Does anyone have any clue when they are coming out with JDM headlights for our cars?

They do not have JDm for our cars... Japan does not make the solara.

There was a topic on this a couple of months ago.. They dont have anything and i dont think any company would start making them. theres not enough interest in the public to have these produced.

The only type of headlights i've seen for the solara are all custom...

i have been trying for about a year 1/2 now trying to push for headers and big brakes kit. yet i have very few that are interested. if you think it not true then try to go talk an aftermarket company and see what they think about the solara market.

If they look good then there would be more interest in them.

Its not even about looking good, its a fact that the majority of the Camry/Solara community are cheap a$$es. Sure it might look good, but how many people would buy it? It seems that the only thing recently that has got our forum started up again was the Molly Designs group buy

Yes it is about looking good. Why would someone want to buy something that'll look ugly on their car. What mods do u have on ur solara that lets u say something like that anyway?

well not everyone are cheap a$$es.. only some that can't afford the parts. But its true that alot of ppls say they should have this and that for the solara. but the fact is that they dont see a profit in making the parts if no one will buy them.. Just like the altezzas.. some ppls like them some dont..

Whats to say the headlights aren't the same... it would be nice..but you already know not everyone has the same taste.. not everyones wishes are going to come true. I wanted projectors.. but i already know its not going to happen by looking at the market.

if you owned a company would you take the risk of making headlights for the solara and then no one buys them.. you would go bankrupted.. its not cheap to produce headlights either. They need a alot pf apporval and testing....

not just the headlights but any parts for ANY car.. its the same.. they are looking at marketing sales and profit...
