Low beam is D2S. D2S and H7 are different.
High beam - HB3 a.k.a. 9005
fogs - HB4 a.k.a. 9006

hb3 is different from h3, hb4 and h4 are different.

So this is what you need to buy, HB3 HID kit for your high beam. If gusto mo pati fog lamps buy an HB4 HID kit as well.

bro eto suggestion ko sayo:

a. wag mo pagalaw yung stock HID sa LO. Philips Germany D2s 4300k bulbs naka kabit dyan. Yan ang the best oem bulbs right now. Kung gumagana pa with the oem ballasts, wag mo pagalaw. I worked with many headlights na with OEM HID, ginawa ba naman pinalitan ng China 6000k kasi mas maliwanag daw at pati ballasts pinalitan. Naku pag di mo alam yang mga ganyan, "installers" and shops will take advantage of you. Even your ballasts, wag mo pagalaw. Your 4300k bulbs will give you the best output on the road. Tama lang dapat adjustment.

b. Sa Hi, personally I would not install HID. A good halogen bulb will do like Philips XP or OSram NB. Hindi good value investment ang HID dyan. I think you wouldnt not see any oem setup na naka HID yung HI. There is a reason for that.

c. Get also a good halogen bulb for your fogs. Dont install HID here, not a good value investment. Nakakasilaw output pag naka HID and fogs are cheap add ons na ginagamit ng mga auto mfg na really, very minimal addition sa lighting performance.

d. Kung kailangan linisin yung headlights, palinis mo. Madali mag yellow yung Camry na HL.

I suggest that you follow the advice of gary. Halogens are still better for the high beams and fog lamps.

And "fogs are cheap add ons na ginagamit ng mga auto mfg na really, very minimal addition sa lighting performance. " I agree with this, on some cars parang more of design add on nalang ang foglamps. Look at the facelifted Mazda CX-9 fog lamps, parang walang kwenta talaga yun output

hay talaga bro halos walang effect mga stock fogs and imagine they charge 15-18k for this setup.

thanks for the tips mga sir.. actually napapaisip na nga ako ngayon. hehe looking at the fogs nga.. para nalang sha display light.. walang kabuga buga.. kaya naisipan ko ipaHID.. baka sakaling maging useful. pero what if hindi padin maganda ang buga. sayang lang ang HID.. hehe owell.. cguro papakabitan ko muna ng magandang brand na all weather bulb.. i'll see from there. =)

anu ba bagay na kulay ng park light para sa camry? with that set up ng light? parang gusto ko blue led.. kaso parang baduy.. haha what do you think?

Usually new Japanese cars use D2S bulbs for the OEM Equipped HID. Projector type or Reflector Type.

Then they use HB3 for the high beam.

Ganyan sa CR-V ko.

Sa Corolla Altis 2.0V.

Sa Civic 2.0S / 2.0S-L.

Alam mo kung bakit?

Hindi sa harapan ang buga ng fogs. Usually sa side. Pure yellow halogen bulbs lang katapat nyan.

Tip ko lang, gawin mo din pure yellow yung high beam tapos maghanap ka ng yellow or amber (orange) na park light.

Ganda nyan. Dapat decent looks. Camry pa naman yan, 3.0V V6 ba?

Pwede rin 'to

Yup sayang lang talaga. Actually it will be brighter pag HID pero the distance would still be the same as stock. So few feet lang from the bumper ang coverage plus some brightness on the sides.
Okay din suggestion ni SG na yellow sa highbeams. Catz japan yellow bulbs nakakabit sa high beam ng isang car namin, okay talaga lalo na pag foul weather

For parklight, quality looking white LED or Polarg/Wurth amber would do. Don't put blue. Panget

yun nga sir.. sa side po yung buga niya. tapos super walang kwenta. haha as in line lang na manipis.. thats it. kaya nakakadisapoint, kasi may nakikita ako na ibang kotche na yung fogs nila though hindi nakakasilaw pag kasalubong mo pero super ganda ng buga. anyways, its a camry 2.4 sir, may nagsasabi nga i-JDM looks ko daw.. kaso hindi ko din naman alam anu yung looks na yun.. haha

actually yung picture na sinend mo sir is yung target ko na looks.. haha simple but elegant..
