Has anyone done an HID conversion to their Celica? If you have, which kit did you use and how does the beam pattern look?

From what I've heard and been reading, as of August 15, 2003, HID's are illegal (or have been illegal) and vendors have been asked to cease and desist the sales of HID's.

These are just some letters sent out by NHTSA

Yeah, I know... this really sux. But hey, if you think you can get away with this like any other (illegal) mods, go for it. I know I would... depending on the modification. wink.gif
