why no projector headlamp for Camry?

okay.. I still don't understand why no one makes projector headlamp for Camry? (other than custom made).. a lot of people buy Camry, a lot of people mod their Camry.. isn't there a potential market for it? I can find projector headlamp for Civic or Accord without a problem, I especially like those Halo projector headlamp look similar to the BMW ones.. and they sell those on eBay for about 200 US dollars or under.. Accord is also a family sedan.. why do people make more aftermarket part for it than Camry? just because it is a Honda??
btw.. I have a 2001 Camry.. does anyone knows where in the world I can possibly find thsoe halo projector headlamp for my car ?(besides custom made).. grealy appreciated!!

Supply and demand. People wanted them for Accords and Civics before they ever wanted them for Camrys. We're catching up though. Patience, grasshopper.

You could try looking for projectors at ctmotorsport.com; I know they're not for sale, but as far as I can recall, they were a project in the making.

"a lot of people buy Camry" = well, yes.

"a lot of people mod their Camry" = uh... no. just us geeks who are but a drop in the lake of Camry owners.

who are the majority of people that buy the Camry? young. impressionable, teens with mommy and daddy's money to spend?
"hey guys... i'm going to go buy my new car with my parents today. they said i can pick anything i want! guess what i'm getting.............. a Camry!" *wave of groans*

maybe this might happen in the future when Toyota advertisers start getting their act together with some effective ad campaigns. so by judging by their current effort... that will be never.

Heres some other picts I did...
Its basicly a whole front kit I was thinking of making, subtle yet agressive.
imho the projectors and the GT4 style fogs set off the whole thing
