I managed to take some pics of my Camry's projectors with HID's :smile: I must say I was impressed by the clean cut off and the nice spread of light the projector gave... it was 100% better than what I had before with the reflecors. Don't forget that I also have the D2R bulbs still...so just imagine the improvement if D2S bulbs were used instead! Up to this day, I still uncertain of what projectors I have, but I think I have ones from the Integra (not 100% sure). Here are the pics...enjoy :smile::




Also some night pictures of my Camry with the projectors:

I've always wanted to see how the beam pattern looks like. Thanks for the pics Tony!!! :grin:

So when you install the projectors, do you have to pay attention as to whether the lens is up side down? I think I read something about that.

Hahaha, you do have to pay attention to which side is up. All the projectors should have the shield (or the semi-circle looking shield) at the bottom portion of the projector. In my case, I learned that from the projectors I was using because it actually had the word "top" and "bottom" engraved on the projector capsule.

That's exactly what I mean. I thought about this for sometime already but I guess that make sense in order to get the right beam pattern, or else the projectors will act like pair of big shiny 18-wheeler fog lights.

Thanks for the comments :smile:

The light is aimed perfect...it's right below the driver's headrest if I drive behind others, and it's right below people's line of vision in the opposite side of traffic. Of course, lowered cars are the exception :smile:
