I am planning on getting some Xenon headlights for my '97 Camry off of eBay soon. As far as I can tell, there are 3 or 4 different people who have the headlights that fit my car (9003). They range from $7-$20. Can any of you recommend which ones i should buy?

Why do you say the Xenon lights are a waste of money?
I just buy mine at local import shops.. The ones I got are Tucan Industries.. look kick ass.. I have been side by side with Mercedes cars at night and they are the EXACT same colour... just not nearly as bright intesity wise
I love my lights! :p
$30 for fake VS $1000 + for real... yo do the math
Xeon is an inert gas. The REAL HIDs have no fillament, instead light is created my arcing (electrons jumping from electrode to electrode) They need a medium to travel in and they use xenon and some other inert gases.
The "Xenon" bubls u are talking about, are regular light bulbs tinted and maybe contains a little xenon. Since Xenon is part of the Halogen group, Halogen light bulbs may also contain this gas.
So For Real HID u need, 2 ballasts, 2 HID bulbs and a fitment kit for your car......and i don't know anywhere that sells it for 20 dollars.

No fake "HID" will ever become close to looking like a real HID system.

Because they're tinted bulbs and most of them are over wattage which could melt your wiring not to mention reduce light output. The best option if you don't want real HID is get Philips blue vision or Sylvannia Silver Star. Or save your money and get real HID.
Two options, Sylvania Silverstars or real HID's. But real HID's are illegal if it is aftermarket. Sylvania silverstars are legal, DOT approved, however some states make it illegal.
Those extremely blue 'fast and furious' gayness halogen lights are illegal. They do nothing but make your lights blue.
But cops won't know unless if you drive a Gen2 or 3 with real HID's.

yea also true, in ontario canada u must have a headlamp cleaning system if u have HID.
4300K is the brightest HID. This is because the eye can pick up this colour of light the best

First of all NO FAKE "HID" will ever look like real HID's
Second of all $30 = 100watt bulbs which = Burnt harness and that = 100 on new harness
Third of all HID's "real ones" = $200 to $300 w/o projectors and $400 max with projectors.
