Well i have a few extra headlights just laying around (2 drivers side and 1 passenger side) that i have no use for. Tried selling them but seems like no one is interested and im tired of looking at them. Any ideas of some things to do with them? Would love to open them up and try removing the orange reflector, however I have never opened up headlights before. Any tips or ideas on what I could do with these things?

How much do you want for them? I am a crazy person for having spare parts. If you're willing to let them go for little money, let me know on PM.

I still have a set of tail lights from my old Matrix in storage.

what else can you do w/ extra headlight other than selling them? ebay has been a great source for me to buy & sell used parts. fees we talking is pretty minimal..

there are numerous threads about how they bake them in the oven to take'em apart. maybe you should look into that..

Get a housing and install them on the roof of your car, when U do need extra light, turn them on.

Install them in the back too. LOL for backing up the car.

I would open them up and install angel eyes from these guys. Put it back together and see if it looks cool. If it does keep them. If not, cheap experiment.

Put strobe in there and put it in your basement with a disco ball.

BTW, there is a thread on Toyota Nation Forum with DIY on removing the headlight. They put it in the oven and stuff.

Before the GS, I had an s2000. I also had a 2nd pair of headlights so i decided to open them up and remove the amber side marker and change it to clear.

First I preheated my over to about 350 degrees. Put the headlights in for about 10 minutes until the glue heated up so I can pry the headlights apart. (you must wear gloves or you WILL burn your hands) Once i removed the amber and installed the clear I put the headlights back into the over so the glue can heat up again. Once it heated up i glued the headlights back together and used a sealent all around so that no moisture would get inside.

It worked. I was happy. Can't say its the same steps for the GS. But what i do recommend is painting the inside of the headlights the same as your car color. I think it would look good.

i thought about painting it but after looking at the headlight, not sure what could be painted so it doesnt look like crap and also cant paint too much because you dont wanna reduce the light output.

i think i'll open it up and do one with an angle eye and one with a strip led like the audis and see which one looks better.

I have always of wanted a projector foglight, but could not find the right parts for it...

Oh here is an idea, why don't you take out the projectors and the ballasts from the headlights and custom fit it into your foglights... then you would be the first 3gen GS with matching headlight/foglight!!!
