Will these headlights fit my corolla?

Postby rolla_fxgt » Sat Jul 15, 2006 10:29 pm

I was searching a us aftermarket parts site & came across these headlights & thought they look kinda cool & was wondering if you guys think they'll fit my ae101 fxgt?
They're listed as fitting a 93-97 corolla & i assume the us version of the ae101 came out in 93.
Are the headlights for the ae101 all the same across models & nations?

Any help with these would be much appreciated

Looks like they will fit. Same mounting points, and the indicators look the same aswell.

How do you mean they'll point the wrong way?

If they are US spec then they'll be illegal over here. Park against a wall and look at your headlights on dip. They'll be a pattern like \_ Basically a flat like that slopes up and gives more like up to the left. Put some US ones in and they will go _/ and slope to the right, this blinding oncoming traffic and failing a warrent inspection for not focussing as they should.



EDIT - Example of LHD headlights

ah, right cheers lloyd.

i thought they just had to meet the us, eu, nz/au or jap standards to be legal in NZ. Why dont they put this on the lvvta website?

It is on the ltnz site, something about not blinding people coming the other way. Cant remember its exact wording.
