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

[Jackass-Jeff]

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)

put me down for silver ones

[jbright]

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?

[TRD MCV20L]

They have black corners on ebay for Gen 1's

[jbright]

Duh, I feel stupid. NM what I said before. I just realized the corner bulbs are in the projectors! My bad. I am definitely in on this if the price is right!

[blksolara721]

Count me in too....depending if the price is under 200 geez

[jdsun1]

I just realized the corner bulbs are in the projectors!

I didnt realize this.

[djsaltine]

Also, what would everyone use for their corners with the black housing?

You could get the black corners someone sells on Ebay.

I'm down for this definity. Now I'll "have" to get a carbon fiber hood

OOps, didn't get far enough into the topic b4 I answered.

[SolaraGuy22]

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.

[FLASH]

In!

[SpeedSTARs]

I'm not sure how to answer your question but I think if you got projectors you won't need the HID mod. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Like Jon11582: if its under $250, count me in, beyond 250 - I'd have to wait it out - or see and be convinced!

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...
