2002 9006 Stock Lights vs McCulloch HID Conversion kit

Below is the kit. I received it in a bag... he didn't tell me but that's how he ships it normally. Your kit will be sent in the original box unless you want it like how I got it. The bulbs are in their own casing so you don't have to worry.

The color is 5300 but I think it's 5000... It looks PURE WHITE w/o any blue at all... cameras always make it look bluer than it should be =\

good pixs they look good, how long did it take to put them in?

lol the wiring is direct plug and play!!!! It took... about 10 minutes AT MOST!!! =x

Mounting the ballasts took about another 10 minutes because we were cleaning off the mount areas. The kit came w/ its own "double sided tape" but it didn't look too good so I used some 3M tape (stole Richard's lol) and it's mounted rather well.

I forgot to take pictures of how the beam looks (have to look for a place where it's completely dark) and a picture of where I mounted the ballasts/igniters. I'll get those up tonight. I'll also get a DIY for it up soon.

I'll post ballast mount locations when I do the DIY ... it got too dark to get decent pix inside the engine bay.

here is a comparison between colors. My color is 4500... i guess he told me the wrong color but I'll get back to you on that.

Catz 6100K w/ aftermarket fog bulbs

6100 light beam against the wall

G-Garage 5000K w/ Silverstar bulbs on the FOGS

5000K Light beam (sorry! we're too lazy to move the cars in and out, etc)

McCulloch 4500K HID w/ OEM fogs

4500K Light beam

Kenny's 5000K vs My 4500K

Mine alone

My light beam against Kenny's light beam

Conclusion:

Yes... the lower the K color temperature, the brighter it is. The difference between my 4500 and Kenny's 5000 is miniscule but noticeable in person. Remember, all the pictures tend to show up slightly blue-er than they look in person. Upon comparison, the Catz 6100 looks blue no contest. The 5000K looked white until compared w/ my 4500. The 5000 has a tint of blue. the 4500 seem to be PURE white... but we may be wrong because putting it against a 4100 may make it seem blue (unless it makes the 4100 seem yellowish). Both the 4500 and the 5000 look stock. The 6100 is just past stock looking... but it can pass at stock as long as the fogs are somewhat matched.

Note: The 5000 may look brighter due to lowering differences. I'm on stock everything

while Kenny's blue Solara is on Tein/Tokico and 18s. So I guess my beams are aimed slightly higher

Those look great man. If I didn't have all my car funds tied up, I would probably spring for a set. By the way does anyone else think that is a hell of a lot of Solaras in one driveway

. You guy probably totally freaked out you neighbors. :lol:

It's like that almost everyday... his house has a 03 Camry, 03 Highlander, and 02 Solara. All silver =x Then I show up w/ my Silver 02 and his gf w/ her champagne mid 90s Camry Coupe and other Solara friends... =x Too many Camry platform cars =P
