| I have a pair of original headlights and headlight covers that came with the car. Was woundering if i should sell them or store them really. I have no idea how much they are worth or how rare the covers are :S | |

| I'd say keep them, like I did with the suspensions.... you never know when you'll need a backup! Like me, I always keep the OEM lights because I'm always messing with them, so I need the backups on the car while I'm working (like will be soon on the IS300 ) | |

| The covers can still be purchased brand new from Toyota (or at least they can be over here anyway), so they're not exactly rare, but they certainly come in handy. I had some a while ago and didn't like the look of them when they were fitted so I sold them, but when I recently purchased a brand new replacement set of BZ Touring headlights from Toyota there was no way in hell I was going on long trips without a set of headlight protectors because I'd probably cry if I got a stone chip on my new, shiny, expensive headlights, lol. So I use mine every time I go out of town now. Worth every cent just for the peace of mind alone | |

| Ooooo nice! Very subtle. Why not just leave it on all the time? | |

Thanks. They produce a bit of glare/reflection when fitted, so they take away from the overall beauty of my shiny new headlights . So around town I leave them off so that my headlights are seen in all of their glory, plus if I leave them on overnight and my car is outside for the night, condensation builds between the cover and the headlight, which takes a while to clear up on it's own. | |

| Yeah, the Euro corner lights are flat, the JDM ones have the bump on the sides. | |
