New headlights

Hey guys,

I want to buy myself new headlights for my Yaris. Since almost nobody tunes anything other than Golf 2 in my country, i found only one store that sells parts for Yaris. There are a few products to chose between but i like these ones the most. Actually, as I've seen a few guys on forum have almost the same ones. They would look rly cool on my blazing blue Yaris.


The price is 250 euros. Is this price OK and are there any trusted online stores that you would recommend for me where I could maybe save some money?

One last thing. I know these headlights would fit my 2008 Yaris, but is there anything else i should watch considering compatibility. I mean, are headlights from all markets (America, EU, Japan etc.) the same, and would they fit my car?

Thanks a lot...

Its up to you if you wanna get them but I wouldn't. Because usually aftermarket headlights don't last too long. Well the leds and the halo portion won't last to long. And sometimes you might get one that has a gap and water might leak into.
If anything get the eyelids for your headlights.

I have those headlights and actually all day today ive deemed it "headlight restoration day"

the clearcoat finish has effectively peeled off more than half way making them look like crap, moisture does get inside and the halos are farrr too dim to even be seen.

The angel eye leds however are great still but should be secured into their holes with some form of adhesive.

I've bought some headlight finishing polish, 1500 & 2000 grit sandpaper and some ribbon sealer from an auto parts store.

Ill also be adding the "audi style LED strip"

if you choose to buy them just make 200% sure they are sealed etc

One option is to retrofit projectors into your stock lights.

This headlights only cost about Us$300+ including delivery. All headlights from Depo(company that sell the headlights) has to put on additional sealant to seal it from water getting into it. Other than that, it works great.
