i dont think removing the front bumper is necessary for a bulb change. im just trying to confirm the bulb size before i order a set of HIDS i just read via a toyota PDF that the correct size is 9003.... i just was told for a second time that we just H4 size bulbs... im a tad confused here now...
can anyone who has actually changed out their lights to HIDS chime in to confirm the actual bulb size?

the stock headlights are fine. hids are lame and for blinding oncoming traffic. do it properly and do a projector retrofit.
either yourself or get someone to do it for you, pm thebarber he has kits and can do it for you. |

HIDS are not only for looks but also better visibility while driving. im not one of those people who put the ridiculous looking purple or blueish color ones on either. im one for more of an OEM looking white colored ones.

5000k? thinking about doing that too or something less like 4300k. It's a simple plug and play which I can do. I'm not so sure about taking my whole headlight assembly apart and sending it away... I still need it to drive!

I run with 6000k and their perfect because I dont like the blue to purpleish look.. Only with a tint of blue.
and you might have to remove the bumper a little to get to the screw to pull out the headlight unit unless your hands can fit behind the bulb but its much easier and less painful if you just remove the headlight. Thats what I had to do |
