Hi people,

I have a 95 Camry. I'm thinking of putting in hid headlights. What is the best one out there?

Thanks

i used to have them on my car, but i took it off as it was too BRIGHT and blinded all the oncoming traffics

I was using the 10,000K

6,000K should be fine for a car without projector headlights...

but then again i might be wrong....

from my point a view doesnt matter what brand it is at least its CHEAP

hehehe....

i'll let all the guys answer all your question.....(sorry but this is all i know)

10,000K XENON ON THE LEFT HEADLIGHT & 6,000K XENON ON THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT (Dont know why but if you see the 6,000K in REAL life its WHITE NOT GREEN)

talk to the guys over at hidplanet.net They game me a lot of info about doing my retro. The reason just putting hid bulbs into our headlights is so bad is cause of the glare that blinds everyone. read some info on their site, it will give you some good info as well as some brands to stay away from.

10000k and 6000k is the colour not how bright it is .... actualy 6000k is brighter than 10000k.

you will need to do a retrofit. it's not an easy task i'm doing it right now. hid is not something you can slap in and go for our cars. you HAVE to make projectors for them or else you'll blind everyone and not get all the lighting you pay for since it's killing everyone else.

Good luck.

Yes, you are wrong.

NO HID KIT IS GOOD! Period. And in the gen3 with textured headlights its going to be that much worse. You won't light the road worth shit. The only light will be going into oncoming traffic's eyes in the way of glare.

Not only that, but HID kits have shit reliability (especially cheap chinese kits) and there is no guarantee that you will find replacement parts because they are banned from importing kits into the US and shutting down these fraud companies.

Search. HIDplanet is your friend. Don't listen to advertisers they are selling ILLEGAL products.
