I'm not singling out Dearhunter here (a lot of other people have made the same observation.)
But in my opinion the original shape scooby MY96? had the same headlights/grill as a H-reg corrolla. Is there a link?

Yes, saw this pic in a previous posting. I for one think they look really good and makes the car <I>much</I> more aggressive too. It just shows what a small change like this can do to a cars appearence.

Are those HID lights? £336.02 inc vat...??? sounds pretty cheep. Surely that's just for the light surrounds and not for the lights themselves...?


EDIT to say I think they actually look bette than the WRC ones. Now, where can I get a look at them in the flesh....

No they are not HID's and yes they do include the lamp units. One projector and one conventional lamp in each unit.

I'm not too impressed with the conversion myself
Personally I think that these light brows make the car much better looking
Gives it an agressive(ish)look like the old model..for a lot less money too I bet
Not sure where they are available from though
Anyone know ???
