ccfl projector work with hid? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hey guys not sure if this has been discussed before but I read the ccfl will not work with camrys with xenon hid. I wasn't sure if this meant camrys that came factory with hid. But my question is I have aftetmarket hid installed and was wondering if they would work with the ccfl projector headlights.

Thanks!!!

You cannot get factory-equipped Xenon headlights on Camry models in North America...

And what do you mean by CCFL? That will be too weak of an output source for headlights even if you found a way to make it work.

yes it will work, but projectors on the aftermarkets are crap and will cause a lot of glare with hids the ccfl are mainly for looks. JVX a big retrofitter came up with some cool mods to make them seem brighter for better cosmetic looks...

They arent CRAP but theyre not as good as stock :[ && there's no glare .. obviously unless you look directly into them

Wrong dude. U don't have to look "directly" at a light source for it to glare at you.

key word "HALO".
