Headlight help!

So I just have a quick question guys...

I've been looking for some reflector headlights for a 95 Camry and I can't find anything but oem replacements.

I'm looking for my GF's mom so she can put HID's in her car. I'm quite familiar with HID's and headlights, but I can't find anything out there for a 95... Not even projectors.. I'm really looking for reflector housings though... Can anyone help me out?

Links? Prices? Pics?

No kidding eh? If you want to put HIDs in that car right, you have to do it custom. No one, that I know of makes drop in replacements.

Do not under any circumstances just put HIDs in your car without putting the proper optics in.

Haha... I had them in my 2000 Ranger without reflector housings and they were bright, yet also pissed people off lol... Didn't bother me though...

I just need the link to a reflector housing for the Gen 3.... If I can get a link to some reflector housings I can do the work from there... I don't want OEM replacements, Ones that look like these...

But for a Gen 3...

There are none that are made for the 95-96 (gen 3.5).

You have two options:
A) Custom make them from OEM headlights
B) Get DEPO clears for the 92-94 (gen 3), a gen 3 front grill, and trim the front bumber so that they'll fit.

It was an old truck... Don't get all ur panties in a bunch... Shit... I just wanted to know about the headlights and you guys get all butt hurt that I had HID's in my Ranger with no reflector or projector housings... I chose to lift my truck... I chose to put those lights in.. Just as you all chose to buy a CAR lower to the ground. Not my problem.

nobody is hating on you for wanting to mod your car or for anyone modding their cars no matter how unpopular of a car it is. the reason why you are receiving such a harsh reaction is because you show no respect or care for the well being of others by not caring if you blind other drivers

Well shit, don't look in the light... I took them outta the truck and put them in my new Ranger when I bought it and it did have REFLECTOR housings...

If I really didn't care about the well being of others on the road I'd have my 85w 6in PIAA's on... Those are right in a car's mirror... So I do care.

Just had some small questions about headlights and you had to turn it into something like this. Just too bad. Good luck modding your Camry. I'll figure it out.
