There are a few that have HID kits added to their car. All of them work granted you know what bulb size your headlights use. What year is yours?

For the 02-03.
99-01 is 9003

As for HID systems, most of the bulbs are the same, but make sure you buy a quality balast like phillips.

Thanks Yanks0114,

Also Hella or McCulloch make a good ballast/kit.

Very true. I forgot about those. The ballast makes all the difference. The cheap ones go bad after a year or so, the good ones should outlast your car.

I have a HID system installed in my car. There are many colors of HID (blue,purple,white, and kind of green) I purchased the purple type. As you can see in my pic. The only bad thing about this conversion, as many people said already, is that you lose your high beams. The good thing about them are that you will not have a blue tint in the day from the junky bulbs that a lot of people have and you get great light output. If you buy go hid just make sure the ballests are good quality.

damn....your HID looks nice~~~
can you tell me where you got them?..and what brand it is?
price also~~...i was thinking about HID for my solara too...and after seeing yours...i want one bad~~
does your bulb change to white-ish output after the bulb heats up a bit?
or stays in that purple color?
thanks~
