you will need to get a HID kit as well since the light output on these using regular bulb is not good. and they change bulbs from H7 to H1 so your stock bulbs wont work on them.

You will be able to use the existing HID's but may have to move the wiring a bit since the lights are side by side instead of on top of each other.I believe also that you will have to disconnect the auto on sensor for these to work. Id find them on Ebay and ask the seller personally , they will have more knowledge than anyone here

Thanks guys.. I will do just that.. my only concern really is the 5 individual lights, if they are the only ones on they have a look of an Audi style headlight and I would never want my bella to be thought of night as a Audi.. I will need to consider this a little more i think..

Keep them factory! I like the factory with 6000K HIDs! Are you trying to change the look of your front end or just want a fresh look? Because I have a brand new set of TRD headlights still in the box I will let go for a good price!

hmm I think the TRD lights are what I have on there now.. not sure though, it did come with the TRD package i didn't realize there was a difference lol. After going to IMPORTFEST on saturaday.. and let me tell ya OMG some sweet cars there, i've decided that the best way to show off my bella is to let her shine like a celi all on her own. So im sticking with what I have, but thank you for all the advise you guys are awesome!

I stand corrected, they use H3 size bulbs so you will need to order new HID bulbs (size H3) to use with your ballasts to make it work on these lights. (see link below)

Sorry, Mike. Try again.

Here's the thread from when these lights originally debuted 2 years ago when I used to follow it closely and was thinking of buying a set until I saw one in person at a local celica meet. They looked cool at first but then I noticed the cheap plastic and ricey design.

Good idea Connie! Just keep what you have! I personal think they have more flair than the ricey after markets that are out there anyway! Keep your Celi looking like a Celi! They are in a class of their own!:-)
