Thanks for the replies...
Yea my friend just installed some hyperwhite bulbs(he has an '02 celica) and I dont know if he installed them wrong or what, but there is considerable loss in light output...and yea it seems as though the light is shining upwards rather than down where they are supposed to...
I've also been looking around and came across an HID conversion kit?? Misterjung or something? I was wondering if anyone has installed them in their cars and what kind of kit they got. Also how the light output, etc. is... Thanks!
