    What do you mean by textured? The housing is just a different color. The output is the same if not better.

    It's going to look good with my front lip. I'm planning to completely red out the inner taillights too to complete the look.

    My kit is a total mix and match. The lip I got is only for the 98-00 so I wouldn't fit yours. The side skirts are from the stock S corolla, and the rear lip pieces are TRD valences which was near impossible to acquire. My advice would be to get shyguy's 01-02 front lip and wait for the sides and rear unless you like shyguy's sides and rear.

    are your black headlight's corners clears or have that amber reflector on it?
    I brought mine over a year ago and the corners were clear but blacken. Now all the same ones I see on eBay are blacken with amber.

    The corners are smoked with amber reflectors. I actually like that look better. It's more like a factory option look alike. It's easy to change from the amber to the clear reflectors. Only the housings are black so if you melt the edges and swap the clear outside covers, they'll be clear reflector black corners. hehe

    And I'm still not home yet. I'll be back 2mor. LOL I will definitely install and take pics 2mor.

    hehe Having HIDs with these headlights is going to be sharp looking. Black during the day and arctic blue at night.

    No time to install though. I just got back tonight so all I have in are the corners. The headlights will have to wait till morning. I did put a nice fresh coat of wax over them though. I think I'm missing a few parts. I'll have to mix and match parts from the existing headlights to make it work. No worries though. Just minor obstacles.

    Installed

    I finished putting them in. I had to swap parts with the stock headlights since the aftermarket were missing some clips and the plastic headlight brackets were a lot flimsier than the stock brackets. It still took me a while to install after that even though I knew what I was doing. It took about 2 hours since I had to figure out which parts were interchangeable.
    Here's some pics of the finished product.

    These headlights make the output brighter by about 2 times. The black housing also reduces glare since of course there is less reflective surface. They do such a great job focusing the light on the road. I though I had 50W HIDs for a second. :D Those stock headlights were horrible at focusing the light. The parabolic lenses in the stock unit were just horrible.
