But it worked no problems. And I installed these in -10 degree weather. lol... -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer 94 Celica st black DD (bad weather beater)- totaled deer 95 Celica gt silver- chassis sold 88 Celica All-Trac (Burned to a crisp) 94 Celica gt white (sold) In need of a rust free chassis!!!!

trdproven View Member Profile Enthusiast Joined Aug 2, '05 From Guam Currently Offline Reputation: 15 (100%)	I'll give you a solid recommendation. On ebay there is a seller called Intense HID. They sell kits from Tokyo, Japan. Real Deal. I got mine for 25.00 dollars. I got the 5000k ones and they are super bright and best visibility but like they said probably 6,000 to 8,000 are for looks. Plus they don't have those power and negative extra wires to bolt on. Plug and play for reals. -------------------- 94 Celica GT \|Toyota OEM Japan\|Toyota Racing Development\|Tom's\|Competition Clutch\|5Zigen\|Apexi\| \|Laille/Beatrush\|Magnecor\|Denso\|Royal Purple\|Optima\|PIAA\|PW JDM\|Megan Racing\|Nitto\| \|Work\|Greddy\|Samco\|Project Mu\|H&R\|Gates\|Moog\|Rota\|Yokohama\|Epman\|1320\|Upgr8 04 Celica GT \|Toyota OEM Japan\|Toyota Racing Development\|Tein\|BC Racing\|Greddy\| ~~89 Supra (Sold)~~ ~~90 Supra (Sold)~~

I know i can get the projector lenses JDM, but i can still use a bulb, why should i go HID -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore.

And people go ga-ga over them as well... IDK why... I'm rock'n stock w/ silver star bulbs and people always ask me where i got my HID's at -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!! D-man FTW!

It's well-written, clear and precise without being overly technical.
