ya just split them and take out the insides,there is i think 7 small screws to open and heat the lamp around the edge to make the seal easy to break

thanks very much for the info!!i will do that....give many points at the back with those clear lights !!

Just dont blame me if you break them

hahahaha!!no,no....i ve done it with the headlights ..i bake them in the kitchen to opened and smoked them ...so i think i have a chance to the rear to.......

Looks very nice joey! I love the subtle lip kit underneath and the red grille.

Got a fast photoshop done see how it would look lowered,think its time try find 60mm lowering springs or coilovers

That looks awesome!! Still planning to lower my car to about that height aswell, just haven't been able to find any coil springs that go low enough (without having to cut or compress them) so will probably end up going for coilovers.

Ya all i can get new is 45mm springs so will probably go for coilovers as having it that low could get annoying after a bit so be handy to lower or raise it as you want

Yeah coilovers would be the most sensible option. If you went lower than 45mm with coil springs you'd need to get your shocks shortened anyway, which is further expense. Plus going that low on coil springs would be pretty uncomfortable I'd imagine, so having an adjustable dampening setting on the coilovers would come in really handy as you'd be able to soften up the ride quality a lot. I'm leaning towards going for a set of BC Gold coilovers myself.

i agree with Scott. get coilovers! they will do you some justice. believe me. i have BC's on and they feel fantastic to me.

DId someone say BC coilovers????





lol.

coilovers is the best way my friend!! i also one day lowered to the max my k sports and it was awsome..looking perfect but in the high speed corners my tyre hitting the inside of my fender.... and in roads of greece isnt the best........

looks class

Got a spin in a corolla last week with 40mm springs and I gave up on the idea of buying coilovers or 60mm springs as i thought the dash was going fall out the car with rattling and banging so i finally decided today id fit the lowering springs that i bought a year ago.Went for an eibach pro kit as was told there very good.There expensive for just springs and are only a 30mm drop but cant get over how the car drives with them,no banging and feel nearly as comfortable as the standard ones so i'll be sticking with them ,not a massive sitting on the ground drop but it looks a lot better than it did with standard springs.
Here a few pics off the phone,i'll get better ones over the weekend.

looks alot better than before

Looks awesome Joey,that's great.....

Looking good!

Ride height looks good. Should get a bit bigger of a rim down eventually to fill out the arch.

I like those wheels! (and the rideheight)

Changed the wheels again,had these on it few years ago but suit it more now thats its lowered.i'll leave them on for the winter anyway.
Gave it a good goin over underneath with a power hose and cleaned the inner arches and inside splash guards and sideskirts.Also gave it few coats of polish and collinate wax before the winter weather starts.

great job joey,3e5 that's the colour every e10 should have:D    

love it
