3rd & 4th Generation (1992–1996 & 1997–2001)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 1992-1996 & 1997-2001
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
Hi everyone, i have a 97 Camry that i use form my everyday vehicle to and from work.. Ever since i was given the car (It was my Uncle Johnny's R.I.P.), i have always been dissapointed with the lack of light output on the headlights on the standard bulbs, and the lack of fog lights to compensate.
So now i dont want to put HID or anything in it, i read the other threads and there just over my head and i dont want to drop that much coin (my dad will think im nuts, especially when im spending all my cash to fix my other car, a 91 GTA)..
I went to autobarn and bough the SilverStar bulbs, which did give me a noticeable boost in light output, but i noticed the beam pattern the camry gives off is so strange that it just doesnt show off alot of light on the road..
So i guess im asking, is there clear reflector replacement housings for a 97? I tried to search and i think the answer is no, and if it is a no, what are my options if any?
Also, i had put foglights in the grille in the lower of the ar, they just fit, but there is nothing to hold them in there, i screwed them into the foam padding in there and unbelieveably they always stated, but rocks killed them.. What are my fog light options?
I like alot of light on teh car at night, good solid beam patterns.
no help unless you do the conversion to gen4.5 lights, search the diy if you are interested in that but it will require modification to pieces of the body. other than that maybe just try cleaning the lenses or buying new ones since yours are probably dirty, there are many diy's for cleaning lenses as well
which silver star did you get? i have the ultras and during summer nights or night time without rain/water or snow, it lights up the road pretty good.

I'm sorry SUB for getting in your threat but I have the same problem in my 98, but I just want to buy some bulbs but I don't know which one are the best. Anybody knows ???

i have the silver star ultras. 9006 for the low and 9005 for the highs. from what i have heard, its the brightest drop in replacement bulb as of right now without converting to HIDs.
