Mk1 Pre-facelift Black Headlight assemblies

[MrZardoz]

Almost made a big mistake in thinking the pre and post facelift headlight assemblies are the same shape!

 

I was looking at buying these for my 2008 Auris:

But noticed in the listing the year starting 2010. 

Had no luck sourcing headlights in this style (black plastic inner rather than all chrome) for my original shape.

Wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction before I order a 2nd set from a breakers to split open and spray myself.

AliExpress might help too, however 2010 are different from 2007-2009 models .

Well, there should be some on offer but since Auris it’s not highly modified car like evo 9 or supra there might not been made by companies, maybe worth checking Asian markets like Philippines, Taiwan and neighbouring countries eBay sites. 👍

Yeah, very true. Just annoying seeing that they’re out there but drawing blanks, searched for Corolla and Blade too to widen the search.

What you need to look for is Mk1 preface lift up to 2010

SR headlights as these were smoked instead of chrome

[MrZardoz]

Cheers Phil, that'll narrow down my search.

Although I'm pretty sure it'll be quicker for me to DIY a set of standard ones than track these down.

So close… I’ve recently found these. But no one has the drivers side in the same style! Valeo website no help either *sobs*
