So I really wonder - are the Corolla/Corolla Altis/Camry so boring to discuss or are the owners, or both? Seeing this thread made me happy and I thought to myself "Here's one chap who is enthusiastic about his Altis" |
I know what you mean. I think its mainly because of Corolla and Camry being deemed as a passenger car than a drivers car... so the crowd owning a corolla or camry are more of the sit back types than the creative enthu ones
I like my car (other than the hiccups I get once in a while)...and I plan to make the most of it
Thats right... in your face Civic Modders!!! **Throws fist up in the air** Quote:

I have to look into that. Quote:

It ensures most all round illumination of the road with as less light on the oncoming vehicles.
Also, please bear in mind the driver's side headlight is designed to have a short but wide beam whilst the co-driver's side headlight beam is designed to have a longer throw but shorter in width.
You can adjust the beam vertically (levelling) and horizontally (see the attached doc) but the beam pattern appears to be correct.
Wish you safe driving & hope you'd be considerate not to blind oncoming vehicles |
Wow...this is what I needed. I have been looking all over for some relevant information and found very little. This PDF sheds some more light on my lights =) They do say that the left Edge of the V should be laying on a horizontal line and the right edge should be pointing upwards. I think mine both are pointing upwards. I will have to check again.
Here are some more wicked pics of the rings in action. droooool.... =)
It was really tough trying to decide how these looked like before I bought them because I could not find any pics online of an Altis modded with projector lights and Halos...so here you go all future Altis modders... these are for you too! |
