Question Souped-Up Headlights

Dear Forum Members,

Not that I've done much research, but I'm always thinking of inavating my 97' Camry. My lastest idea is to go for the Lexus bubble-eye headlamp look. So, economy is always a favorite word of mine. And with that known, where can I find a kit like that, that definitely sure to fit my ride at good price?

^^AE86 are H4....get an H4 sealed headlite conversion kit....get urself some PIAAs or Catz.....and much brighter then stock lighting...i'll show u the setup i have in my mr2 in the summer meets....using Catz H4 lights....a much cheaper alternative to HIDs...i paid under 250 CAD for this setup....i was looking into getting an H4 HID retrofit kit...but they were almost dbl in price...and with non projectors the beam pattern will not be as nice.....

=)

1.)Bright & on Avg last a lifetime of a car & color from White - Blue - Purple to chose = HID/projector lighting but that also = a bit of $$$$ as well as time (Catz can save to big bucks if considering this) !!

2.)Still bright & not usually last very long and not usually recommanded & still can choose your color & Risk to melt your wire and housing LoL = 80W+ bulb = why would you do that ? hehe

3.)As long as it is brighter than stock & change them approx every year & still can chose your color from yellow to purple = PIAA/Silverstar/After market ricer bulb /9006-9005 etc = that's what i use to have, happy with it hehe

4.)As long as i can see at night & change them when they burn out (3-4 yrs +) & yellowish white is your fav color & rather spend the $$$ to get a CAI or something = stock = most economic lol

I'd LOVE to get rid of my ae92 flip ups and go with a solid light setup.. using those Halo lights from like BMW's n what not.. That plus I'd love to use a set of those bubble tail-lights.. *sigh* If I had a welding unit I'd just get out the jigsaw n angle grinder and start doin some serious mod'ing.
