Projector Headlights for Gen 1-1.5 Solara Updated 22 May 05

Postby Jackass-Jeff » Thu May 12, 2005 7:14 pm

I'm down! Definately!! Black or Silver would be nice... JUST NO CF!!!!!!!~!@#$~!@!!!!

There are D2S and D2R projectors. One for halogen (doesn't matter what bulb) and one for HID... forgot which is for which...

The halogen one has the rear shield and lens very close together.

The HID one has the rear shield and lens separated to focus the beam.

Retail on the Corolla is $300 but that's the whole headlamp piece. We have 2 parts... so the retail may be $250... and then we can see how much they want to sell it for =P 20 sounds like a pretty good profit for the company (assuming $250/set)

If they are $150-$175, I'm in. Silver preferred.

Also, if they do it in black, are they going to do black corner's as well? Wouldn't that look kinda funny?

I'm so in on this. Either color will be fine with me. If it's under $250 like the others said that'll be great as well.

Q? do you have to swap out the projectors to make em HID's or the existing projectors would be good enough to be used in conjuction with D2r ior d2s's.


I'm pretty sure the projectors, or any aftermarket headlamps would be made to fit whatever the standard bulb is - H4/9003s for gen1. I dont think they would make it for d2r or d2s fitment since that would require some reharnessing of the wire to fit these bulbs, and additionally, you would not be able to use regular bulbs with it. If this is the case, you should still be able to use our standard lamps, or an HID kit fitted for H4/9003 fitment. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I cant imagine it being any other way.

They should make headlights for Gen1, since thats the most popular Solara up til now, with silver/chrome and black housing, and see where it goes from there.

Just curious - How many responses are they looking for?



Hey bro,
That sound about right... I think in the case of the headlamp assembly being a projector type, the HID bulbs might need to be switched to a D2S HID bulb. Hopefully the D2R is compatible without effecting the lighting performance... :D
