Halagon to HID headlites

Re: Halagon to HID headlites
O.K. Here is a sill question (probably repeated somewhere else) but what else would you expect from me ?
The headlights on the TCH are halogen, correct? So - without modifications - is there a brighter bulb out there than standard that is worthy of mention?
Now, Does anyone see the benefit of going into some other "system" for the lighting? I'm trying to get a subtle look to enhance the car but don't want to get it looking like "Cheech & Chongs" car from east L.A.
I like the brightness and the colors of the HID lights (from the blue to pink ranges) but dont know the better way to acheive this.
Any ideas? Thanks

kris,
Any suggestions on locating the kit? Looks like some may be less than desirable and if you have any experience or knowledge it would be appreciated.

Re: Halagon to HID headlites
The brand of kit you are looking for is a Denso ballast, made by Hella, and Philips bulbs. This will be a rebased kit because it will use a H11 bulb which fits the Camry's projectors. 4300K is the color, which is factory color, bright white with a hint of blue, and it gives the most light output. These quality kits can be found on ebay, or xenonking.com (use coupon code "xkgb") or from xenondepot.com.

A conversion kit done correctly will get you what you want but at a cost.

Re: Halagon to HID headlites
A number of years back I bought higher wattage bulbs from JC Whitney. I think they were 55W low and 85W high bulbs. They were quite a bit brighter as normal bulbs are 35W low and 55W high. The big problems were: everybody flashed me since my low beams were as bright as high beams, the lens started to discolor from the extra heat, and the worst part, the wiring to the bulbs started to melt due to the extra current drawn through it. That is the only way to get more light from a halogen, give it more voltage or run bulbs that can burn more watts at a given voltage. Overdriving halogen bulbs can produce a lot more light, but you shorten the life of the bulb considerably.
