LOL you gotta love all the "xenon" bulbs on eBay that are sold without a ballast or igniter (usually integrated).

Speaking of LED high beam solutions...consider it this way: if you don't yet see LED headlights on high end German automobiles then chances are that you're not going to find any such aftermarket mod for the Camry.

The Audi R8 has LED high/low beam lights as an option, the new V10 powered R8 comes standard with LED headlamps.

That's a totally Ferrari-level niche supercar. I'm talking seeing LED headlights on A8s and A6s. BMW was the first mass user of xenon lights on their old E38 7-series sedan and then they trickled down to the E39 5-series as an option (same projector was used). Acura also put them in early TL sedans with reflector housings. It wasn't until about 1999 that you could find xenons as an option on mid-range models.

Therefore I think we need to see the same trend with LED.

It's just a matter of time.
