Escort, if you were curious about trying my style, you could always surround the headlamp with some colored paper or electrical tape. Easy to remove of you don't like it.

What do you think? If someone is willing to send me at least one of each headlight for a kind of grafting, I would at least try it.
If I get them to work, you guys would be able to put in REAL HID.chris i had a left lamp i can send u i should have another right somewhere just need to look i do have a extra left one.

Chris -- I'm probably in if you can do this. I am noticing that only one bulb is used for highs and lows on that Corolla lamp, so with HIDs you'd lose your highs.

jlanger and ExDelayed, they do make headlight covers for pre 98 tours, go to www.spmotorsports.com and go to the accessories and you will find them

I still haven't aimed them after the accident, that would probably help. Just maybe a little.  :rolleyes:

ExDelayed, those are phat headlights(wiish they fit). But you got me thinking about getting round driving lights and making a housing to hold them.
The reason I bring this up is because I just bought some 4" round Blazer driving lights and the are incredibly bright. Now of to find a job so i can try it out.

I was digging through Hella's website awhile ago. They had some very nice 4" projector lamps. I never checked pricing though.
