No bluer perfect the closes to OEM as u can get

 

Looks great!!! How do these compare to Sylvania silverstar and other h11 bulbs? I've never had HID's but I am considering switching. Also if I wanted to switch the Fog lights, would I just buy 2 kits?

 

 

Oh and the Camry was the ez install ever it took me less then 15 min

 

What model or part number did you get?

 

I ended up getting the above from the retrofit source. I got 35w in 5k with H11 harness and heavy duty relay.

I have DDM Tunning HID's in my accord and a few of my friends have it in their accords and Camrys now.

Great lights. Easily installation. Great price. A few of my other friends have the higher end HID's ( $75+)

The only real difference we saw between our $30 HID set and the $70 HID set was the light up time

The DDM HIDs took a bit longer to light up.



The reason why I think DDM sells them for so cheap is because they want to sell my volume. After seeing how cheap DDM's HIDs were I installed them in the sister's and girlfriend's cars. Great stuff.

 

Blu-tsx - Installing an HID kit on the new Camry is very easy to do. Because HID's are an option on the vehicle you don't need a relay harness and can power your bulbs/ballasts directly from your vehicle's stock harness. Your vehicle uses an H11 bulb meaning you will need an H11 HID kit.

I would not recommend going with a 55W HID kit as they tend to burn a lot hotter and produce a lot of glare. There is a reason why all vehicle's that come equipped with factory HID lights use 35w.

We actually just had one of our customer do a very nice write up on the XenonDepot HID kit. Have a look -

HIDs are not a US-spec option.

 

Thank you guys. Hope by next week, I can place on order for them. :0

 

Sorry guys. You are correct. Xtreme ballasts have a super low starting draw meaning that you can safely power the ballasts directly from the OEM wiring. You will also be able to use your "auto feature" without having any issues such as one light not igniting.

i installed a morimoto 35w 5K kit into my car. bought off TRS. i thought i read everything there is to know about installing HIDs into OEM projectors then i pulled the car out of the garage and was a bit surprise. read a bit more and find people call the square boxes on top of the beam "squirrel spotters." it's to light up road signs i believe.

the cutoff isn't what i hope for and i think they do glare and blind oncoming traffic. :headbang:

 

IIRC you're supposed to check the cutoff from 20 feet away (same method you used [against the garage door], just at a further distance). The car has pretty decent OEM projectors and I've always thought the cutoff is pretty decent.

 

don't get me wrong, they are decent...just a bit suprise how bright the "squirrel spotters" are. beam and cutoff are decent on the gen7. i'm not looking into modding the OEM housing projectors so adjusting the aim a bit lower may help. i suppose the "spotters" do have a function lighting up road signs. i'm just a noob with these hids. :lol:

 

DDM tuning HID kit $30 + shipping life time warranty on bulb and ballast, plug straight into 2012 I4XLE , no harness or whatsoever. The cut off seems to be decent, better than halogen so can't complain for $30. I would also recomemnd to adjust the head light down a bit to not blind incoming traffic, plus you can see better as well, since the stock setting adjust is really high.

I went back and order another H11 3000k kit for my fog-light, so waiting for that right now. If you are in a rush DDM Tuning kit is not for you, since they do takes a long time to shipped, from China that is.

 

was the install easy? Did you have to reverse the wires (polarity)? if so does the connector still work, or do you have to use electrical tape to hold it?

 

Why do people go with yellow fog lights? I'm new to this forum and car modding.
What's the reason?

I know yellow gives you more contrast.
But I never liked cars with yellow fogs and bright white headlights.
I would think the same colors would be the best looking and for use.

 

Personal preference. Although yellow fogs are the most effective if you ever actually have to use the fogs for their intended purpose.

 

White light sometimes prisms off the water particles in the fog. Yellow light generally cuts right through it. I have yellow fogs on my Toyota 4 runner and they work beautifully in fog and snow. I also like the way they look as well though.

Ah, that makes sense.

Im in southern California, so hardly ever see fog here.

No problem at all =)

 

Hello Spark HID affiliate.

Retail Price: $469.99 :lol::lol::lol::lol:

 

That's too much, I payed $480 for an entire retrofit, for the kit alone, that is just too much.

I have the FX-R 3.0 bi-xenon projectors, Morimoto ballasts, Phillips 85122+ bulbs, E46 Shroud, etc.
