hey guys i read around a bit in these forums, people say the headlights on a 06 will fit 03 models, so im just wondering will the back lights also fit? Also what would be the price be for a set of 06 headlights (labour not included) and what the cost would be to place them in by a pro?

anyone got any direct comparison pics of 03 and 06 headlights and back lights they could post up, i've googled but no dice.

06 headlights have projector lenses for the main beam. They are slightly rearranged, the vertical strip doesnt light up.

Very nice upgrade but they are NOT cheap. Expect about $1,000.

Tail lights on the 06 model are, well, not flat. Check out this one on carsales.

i like the vertical light up on the 03 though the look of the 06 lights overall look better but i dont think id waste my 1k on lights though...just me though others might and probably have.

ps awesome looking V there - love the wheels clean cut.

Thanks mate.

In person, the 2006 headlights look a lot better than the 2003 ones. I've had lots of comments about the car looking more modern with them.

But anyway, the main point of them is for the projector lenses so that you can use HIDs properly.. you can always do a retrofit like 350gtfrank

Also the tail lights on the 06 have a boot release button. Not sure if this can be connected up to 03 easily though?

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
