Hey guys! I'm new to Toyota Nation, so please excuse any noob things I may say or write lol. Well recently, my father picked up my grandfathers 2002 Camry LE 4cyl 2.4L for me, and I'm already looking into trying to make it look better. I really would like to have a nicer, cleaner set of headlights, so I plan to replace the bulbs with high intensity ones. Do you guys have any tips for replacing them? I've googled my question many times, and haven't found any diagrams/walk throughs for it. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks guys!
Noobs make the thread alive, welcome to TN. Hehe..
As for the bulbs, if you get the tinted blue ones, it won't be as bright as the stock ones.
HID is the way to go if you want brightness and look. A retrofit is needed since you have reflector housings instead of projector lenses like the gen6.
If you're looking to replace the bulbs, stay with halogen and don't go HID unless you do a proper retrofit. Don't forget that if you pick a bulb with a blue tint (to make the light whiter) like Sylvania Silverstars, you'll scarifice some light output and bulb life. It does look nicer though.
If you're looking for subtle improvements -I changed my parking lights, interior lighting (map lights + dome light) and license plate lights to LEDs. Gives it a clean look.
Enjoy the "new" Camry! Stick around and read up, I'm sure you'll learn a lot here
dont go with HID's without a proper retrofit.. For your needs, I would either just get some GE Nighthawks from your local autoparts store or get some HIR's from ebay(these are much more expensive)
Exactly what I did -- it's fine, but I do like the HID projector look -- is there any way to get 9005 and 9006 sockets for HID projectors? I found a projector set online, but they take h1 bulbs and that wouldn't do...
