4th Generation New to Camry Modification and need some help

Hi

I have a 1997 Toyota Camry with the I-4 in it and I just stumbled across this website when I was looking for help in modifying my Camry. I was mainly looking for visual upgrades like Euro Style Taillights and an HID conversion kit and fog lamps. Where could I find stuff like this on the net and does anyone have any recommendation in terms of parts! Thanks in advance!

Wow thanks! I'm probably going to do a retrofit on my current lights; I saw the DIY forum for it and it looks to be doable. Either that or I'm gonna mod the body and put some gen4.5 lights in. Any one have any opinions on which way I should go? My only problem is that my alarm system is aftermarket and I don't have the remote! Now, I have to go find the alarm system in my car and figure out which model so I can get the new remotes for it.
