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.
I'm planning to buy Aurion stock HID to install on my camry but I'm not sure if it can be installed on my car. Two bulbs and two ballasts cost $950 on the whole. Perhaps some Australian members can give me advice. Any ideas?

Do you have the Aurion or do you have a Camry like ours? Chances are the bulbs won't fit, and what you just described is what is included in a basic HID kit that you can buy here for $300-$450.
the camrys uses h7globes, but the housing of the h7s are connected to some other stuff, the aurion hids uses ds2globes fit. our highbeams are 9006 and foggies are h11, so we use different things.

So you still wouldn't be able to use the Aurion HID's as a plug 'n play kit, you would need to do a projector retrofit in order to make them work.
This is the dumbest HID thread I've seen in a long time.
Without a retrofit, there is no "good option." The fact remains is that you still have the stock halogen projectors. It doesn't matter which HIDs you get. Its stupid to waste so much money on a kit. For $585, you can do a complete retrofit.

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.

The Master has spoken. That's why I'm getting my retrofit from JSM1284.

Incase you are still wanting to go this route, you can buy H7 to D2S adapters. With the H7 adapters, the HID bulbs will correctly stay at the focus points and provide the correct beam pattern.
