Gen5 HID + projector headlight....HELP









Hi guys, just wondering can any one help me & give me some advise or opinion??

I was thinking to upgrade my Camry 2004 OEM headlight to Projector headlight + HID kit.
I checked the service manual & sylvania website found my low beam is HB4 but when I check my low beam harness it was H4,3 pin ??(HB4 should be come in 2 pin right?) PLease check the photo...

It's that neccesary HID kit have to be install into the projector headlight to avoid blinding people??

After install the HID + projector headlight the top of the light (GLARE)will be cutoff ?? (picture above)

I'm new here and hope some one can help me up give me an opinion.
Thank's

Putting an HID kit into those VERY LOW QUALITY projector lights will look very bad.

Do a RETRO

Therein lies the problem out of your own mouth. They are cheap and low quality!

As for retrofitting, it seems like u arent interested(capable?) of doing one. Go to HIDplanet.com and search their forums. you might be able to find a retrofitter that might be able to do it for you, but just a heads up, it will cost you a pretty penny(prob upwards of 600-700 all together)

cant you just retrofit those headlights that he want to use?

will 02-04 headlights fit an 05-06 camry? I kind of like that year's style more than the 05.

he can do that if he wants a beam pattern that is worse than OEM.

1. the build quality of those are sub par.
2. the projectors they use in there i believe take H11 bulbs which do not produce nearly as much light as stock bulbs do, plus he wants to put an HID kit on it which the halogen projectors are not made for.
