Gen 5.5 Camry Headlight Retro-Fits

Hey guys, i have Gen 5.5 Camry LE (2005). Im looking towards getting HID's, but i dont have the time or knowledge to retro-fit them myself. I cant find anyone locally to do it for me. Anyone on here that has already done the retro-fit once before, are willing to retro-fit the headlight housings for me? Im willing to pay for a set of SE headlights from ebay, and all supply costs and labor as long as its not a ton of money, and i will use paypal for secure payment. Or anyone know a legit site where they already have them reto-fitted for me to just buy and install? thanks

http://hidplanet.com/ there's tons of info regarding retrofit here. and I'm thinking it would be your best bet on trying to find someone local.

hidplanet.com also has a section where people offer services. When I got my retrofit done, including service ($400-450 from jsm1284), spare OEM headlights ($80), bulbs ($100 for 2 pairs), harness ($25), ballasts ($150) and shipping, it was almost $800-900 all said and done.

But selling my original headlights ($200) and stock projectors ($40), I was able to recoup some of the costs.

Not a ton of money? All depends on what your definition of "not a ton of money" means. It could be $200 or it could be $1000. But look on hidplanet for service, bulbs and ballast if you're looking to save money. Go to www.theretrofitsource.com for your harness

If you look at the sale section of the main forum, someone is selling TSX projectors - FS: Flawless TSX projectors

Also, if you do a search, I believe someone on the forum did a retrofit already

*EDIT* After searching for you....you posted this same question already and I told you where to go
Anyone doing HID retrofits to GEN 5 Headlights?
