as long as you realise HIDs are illegal if not properly installed with projector lenses.

If they are installed with standard reflectors they just scatter more light and are more dazzling to oncoming traffic and in people's rear vision mirror. They also do not project light as far as more light is scattered.

The choice is entirely up to you, but I've heard that the po-po are starting to crack down on the use of HIDs that aren't properly installed and do you really want to draw any more unwanted attention to yourself?

I have GTHID 4300K. These give off a light similar to the stock colour. But when you look at them directly they are white.

Just make sure you aim the light downwards so not to blind oncoming traffic. HIDs are very bright and the difference in night time driving is like night and day. When i first got them and didnt adjust them, I was high beamed numerous times at night, but after adjusting i have never got flashed by high beams anymore.

The only way to really make them legal is to retro fit - This is basically chopping your lights up and adding the projector from another light ( Correct me if im wrong )

As to having them without projectors - I have mine aimed all the way down, basically as far as it goes, and i still get flashed on avg once a week.

They are nice for you, the driver, but for other people, they cant see squat

If you wanna go for HID, make sure they are well known brand HIDz (Catz, Beam Boy, Bosch Ultra (normal Bosch are ****)... + make sure the installer know's their electrical.. Otherwise, they'll f*#& up your car..

Be warn, those HID's are expensive ($400+ depends on brand and 'k' + the "ballast" output)

Just make sure you research the brand + it' quality before buy...

like MR22ZZ said; HIDs are illegal, use it with caution... :rolleyes:

note that Diamond visions dont have a very long life, so watch out. prob only last 6-15 months before atleast 1 blows.

Diamond Vision 5000K is the way to go. Legal and bright :toast:

agreed... and at ~$70 a damn sight cheaper too ;)

cheap, legal and brighter then stock globes..

do they scatter the way HIDs do? are these just direct replacement for stock bulbs?

My GF had replacement bulbs, and they seemed to just Glare, rather then produce useable light.

Usually the cheap ones are crap, phillips are generally produce a decent enough light. But yeah the whiter you go the less you see.

All 3 cars in our family has been using these for almost 3 years now, none had any problems. Maybe you installed them incorrectly :wacko:

No. Yes.

      Can I put a 2010 bumper on my 2008 Camry ?

      I have a 2008 Camry altise and recently damaged the front bumper and i'm wondering if I can fit a 2010 sportivo bumper on to replace it. It looks like it fits I know I will need to get new headlights for it to fit but do I need to do any modifications or will all the plastic clips and screws line up ?

      am2 fuse blowing

      Hello, i have a 1996 starlet The problem is when i turn the key the fuse blows, and i have been looking over the wiring and can’t find any shorts or damaged wire. The car would not crank over because of the fise blowing. I found out that if i disconnect the transponder key ecu the fuse is holding, but as soon as i connect the transponder the fuse blows. So i wonder if there is something I can try out? should i just buy a new transponder box or is it something else i could try? and is it not kinda wierd that the box is the problem? I have looked inside the box and cant see any corrosion in the box

      Toyota Celica '96 5S-FE no spark

      Hi everyone, I have spent too much time on my Celica and even my mechanic is stumped at figuring out the issue so any tips will be appreciated. Here is what has been done, immobiliser disbabled, distributor replaced, igniter replaced, EFI relay replaced, and EFI 15AMP fuse is not blown. I tried jumping E1 and TE1 in the diagnostic port to try and get a code from the CEL but it doesn't light up, I think it might be burned out so I will have to get on that. I am now clueless about what to do next, it could be the ECU but I can't find any pointers too that.
