^ that looks 10x better

 

i will be sure to post pics when i do my install. my lights come in on wednesday. does anyone know if these have ccfl or angel eyes for the parking lights or does it have the little bulbs at the bottom for the parking light.

 

The parking light (the little bulb)- 168/194
and the turn signal- 7440

are the exact same on the 08 from the 05-07's.

 

hmmm, retrofit for ccfl or angel eyes then?

 

i want a set now....dammit, time to save up

 

I found a picture of the Camry cutoffs for those interested. Original thread is here.

Apparently it's the same projector found in the MDX. Also note this is the stock projector with a HID kit.

 

Um ... ^^^ those look nice. But, aren't H11 bulbs the same as those HIR bulbs? JW, bc I really like the '08 projectors. Does anyone know what size the projector is?

 

Size??? What do you mean? The projector is the same size as the 07 head lights except it comes with an extra plastic piece on the bottom that can be removed. The low beam is H11. Uhh... does that help???

 

danmit.... posting pictures like this will make me spend four hundred bux buying the head lights! dont you know better then that!! lol, jk

 

Why are they so freaking expensive?? its just a bunch of black plastic with a nice lens in it. I think they should be $50 more than the old headlights

 

Here are pics of both head lights side by side.

they are a little expensive! unless the price drops down another 100 bux, i dont think ill be getting it *wink wink*

 

they aren't that bad. you have to remember a set of bmw headlights or something eqv with stock projectors is upwards of 700 bucks a pop. granted they come with HID's but this price isn't that bad

 

i guess you can make that argument... but think about it, we are talking about BMW, a luxury brand, compared to Scion, a (cheap) youth brand where cars are worth less then half of some of those new BMW's. But all in all, if they were $300, i would pull the trigger right now without hesitating!

 

Don't hold your breathe. I can tell you now that $300 is below cost.

 

hehe, can't blame me for trying...

josh, do you think toyota will be dropping prices on these lights soon? do they drop prices on their oem parts often?

 

oh for sure. they wont be 300 and i wouldn't expect them to ever be that cheap unless they're used.

projectors them selves are 100 bucks. these are better projectors then some out there. Think about it this way. A retrofit costs nearly 600 dollars in parts. You're getting that + headlights. 500 is a steal. i'd buy them but i'm still not sold on the design and i have materials to do a retrofit for cheapo

 

From what I have seen Toyota never drops prices on OEM parts all they do is go up every year. Remember they only have these lights for warranty and crash parts. They never intended for anyone to retro fit these into older cars. To be honest if they knew this was going on they would probablt raise the price of the lights. lol

 

in that case lets keep this to ourselves lol

 

yeah i don't expect this price to stay this low for the rest of the summer
