    I've thought about it, but I just like doing custom 1-off's here and there.
    And I would have to make this my full time job..because as of right now I just tinker when I can.

    Winner. I got filler in my filler.
    Now it will make the shape of the headlight pop even more.

    I swear.. this camera and lighting. I suck at photography.

    Looks very reminiscent of the 4runner headlight shape. Pretty aggresive!

    Exactly! I don't know Toyota's reasoning for a dead spot/fake panel. Had it on the 2nd gen too. IMO, It takes away from the lines and shape of the headlight. Not anymore!

    Great work OP! I'm enjoying watching you work.

    I just got a new corolla and it has LED headlights with projectors. I really like how they light up and function between low and high beams. Any thoughts about using something like that? Or maybe making a 1 offset? :anonymous:

    Thanks. Yes, they are similar in function as the new 17+ Corolla headlights. (Bi-LED). Which can output High And Low in the same LED projector.
    THIS IS NOT THE SAME as throwing an LED H9/11/etc style bulb in your stock projectors.!
    So All 4 of mine will light up in highbeam mode. as well as lowbeam(cutoffs)

    I've said it before and I'll say it again... Mad scientist at work :thumbsup: if the Toyota design team had half a brain they would kidnap you and lock you up in their basement with a sketch pad and a 3 d printer.:yes:

    Left would give it a more aggressive look. Nice and subtle to the body lines.
