5th & 6th Generation (2002-2006 & 2007-2011)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 2002-2006 & 2007-2011
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
Okay, so I've been doing my research, but I still have some questions regarding the retrofit process on the Gen6.
First, are the only parts needed the projector, ballasts,and bulb?
And, if I do the retrofit, is the OEM bulb the best quality, or should I go with Xenendepot (I want 5000k or 6500K)?
Lastly, I'm looking into buying a set of rx330 Projectors and was wondering how they stack up to the S2000 and TSX projectors ( I think the S2000's are the best, but was still just wondering)...oh, and would the S2000 or RX330 fit in the Gen6?
Oh I lied, THIS is my last question(lol), how are the connections? Would I have to make any modifications for the new projector/ bulbs?
THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP GUYS!

Parts needed, Projectors, D2S bulbs, Ballasts, Relay harness.
S2000 is the best projector for output, will fit in gen6 housing with VERY extensive modification.
TSX is far more superior to the RX330. The RX 330 and TSX fit with moderate modification.
You will need to buy a relay harness that plugs into your stock headlight wiring so that you dont hack up the wires. Harness/Ballast/Bulb kits are available at xenondepot.com

So If I go with the TSX Projectors, would I need to get the 'Philips 4300k HID D2S Kit (XD-4k-D2S).' It says it would include the Bulbs, Ballasts, and Harness. Heres the website: http://www.xenondepot.com/product.php?product_id=75
And would I get the H11's?
Then all thats left is the relay...
And thanks again for all your help, You have NOOO idea how great it is!!!!!!
Agreed, the best ones are the Philips D2S bulbs and Philips ballast, last thing you want is low quality bulbs with a great retrofit.
The S2K ones are of course the best, but one of the harder ones to fit in the 07 housings.
The RX330 is much easier then the S2K ones, it's probably the easiest ones to fit of all. It is from the same Toyota family and most of the screws just line up pretty well. But the RX330 ones usually have a fresnel lense, which wouldn't give the clearest cutoff line.
The compromise is the TSX projectors, one of the top few ones, identical quality to TL projectors, except without Bi-Xenon, great cutoff lines. A few members including myself have done the TSX retrofit, not impossible, but does require some modification and fabrication of the housing itself.
Relays do work, after my retrofit with the Philips bulbs and ballast, sometimes only one light turned on, a relay solved that problem quickly.
