Well technically for the high beams you could find a used set for cheap, as long as you go for a set that newer than 95 they will have a glass lens and generally look identical to the newer ones. I would recommend looking for 97-00 high beams.

For the headlights you are looking at around 125-150 each I believe, now I am not 100% sure but you can always call Steve at Carson Toyota and ask for a quote.

If you do a search, a few members have bought new headlights from the dealer and love them, you can see how much they paid and where they bought them from.

Wow. Thanks for everyone's help!

In response to SC300fives on cutting the wires. The 94 cables have 8 wires and the new ones have 12. It would be way to confusing considering half of the 94's wires are all turn signals.

In response to SClean4, I would LOVE to just paint the top of my 94's red. Problem is, about 1 year ago, some ******* hit and ran my Lexus. I ended up fixing the bumper but never had enough cash to swap out the taillights. I ended up manually molding it together with glue so it wouldn't burn out on me constantly. Ever since, it doesn't look sleek.

Does anyone know where I can get this 95-96 harness and how much they go for?
You all are so much more helpful than the other site. Thanks so much.

I am glad to see this thread flourish. If there are any local Chicago sub guys who have performed this conversion, please PM Natalie777. I think here car would look great with these newer tails. If the 94's were not cracked on one side, I would have done a red-out kit for her to rid the amber strip.
