01 Solara questions, lots of them too. so please help

Ok well I know the bulb size for the headlights is 9003, and it uses the same bulb for both high and low beams. I have a 9006 HID kit in my Lexus right now, and was wondering if theres any way in hell a 9006 bulb would fit into a 9003 socket. Also what happens if I use my high beams? And does anyone know the 0-60 times for the V6 stick shift? and for the 4 cylinder? OH and where can i get that 7-piece TRD bodykit? Can I just go to Toyota and ask them for it?

you would need to rebase your hid bulbs for h4/9003 housing, it would be cheaper that route than rebasing the housing to accomodate 9006 bulbs. the rest of the info SEARCH!

how hard is it to rebase a bulb? do i just carve the base of it so that it fits into the housing? would i get glare?

If you're using the bulbs alone from the Lexus in the Toyota housing, there will be glare. "rebasing it" I have no clue. I want HID, but right now no money, so no clue hw to do.


0-60 for my 5S-FE is wicked slow. V-6, dont know... gotta search. Google has everything

7-piece kit... I don't think there is any around any more from either the dealership or from the manufacturer. Worth giving them a call to actually find out...
