what u mean is custom painted headlights.

cannot do diy as it is hard and possibility of breaking ur headlights is high

i heard people put their headlights in oven for a while to loosen the seals to open (hence why possibility of break is so high)

Look around in yellowpages i guess... usually this job is done for 300-500 bux and if ur lucky maybe cost u more, good luck.

fine fine i make it more neat.

buy headlight cover from toyota.

buy spray tint, tint inside of headlights,

slap em on.

i dont think u can do this after u get ur eyelids tho :P

cops will give u heaps of **** but just take it off i suppose.

beter then tinting your real headlights then u cant reverse that.

i saw this mod on the sp23 the red one it was awsome.

or you could just leave steve alone... ive wanted to see a corolla with tinted headlights for a while, and i have no idea about the problems you can face with tinting your headlights(except cop trouble)... these sites exist so people can LEARN, not get flamed for trying to boost their knowledge... you could have made your little suggestion about headlight covers and NOT told him he was stupid for asking.

get a life. and learn to spell. and learn to use some punctuation every once in a while.

you go tom!

besides, i think u missed the point completely vyets...

he doesnt want the front of the headlights tinted, he wants the inside of the headlights tinted, like pippy did.

pippys headlight

very possible to do steve, but difficult, throw pippy a PM and see if he can give u some advice (unless i missed the point and this isnt what u wanted lol)

i did it a few nights ago, sprayed some of the inside bits black, DIY yo! took about 2.5 hours all up to do, looks a bit meaner, but i didnt spray much of it, havent done the other side yet, but looks meaner :) :)

used a heat gun to seperate the light, when i was doing it i was thinkg damn, time to go wreckers for a new headlight, but it turned out! need to silicon it up though!

pete i reckon cos you have chrome tail lights, you should keep your head lights chromed up too... especially with the white wheels... i really like the way your car is red and highlighted in white/chrome all over the place...

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.
