H.i.d. Kit / Retrofit / What Do !you! Reccomend???


Alright here's the issue at hand. I own a 2008 Camry SE and am ready to change the headlights and fog lights to HID's but im not sure who to order with or what temp to get. I also dont know the difference between regular HID's and "Retrofit" (i think 70's everytime i even say that".

Now i want a clean WHITE with maybe an ICE BLUE tint to my lighting, but I DO NOT WANT Blue, Purple, or Yellow lightng. SO... What do you recommend?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Hehe.. I love these HID threads. Keep 'em coming!

5000K HID H11 for best color output with blue tint.

I got mine from Xenon-Vision.com for under $200.

Oh yea, get the HID fogs, it'll help you see better at night...

I'll be banned.....

a hid retrofit is installing hid projectors from a vehicle that has HID's stock into a vehicle's headlights that does not have HID or even projectors as stock.

I recommend 4300K... that is the OEM temperature of cars that come with HID's. The blue that you see on those cars are from the way the light hits the shield in the projector... the beam pattern will be mostly white and have its cutoff edge tinted blue.
