3rd Generation Diy Camry Gen 3 Projectors Retrofit With Pics

It's Halloween, guess what ? I dont feel like being fooled around like a little kid at Knott scary farm, and Saw is not my favourite for saturday movie night either, so I spent time finishing my long long delayed project.

I ordered the Depo and Projectors around the same time on ebay, Depo package arrived within a week from canada while the other projectors from Japan took ~ 3 months to hit the coast. Should have paid more for the local

















































------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE !!!

Been off lately due to temporary lost of internet connection. Damn that was tough to survive in civillized world without either computer, phone or microwave, lol.

Anyways, what I'm telling will disappoint some of you, after a full week of testing, local and highway, day and night, under different kind of speed bumpers ... Those mounting are standing still !!!





The onlything I ever complain about is light out put, some what less than the stock headlight. I propably gonna start doing research on HID kits, and propably a DIY eye lids to finish them all off.

looks pretty good. keep us updated on how they work. im not so sure about the super glue's integrity with the constant extreme hot and cool cycles.

I thought about that too, but from what I've seen, the HID doesn't generate as much heat as the stock light bulbs. Beside, the glue i'm using was recommended by construction workers

Bigbird is right. That super glue will not hold up well against the extreme heat from the hid. I already tried it.

Nice job on the projectors.
