Default Re: High Intensity Discharge (HID) Light Kit Install/Upgrade for Hybrid and Fog light

Got mine thru ebay.com last week for US$90+shipping.
Colour (temp) is 6100K and consdier as 'diamond white' colour.
It is brighter than stock H11 but still not as good as original GS and Sienna XLE HID.
Put it on over the weekend (25 minutes) and worked fine.
I just use the 'plug-n-go' wire and connected to the existing H11 socket.
Legal issue, since Camry XLE has an HID option. Dealler said as long as temperature below 8000K should be fine.

  • Did you DIY, have a dealer-install, or private party install it?
  • Have you run into issues with the ballast and power supply?
  • What temperature did you get? Recommend?
  • Do you know of any warranty issues (including extended warranty violations?)
  • Are there any legal issues in your area (for an aftermarket/Non-OEM kit install) that you've run into?
  • Did the install cause issues with DRL
    • If not, did you install over the DRL system or in addition to?
My friend had installed a HID it on their 2003 corolla SE but his lights blew out when he'd start the car if he had his lights on because of the power-sag; I'd hate for something like this to happen on my car...

Thanks!
