h11 and h9 are the high and low numbers. I have a 4300 Low and don't need a high cause They are bright enough. But thats just me though. Love my highs and don't use them but Lows are overdivable easily

Thanks yanges I forgot that page was there.  Plus I didn't think it would actually have the bulbs listed. I was wondering about the HID high beams. Was wondering if there was even a point to them. Usually after you install HID's the high beam(if still original) are pointless.

Here is a pic of my 6K plug and play HID kit.. with B1 Hybrid parking light bulbs and Cuzo high beams.



Technically adding HIDs are illegal.. thats why most shops dont carry them in stock and some have stopped selling all together. I highly doubt yo will be pulled over for them, but the DOT will crack down on shops that sell them on a regular basis. I can get the H11 plug and play kits for like $140-150 in 6k, 8k, and 10k. Great quality, had them in like 10 cars so far that didnt come stock with HIDs.

Hi, I just have a question regarding the placement of the ballast. Where is the best place to secure the ballasts and what should be used to do so?  Pictures will be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!!  Cheesy

I will try to take pics of mine, mine are double sticker inside the engine bay at roughly right above the fender well. There is a flat space there perfect for the ballasts to sit.

Yes, they do.  A guy that works in the mall that I do has a super white xb2 with 6000k HID's in his low beams and his fog lights.  The scion foglights are h11 bulbs just like the headlights are, you just need to find somewhere to mount the ballast.

That sounds like where I mounted my ballasts... I finally installed my HIDs from MobileHID.com this last weekend and love 'em! It's just too bad that now, w/ daylight savings, I'm rarely driving at night lately... Now I need to see if my wife wants 'em in the Camry as well Smiley

I just installed my kit today.  Love them!  The only issue I have is I think the headlights are aimed a bit too high.  I have another car with factory HID lights, put them side-by-side, and the the xB low beam lights were higher on the wall.  Also, when I turned on the high beams, the low beams were actually partly in the high beam area.  Not so on my other car.

Do anyone know how to adjust the headlights?  I looked in the manual but I couldn't find anything.
