Finished: Fogs, HID Headlights...more to come

Ok so you guys im having a little difficulty with the search function

I have a '09 camry le (gen 6 or 7 right?) but yea i want to install Fogs, HID headlights, and change out my interior lights to LED's.

First off HID's, TN has a whole bunch of threads on HID headlights as i saw when i searched it, but i narrowed it down to two and just wanted opinions

ddmtuning or mod-express? im giong with something 4000k - 5000k 35w


next off Fogs, so many questions
Is mine prewired? i just removed the covers, but i dont see any dangling wires..but when i removed my drivers side cover, i see a wire but its conneced to something..

difference between fog lights and projector foglights?

HID's or no?

go to toyota, go to paul, diy with switch? lol i saw a diy for fogs, but the pictures are x's so i cant see anything...



last off leds,

Im trying to change the hvac and radio colors, however im stuck on how to remove it...i think im almost there

removed the moldings on the sides of the storage beneath the hvac >> unscrewed the screws on both sides >>> removed the cover of the shifter >> and than im stuck lol...

if you guys can help, bigh thankks, and please i know for some reason ppl keeps saying you can search it you can search it. I've been searching for the last couple days and i cant find what i need (and when i do, pictures are expired ) but anyways, maybe its just how i phrase what im looking for...any helps would be great.

oh and ps, anyone in georgia near say atlanta, want to help me out? XD im new to all this modding and wires and soldering and stuff and really dont want to F*** my car...

Both are pretty good. I'd go w/ DDMtuning though. I've heard a lot of good things about them. go with 5000K. Don't forget to cover your squirrels. lmao.

Going to toyota for fogs will cost you an arm and a leg. I've had my fogs from Advance for over a year and still going strong.

Your fogs are NOT prewired. Sorry

I'm going to let DCEM chime in about the hvacs, because thats where my knowledge ends lol. Good luck buddy! PM me if you have any other questions.

Ultimate Retrofit thread/hid thread.

both are good and known. its based on which gives you a better price. Going with HID, #1 rule COVER YOUR SQUIRREL SPOTTERS. This requires you to take out your headlights from the car, using JBWeld and aluminum from a soda can to cover up an opening inside the headlight. Link above should have link to what it is and how to do it.

Not doing so, you'll be blinding other drivers in front of you and cars coming from the other side. If you got the money, do it correctly and get it retrofitted. Link and info is all in that link above.

No its not prewired. If your car was never meant to come with fogs, why would it come prewired? You will have to install a switch unless you're going to change your steering wheel column with a stalk for fog light.

People will tell you NO to hids in fogs.

Are you stuck at removing the unit itself? Contact netforcer or anyone who has done it by looking at the thread

two of your questions can be semi-answered with 2 of the stickies above.

Here is how to remove the unit

Radio, Door Panel, Rear Deck & Tweeter removal for CE, LE, SE & XLE DIY; 56k Beware

The LEDs themselves are blue. The caps are green. If you want to change the blue LEDs, you'll have to desolder them and resolder the colors you want.

For a car that is built in Kentucky where US cars dont have it all, I highly doubt it. If the car was built in Japan, maybe.
