i bet you won't be able to find any projectors around the junk yard, unless someone is hooked u up. Anyway, you can get plenty of projectors from ebay or www.hidplanet.com . With gen 4.5 you should buy some projectors have diameter around 2.5" not 3", those 3" will give you trouble with shrouds. Also, you won't need bi-xenon projectors. I will recommend audi tt, s2000, bosch projectors. Hella will be big for your car. Ummm let's see, TL and fx45 will work too. Also, you will need a wiring hardness, and that will be custom made. Your hid project should cost around $500 to get it done. The other extra $500 you can give it to me

The best easy way for you to do is buy a pair of after market halo angel lights, which will cost you around $130 ( you will have to buy an extra pair anyway). The after market headlight already blacked out, and you only need to swap the hid projectors in. It's pretty easy, and you're lucky since your lenses are already clear My gen 4 was a pain in the ass to clear those lense and swap a bi-xenon projectors But good luck man, you project should be easy, and can be done in a day or 2.
P.S If you buy s2000 projectors, you will need Gen3 ballasts not Gen4. The others will be fine with gen 4 ballasts.

the only problem is that, that camry is a 2000-1, the camry he was talking about was on a 97-99, which the headlights and tail lights are alot different.
