New Vehicle! (Non Mazda)

[-|CHECKMATE2012|-]

Hey guys, that rental 2011 Corolla rubbed off on me and we got a new Corolla LE! I need your help though, a couple of things I would like to do.

1) Tint the windows....where would I get that done? I know Audio Links is popular, are they close to Warden and 401 and do they do Corollas?

2) Install Xenon Headlights.... I honestly don't have a clue where to get this done, but I would like quality work - not the bootleg looking ones. (6000 K looks clean) Both Headlights and Fog lights.

3) Maybe add a spoiler, is there anyone that can do this for a reasonable price?

4) Rust Proofing - getting that done at Lakeshore Krown thanks to these forums.

Thanks!

2 or possibly 3rd Gen Mazda 3 is my next car on the list this year!!

I don't think corollas have a proper housing for HID's... Correct me if I'm wrong

I believe so, I noticed what was either a 2009 or 2010 Corolla using HID's and it completely changed the look of the car.

Definitely check if the headlights have halogen reflectors or projectors. If I recall, only the Camrys and up have projectors. I haven't seen many 11' Corollas on the street, so I can't comment on it yet, beside its a typical Toyota design

Unless you have a projector headlight, otherwise it won't look any goods other than blinding other cars. You'll need to install a set of projector on your headlight and refrotfit HID, go to HIDplanet if you have no clue what I'm saying.

Corolla is just a simple and normal car, any windows tinting company can do it. Odd question when you ask do they do Corollas.....

You may want to check out toyotanation.com the official Toyota forum, they may be able to help you.

I really really hope you don't install HIDs in that car. It's becoming a plague the aftermarket HID hack job. You'll have tons of light blinding everyone, tons lighting up the first 5 feet infront of the car and nothing before that because the light's all diffused. It's all look and nothing else like a pair of over augmented breasts which feels like tires pumped up to 50 psi.

I hear ya. These are not projector lamps there reflectors aimed at the ground - similar to that of a projector housing.

I'll try to get a picture of it, the reason I thought of it was because as I was driving I noticed the same corolla with HID Lights behind me - both fogs and Night lights were modified and it was not harming my vision any worse then regular lights. I wouldn't consider anything that would harm other drives on the road unlike the new BMW's and Benz's that aim the HID into your rear view mirror.


Would look something like this:


Im in no rush to do things still have some other stuff to do first! Plus the current lights seem bright enough
