    Man, you guys are gonna kill me!

    Hey peeps, I'm a newb, and judging by my next question, you are all gonna see how I messed up.
    I have a 2002 Corolla, got into an accident, so I need to replace them. I bought replacements from ebay. Good deal...but...I bought the wrong ones. Actually mislabeled. It said 98-02. which I should have done more research! :( BAD ME!!!!
    I'm gonna try to return them, but if worst case scenario I'm stuck with them, is there a workaround for the single/dual beam headlight bulbs? Maybe some kind of wire harness adapter?
    I know, I know, I really messed up this time! :(
    My car must be ashamed to have me as its driver! lol

    Hey thanks for the reply! I matched up the headlights to the bumper and things just keep getting worse and worse. This sucks :(

    Maybe I'll try to resell them on ebay and try to recoup some money back and get the correct ones I need. GRRRR!!!!

    I think its more a question of shape 98-99 different from 2000 - 2002. Because that's what you crashed right? the headlights. You can always get around it by not hooking up high beams or connecting them in parallel so when you hit the high beams you double the juice... but i think that might burn out the bulbs fast. bigges thing is that its not the same shape compared to the hood and bumper

    edit... ok like always Vamp has a DIY for that kind of conversion, this is going from 98 to 2001 so just do it in reverse.
