Gen6 My 07 Camry TSX Retrofit: Finished Results *Pictures Intensive*

Original thread: http://toyotanation.com/forum/t202883.html

2007 Toyota Camry SE V6
TSX Projectors
Philips 85122+ D2S Bulbs
Philips LVQ 212 Ballast

This was a pretty long process in finishing it all. I didn't need the help of my spare headlamp, so it wasn't required. If I were to do this all over again, we could probably finish in about 10 hours, while this took the span of 2 weeks with a buncha off days.

The housing itself was modded into, the TSX projector was modded into as well. I now have an extra set of Camry stock halogen projectors, anyone interested?

My car has 3000K Nokya H11 bulbs for fogs.















Here's a comparsion: The car on the right is a GS300 with 5000K HIDs in a reflector housing:



Next: Light-up Door Sills.

Can stock headlights' aim be adjusted? Don't see anything in the owners manual about this and haven't attempted to disassemble the car to find an adjusting point.

Yes, all headlights ahould be adjustable, usually a long screw or threaded rod at the top or bottom and on one of the sides to aim.

Very nice. I love that cut off line from the TSX.
Can you take a picture during the day, I want to see how the TSX sit inside your housing.
Thanks! Job well done.

Well that ground wasn't exactly level, thats why there's a lot of light on the ground in front of the car.

If you compare it to the car next to mine, his focal points frmo his reflector housing are very similar to mine, so they should be fairly level.

The only thing I'm missing is sealing up the back of the housing, I used the factory black rubber thing but it still isn't completely sealed well.

I also didn't do the color mod, thats why you don't see too much blue, but then that picture is around 25ft away.

Nice...but i have to say..there seems something odd with the cutoff...like somethign is rotated quite enough on the right projector. IT seems as if the right one is rotated a bit much in the clockwise direction. Other than that...good work...glad to see more retro'd camrys out there.
