest that you look at an online catalogue for struts/shock absorbers specifically for the Year and Model specification for your Camry. Easiest way to clean fuel injectors is to use a fuel additive together with decent quality fuel.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      For starters, you are referring to the BRAKE calipers. Missing bolts is highly probable that whoever last worked on the braking system did not properly tighten the bolts to the correct torque specification. Presumably, the brake pads were replaced approximately 6 months ago.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      Hi All, I have sent my car to a local mechanism shop as I heard a big scary clunk noise from the front left wheel part recently. And a huge surprise came back to me is, they told me that my break calipers has two bolts missing. I don’t think it is a common problem caused by daily routine driving. So really need to find out what was happened to that 2 bolts?! How lucky I was for driving nearly half a year without a tight break!! I even have kids on my car… can’t think more now. It’s terrifying 😱

      Engine Immobiliser

      Hi Chris, I would suggest getting a code scan as well mate as it could be something locking out the security starting process, and it may make tracking it down faster for you maybe worth the fee for a mobile mechanic who can do that for you as I doubt it will be a fuse or relay causing it sounds,like something in the security side of the process. I am sure if any others have ideas they will post it, these are just guesses on my part so I hope you get it sorted fast mate KAA

      Fuse boxes info

      I have a Toyota tarago 2002 acr30. I'm trying to find out where I can get the contents list of all the items in the fuse boxes. I think it has 4. I only have one cover in the engine bay fuse box. The other three have no information anywhere. Need to know what the items ( fuses, relays ) are for ?? If anyone can help would be a nights sleep for me..

      Rav4 Nightmare After Dodgy Mechanic

      Hey everyone, hope you're doing well! Unlike me and my Toyota, which is currently in a bit of a mess, haha. I'm reaching out for some help, feeling pretty desperate, to be honest. My 2013 Rav4 2AD-FTV Turbo Diesel is on the verge of being a total loss thanks to a dodgy mechanic who really messed things up. My car's was pristine, but then it blew the head gasket. I acted quickly, called up a mechanic recommended by a friend, and he towed my car away promising to assess the damage. He later reported that the engine was still in great shape but needed the head gasket reshaped to fix the issue. Weeks turned into months, and despite numerous promises and missed deadlines, my car remained in the shop. The mechanic stopped answering my calls or messages, and when I finally tracked down my car, it was sitting outside another workshop, unable to start. Cut to now, after seeking help from a reputable diesel specialist, they've replaced seals, checked compression, swapped injectors, and pretty much everything possible. But my car still struggles to idle, and they suspect the previous mechanic may have messed up something electronic or electrical. I'm at my wit's end. No auto electrician seems willing to touch it, fearing it's a money pit with no guarantee of success. It's incredibly frustrating, especially considering I may lose the car. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      Door seals - causing internal leak

      Hi experts need some help. I have a 2004 Sahara 100series. With all this rain we are having my car has started leaking. It was my father in laws car. It’s leaking water down the pillar trim where the handle is inside front seats onto the dash, down the side of airbag and glovebox and dripping from corner foot area where dash ends and onto the floor. I can see the seal on the roof above the door has a gap in it. Could this be it? 1Q. Who would I get to look at this? 2Q. Anyone had this issue before? 3Q. Where do I begin. Thanks in advance, Sarah IMG_3589.mov
