    I know someone at my house that could use a set of quality capsules. It's up to you Toasty, take one for the team.

    The Camry's capsule is a little "taller" I guess.

    Here's my old 00 Camry beside my GP for a comparison.

    They don't even look close. The side by side helps a lot.

    The headlight capsules do. Just different size. Whats throwing it off is the corners on the Camry. They dont flow as well as the GP's.

    The corners are thowing it off and the degree of rise from the grille side to where they meet the corners.

    Perhaps something from an Austin Healey Bug-Eyed Sprite may be a little closer to a match.

    I've also noticed that late 90's/early 00's Dodge Caravans have similar looking headlights.
