Trd Black Housing Headlights


Recommended Posts

hey folks ...

just wanted to show u guys some new changes to my IS (pics fresh after installation ... fingerprints & dirt still evident on the car!!)

installed a set of TRD black housing headlights..... notice there is a slight blue tinge to it ... its not the glass (so it does not affect the color of the beam itself ... to remain street legal!). Its actually, blue material that is refracted by the deflector. When I have my HIDs on, it doesnt show at all :P ...

I'll be showin some pics after i get my car cleaned, since I also got coilovers installed too (after much IS200SUV critizism ... hehe)...

hey guys ... thanx for the nice feedback!! B)

regarding ur questions:

Pip: the headlight housing costs around 200GBP for the pair at the TRD&TOMs shop in HK .... nothin much involved really, just needed to pull back the wheel well lining behind the bumper, loosen a couple of screws around the headlights, and it pops rite out. However, I had to sacrifice my electronic beam level adjuster (the stepper motor that is attached to the original headlights). There is a manual knob on the TRD ones.

MartinC: mine are black.

I'll take some closeups and post em later ...

hey hansc .... no, it doesnt come standard ... it comes standard on some import Altezzas from japan with the "neo" pkg.

Regarding the price, it really varies .... if you buy 2nd hand that came off an altezza, you are lookin at around USD380 (or you can get a new fibreglass version for about the same price) ..... if you buy a new PVC one from japan, you r looking at USD650 alone for the bumper (not painted) ..

.... then u have to dish out USD250 for the fog lights. You can go for the taiwanese made fogs which are around 20% of the price, but they tend to melt the housing after prolonged use.

I can give you their contacts, but I'm not sure if they would be willing to ship to the UK (also don't know if u can justify the cost).
