Hmph, take a reflector housing designed for a filament bulb and install a gas discharge bulb....think the beam pattern's going to be more than a bit off. Mind you, with the lousy DOT pattern the U.S. demands, who could tell?

That assumes, of course, you've altered the wiring harness enough to convert standard car power to the much different voltages required by HID...

the beam pattern is the same becuase the bulbs are the same size...9006...NO ADJUSTMENT of any kind is needed...but hey i don't care i like being the only one with HID's since everybody else thinks it's such a hard thing to do...just tryin to tell you it's nearly plug and play and since you don't have em in your car how would you know? another thing...HID's use 35watts compared to the 60-65 your factorys or aftermarkets use and actually burn cooler...again there is no danger whatsoever to your housings or harnesses....i've had em for over a year...a friend has em in his supra...another in his mr2...no adjustments...sorry for sounding like a dick, but it's really not that complex of a thing and people spread alot of fiction about em.

sorry. i'm just curious.. so you're using the HID kit with stock reflector housing? doesn't it glare at oncoming cars/cars in front of you?

because i thought this was why plug ang play HID kits were made illegal. because they kept blinding people and melting harnesses

i unno.. i while back i was reading a bit on HIDs and that was what i came to understand... was always told it's better to retrofit projectors than just using a kit

not sure if the illegal kits are AM kits while the ones that are ok are OEM kits?

do celica projectors work with HIDs?
