  1. Thanks for that Daryl. So the only way to really know if you have a AC HID kit is if it says on the Ballast itself?

    They don't really say. They would if they are up themselves in marketing etc, but otherwise you will be fine. If you read my post again (as I have edited it just then), you will see that most, if not all, are AC anyways.

    you are TOTALLY WRONG

    most of the HID kit on the ebay market is DC not AC unless they have stated as DC are at least half cheaper than AC and they still do the job until something happen a bit later. Your call. I have people come back with a DC ballast which is flickering all the time when you point your headlight to a wall or at the back of another car. However, you can actually tell if the ballast is DC sometimes by looking at the starter box. Some really cheap DC ballast do not have the back cover at the back of the starter box. I just threw a pair of DC ballast which I have taken off from a car. I will see if I can find one.

  2. We can get the lowest price If we buy the ballast & HID bulb separately.

    Here is just an example that I pick from ebay.

    Each 35W Slim Ballast for $8.87 x 2 = $17.74 delivered with 14 days warranty.

    A pair of 35W H7 4300k HID bulb for $10.20 delivered with lifetime warranty.

    Total price is $27.94

    The lowest price for a set of 35W H7 4300K Slim Ballast kit is $32.46 delivered with 12 months warranty.

    We could negotiate further discount if we have group buy.

    Sending the HID kit or faulty part back is not fun at all especially with the expensive shipping rate in Aus.

  3. is this the same guy?

    www.******australia.com

    he's having some EOFY sale 55 bux (checked site again today)

    im still talking to him to see how cheap he can go

    Nah it's not this person. The person i'm talking about is http://myworld.ebay.com.au/z-labs

    He won't have some temp and bulb shape in stock so he may have to order them in but most common ones are there.

    His HID is DC HID kit

  4. Nice work, am impressed by the redlines

    Am about to pickup a Build 1 Voodoo Blue, could you please tell me where / product names for - wheels, springs, tyre size please ?

    Also,

    what is the difference in handling ?

    what is the difference is ride feel ?

    PM me for more mate.....

    ride height is perfect as I need to fit snow chain somehow in winter so I cant go too low.....

    Ride feel and handling are pretty much the same.... which is good as I had enough in my Evo 8 LOL

  5. G'day...just spotted you on Springvale rd Nunawading...i was the idiot beside you in the silver Aurion that tooted/waved and smiled...you just frowned and drove off. :(

    i guess my Toyota is not modified enough to catch your attention. :P anyway your car looks good in motion,nice work.

    Oh Sorry.... as the car is too new still... there are a lot of people just staring on my car all the time and I start to feel a bit annoying... but sorry man LOL

    Thanks

    Saw you down Springvale Road last Wednesday too! I didn't wave 'cause I think it was your missus driving and thinking, she'd probably think I'm so crazy random mofo! LOL Anyway, does look awesome in the flesh mate.

    Peter.

    Thanks mate... Yeah it is my wife's car hehehe

  6. Yes those H7 bracket from BMW will fit it nicely as well for SOME HID kit out there.

    Im gonna chime in here..

    for the 07-09 (maybe 2010+) camrys and regards to that STOCK silver metal bracket your talking about which helps hold the bulb in place;

    not all HID bulbs will fit in there as easy as you made it out to be. Most wont even fit through that hole (i know my one didnt). if you didnt buy your HIDs from rukusG (but i recommend you do) and you find out the bulb doesnt fit through there this is what you need to do....

    What i had to do was buy a similar bracket as linked here http://cgi.ebay.com.au/2-x-BMW-H7-AUDI-USE-HID-XENON-BULB-HOLDER-ADAPTOR-/280517809174?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item41502a1416

    Note how there is an opening at the bottom of the picture of the H7 bulb adaptor which the stock one doesnt? Yes its for a BMW/audi but i made it work for the camry.

    Insert the bulb through there and then mount the bulb in. The adaptor is not an exact fit but all you need to do is fold the 2 tabs located at the back of the actual headlight which holds the bulb in place. Fold it enough so it holds your bmw/audi adaptor in place. One can put some rubber silicon around base of the bulb which has the bmw/audi adaptor around it so it doesnt move in the bmw/audi adaptor if one chooses. I just did this for an experiement and piece of mind but it should work fine without it.

    Ill post up what it looks like when i pop the hood to install my cai today or tomorrow.

    note; ive had this on for about a month now. my ride is stiff as im on coils and ridin low and there has been no issues in regards to the HID itself and the bmw/audi bracket i used.

  7. sorry man but the customer is beside me waiting for me to finish the job and go.

    I may try to find some pictures of the plug so I can show what is the metal piece look like. But i assume the people who has actually taken the bulb out will know what I mean.

    However, I can confirm CAMRY 2007+ can fit HID without any special plug or modification.

    Yo man, I got a 2010 Camry, will be very keen to but a set of HID on, waiting for your step by step photo tutorial man :o)

    Sorry man.... it was clients' car so I am not able to take some pictures anymore but if you have tried to pull your stock bulb out, you will get some better idea what I am refering to...

  9. Hi there. I have a customer enquiry about putting HID into his 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY ALTISE and i WAS thinking it will be easy. However, I still did some normal research before the guy drop by but I found out that people do not able to get HID into their car. The car is using H7 unlike most current Toyota like Rukus, Aurion which using H11. When I first saw the plug, I was thinking how the HID will fit. However it is quite easy. Here is some basic tips on how to get aftermarket HID kit into your belove Camry.

    1. First of all, you will need to take the plastic rubber out.
    2. Unplug the plug and you will see the halogen bulb is attached on it.
    3. Use a screwdriver to pull the halogen plug out.
    4. If you pay close attention to the plug, you will notice the silver metal thingy can actually seperate from the black plastic plug.
    5. You can now put your HID globe on the silver metal piece by running the HID plug and cable through the metal thingy.
    6. Put yout plug back into the headlight and use your fingers to lock the metal thingy onto the hole at the back of the headlight. The left hand side is actually a lot easier as there are a lot more rooomy compare to the right.
    7. Cut a small hole on the rubber cover and plug the +ve and -ve wires of the HID bulb into the plug. Please use voltage tester to check which one is +ve as both of the stock wires are in black color.
    8. Run all the wires through the small hole on the rubber cover and put the cover back in.
    9. Plug all the plugs and cable tie the ballast.

    You will now enjoy the HID on your Camry. Since the new camry has the projector, it looks really nice without blinding upcoming traffic at all.

    Here are a few of pictures to share. I hope admin will not delete my post.
