I just received my Mod express hid kit, now I need to find out how to install it. I have the relay to go with my kit. I have a 2000 Camry with aftermarket halo lamps. Any help would be greatly appreciatied!!

retrofit some projectors and you'll be set. People will hate you on the road if you just install them without the anti-glare procedures you need to take.

I read that the glare wasn't bad with the 4.5 lens. But if I choose to go that route, how hard would it be to retrofit projectors? And which projectors would I need? Does anybody know how to install the mod express hid kit using the relay?

I know that in Gen 4's there is hardly any glare. not sure about the 4.5's tho.

I believe it's for a gen 4 or 4.5 I forgot. But yeah this video helped me install my HIDs

Thanks for the help. The installation guide that came with the kit says that you have to cut a bigger hole but it doesn't look like the guy in the video did that.

yep no problem and cut a bigger hole for what exactly?

Romero14 · 10-02-2009, 01:51 PM

For the new bulb to fit. I just sent the guy at Mod Express an email and he said the hole was optional so I'm not going to do that. I don't know what difference it would make either way though.

So how are the HIDs, i was thinking about it.

Romero14 · 10-05-2009, 08:41 PM

I installed the HIDs Saturday and they look great. I haven't been flashed yet.

u will soon lol

RU2CHKN · 10-05-2009, 11:28 PM

^Idk about that cuz the housing for the gen 4 camrys and the gen 1 solaras aren't that bad. My buddy had an 8000K HID kit in his 2001 Solara and they look great no glare at all

I know this is a late response, too busy with school these days. Got a 2000 camry le, is the installation easy? btw which HID kit did you get?

**PRINCESS PEACH** · 10-09-2009, 02:25 AM

any HID in reflector housing made for halogens will glare. period.

And as for glare, I believe some kits come with a glare shield so the glare won't be too bad
