Please could somebody enlighten me on the difference between these two corolla 2003 models. One is mostly used by Banks in Nigeria.

Are the prices same?

Attached are the picture of the two cars.

I'm not into Toyota as a brand, but judging from the minor differences, I would say the one in the lower picture is a facelift model, which is what most manufacturers do for the run-out models, before a new model is introduced.

The one at the top is for the European and African market while the one below is the American spec.

Correct. The one below was never brought into Nigeria as new. All the units you see around are tokunbo imported from mostly US.

I don't know your corolla model but check the button on the inner mirror u will find it there. As per the price its not more than 1.7m for a 2007 model

The inner light switch is placed at the left side of the dash board, below the left AC vent. Just scroll the button up or down depends on the setting u want. If the light refuse to come on, check the bulb. I replaced mine for #30. Cheers.

Most definitely looks better and if such models are in Nigeria, I bet they are few thus enjoying some exclusivity unlike the North American and Asian (purewater) versions that have flooded Nigerian roads.

We lay so much emphasis on American models thereby missing out on some Asian and European models with amazing designs.
Before buying my 2003 EOD I wanted to go for the EU model of same year as I find the design more appealing than their American counterpart which flood Nigerian roads but my problem was getting a specialist who can handle the conversion from RHD to LHD perfectly.

Just as toyota XV30's asian model (black colour) is much more upscale and luxurious than the XV30 american specs (white colour).
