It's not a quick or easy job, but the results are fantastic. Less heat to damage the projector housings long term, etc. The sharp cutoff to not blind oncoming traffic, with insane light output. The results are absolutely badass if you do it right, and do it well, as you will have experienced driving any modern car with excellent LED headlights. From there it's not a whole lot from doing an HID retrofit, with some wiring for the drivers for the LED bulbs. Unfortunately I can't find the link right now but if you do some digging, there is a company that sells brackets that will allow you to relatively easily retrofit the new projector housings into the existing headlight enclosure. Will take disassembly of the housings and retrofitting. So I think as soon as my wallet lets me, I'll go ahead with some TRS HID projectors and bulbs.For the best results you'll need to retrofit new projectors to get the sharp cutoff and badass beam pattern. Not as bad as HIDs in a non-projector halogen housing, but they'll still get people. Those rectangles are what is going to annoy other drivers. Not too shabby right? However, those two rectangles on top of the cutoff line are the "squirrel finders" TRSAndrew mentioned a few posts up. Here's a picture of how his beam pattern looks with HID bulbs inside a stock halogen projector. I found someone that did what I was thinking of doing, plus a bunch of other lighting stuff, in a 2015 Camry. I kept looking around and actually found some definitive answers on what would happen if I put HIDs in my stock halogen projectors. Right? Or would the bi-xenons work at the same time as my stock high beams? I'm assuming the bi-xenons, while in high beam mode, are about the same as the stock high beams? Or are they brighter than the stock high beams? Thanks again for the info. To get you started, here's a picture of my new Camry.Ĭlick to expand.So you're saying I could do these non-afs and keep my stock high beams, or do these bi-xenon and ditch my stock high beams. If you've put HID bulbs in halogen projectors, it would be really nice if you could share some pictures of how it turned out. ( Here, sixth review down) They said the cutoff was "laser-like" and it had "really uniform light distribution." So now I'm thinking either A) they're exaggerating and blinding other drivers or B) Sweet! It works, I won't blind anyone, and I'll be able to see tiny bugs on the road at night!ĭoes anyone with experience with this type of thing have any input/answers for me? I was on The Retrofit Source's website and I found a review where someone put HID bulbs into his 2015 Camry's stock halogen projectors. Does the quality of HID bulb have anything to do with these mixed results I'm seeing with these stock projectors? But I've also seen pictures and comments where people have done it and there's a semi-cutoff line with glare above this poor cutoff line and so-so light distribution. Light output and distribution seems to be good as well. I've seen pictures and comments on the interwebs that show/say its okay to do because projectors have the cutoff line, which prevents blinding other drivers. Does the same thing happen when you put an HID bulb in a halogen projector? I know that putting HID bulbs into a traditional, non-projector, headlight housing is bad news and that it essentially blinds everyone else. I know that I can put HID bulbs in the stock halogen projectors. I don't know if I can (or want to) give up TacomaWorld. I would have gone to a Camry or Toyota forum, but they're just not as good as Tacoma World.
