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.
The Gen6 Projectors are designed for a halogen bulb. Putting an HID kit in will increase light output. However, Do to the fact that the optics of the Halogen projector are designed for a halogen bulb, It is not designed to capture and throw the light out appropriatley from an HID bulb.
HID projectors are designed to capture the correct light, and throw it into the correct places. Comparing a HID kit in a Gen6 Camry, And say a TSX retro, it is unbelievable how much better the actual HID projector emits light.
Took me a while to type this, I got a new computer and it has a wierd fancy keyboard that im not used to, haha

yes, lighting would be brighter. make sure to read up on what others have done to make them more road friendly
it will depend on how you install the fog bulb
jsm - retrofit would be the only way to go, but sadly most just put in the plug and play kit and call it a day. atlease with the squirrel spotters covered the gen 6 camry with the plug and play kit wouldn't be as blinding to on coming traffic
Thats why im changing the game by selling my retros. Just had one satisfied customer with about 3 more on the way.

Now ive noticed the HID bulb on the right side if flickering a little. What can the problem be? Can it be because its farther away from the battery and its not getting inough or as much power?
If you didnt have a relay harness, That was your problem

I just ordered a relay kit, do you think that will fix my problem? Cause now the passenger side wont even come on.
I had that issue on my old car which had cheap $99 eBay HID's. The passenger side light would not turn on initially, and required me to flick the lights on and off a few times until they lit up.
Although I am having a slight flicker on the drivers side light with my Xtreme HID's, which have a relay harness. It's nothing major, although when I'm parked behind a car I can see that the top most of the output is flickering a bit.
me too guys sometimes my HID flicker should I put relays to each hid unit or for each side or for both of them ?
A dual relay harness would be better.

I dont think your problem is the bulb actually flickering. It seems from what your describing is that the poor quality of the xtreme bulbs is causing the bulb it self to wiggle a bit from engine vibrations causing it to appear to be flickering.

Let it be known I am the next customer.
When I get his retrofit I'll send my headlight to JSM1284.
For those of you in the SoCal area, if you have HID kit and have not cover the squirrel spotters you can swap my headlights (which already covered the squirrel spotters) for free before I send them to JSM1284.
