My 2005 Corolla LE

I really want HID lights without paying the premium price. What can give me the look without buying the kit? You know the european look like the luxury cars have. the blueish hue for the headlights?

Anyone have any suggestions on what I can buy? I bought some online but it still not got that look. I'm worried I might just have to buy the actual HID kit, but there has to be a cheaper way to do it?

Car's name is Streak.

No comments?

I thought someone would be able to give good advice about the question about the headlights?

HID's aren't that expensive. A pair of piaa's will run you a good 85 CND. You can get blueish HID's for 130. I have them installed on my 08 camry. I can take a couple photos if you're interested.

Just get an HID kit, they're not too expensive. If you still don't want HID's, you can get Sylvania Silverstars. I have some but they don't last very long and the color starts to fade over time.

How long have you had them? The ones that I got have a blue tint on the glass that fades after awhile. How much did you pay for the ultras?
