Hi

Welcome to TN! I have a 2000 camry LE too. Is her camry a 4cyl or V6?

You can get sylvania silverstar 9006 and it will be alot brighter. But to do that conversion (9005 bulb into 9006 slot) it will be EVEN brighter. Try doing a search for it..type in 9005 conversion. oif you can't find it, PM me and i'll try to find the link for you

Ebay is always a good place to buy camry accessories.

you should invest in a Haynes manual. Any auto store should carry these. If you are not worried too much about the lights go with the regular 9006 sylvania silverstars. Dont worry about the conversion, although it is much brighter.

... btw the Haynes manual will be the best $15 you could ever spend on your girl...

4 cyl. = 5S-FE (engine code)

2000 Camry = gen 4


Heres a good write up about how to remove the gauge cluster and install indiglo gauges:

If you get a chance, read the Camry faq and ultimate Camry faq. Its got good info:
