2 cents anyone?

They look great! Your fogs are silverstars? They look pretty yellow, might just be the contrast from those HIDs, though.

Looks great! Does it help your visability much?

Looks great! Damn, I wish someone made HIDs for 2004 Solaras!

you can use the 9006 bulb conversion...

as long as the HID bulb is 9006 it should compatiable..from my understanding..

please correct me if i am wrong..

by **kubi** » Fri Dec 19, 2003 4:46 pm

Absolutely right. Just find out what type of bulb the headlights use and find an HID kit to match.

by **indiglosolara** » Fri Dec 19, 2003 4:56 pm

so for the 04 Solara you can use any HID Set with the bulbs size that fits your housing.. its pretty much a unverisal set-up for all car as long as you get your bulb type right...

You guys are right about the 9005/6 replacements. That's the size for my high beams. But my low beams are some weird number. I haven't checked what type of housing they are in, but this is the information on the bulb for an 2004 Solara SLE:

Philips H11LL
Germany C313
12v 55w
12362LL

I'd love to get some HIDs for my low beams!

To the best of my knowledge that would be an H11 Long Life, at least Sylvania uses LL to indicate the bulbs are an extended life bulb. H11 though? That's weird!

yea it does help a lot in visability. the road signs are lit better. i lowered them so they won't be too blinding.

i posted my hids on an hid forum and this is what i got. http://hidforum.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=18602#post18602
are they correct?

by **nnnyyy** » Wed Dec 24, 2003 11:20 am

Yup those guys are correct. There are some very knowledgeable people there with regards to HIDs. It's pretty hard to get a nice beam pattern with the reflectors in a solara. Are you using shields? Looking at your wall picture, there is way too much glare. If you have the money and want the best hid setup, go with the hella bixenon projectors retrofit with a set up 6k philips ultinon bulbs. Costs around a grand though.
