Default XenonDepot HID Install Inquiry...

Hey Guys,

I'm purchasing the 6000K HID kit from XenonDepot.com soon, and i'm wondering if anyone knows a good installer in the Chicagoland area.

I have the Halogen headlights so it's not just a bulb swap. There's a hole that needs to be drilled in the dust cover to run the wires going from the bulb to the ballast.

Has anyone done this conversion or know of a good(in terms of price and install) place to get them installed? Thanks in advance guys!

I don't know, you can try any import shop. It's easy on most cars. I installed my own.

You can go to Sound Performance I guess or you can PM Chris M (if he's not on vacation yet). They are both experienced with Toyota and Lexus.

HIDs are generally easy to install. They're mostly plug and play. You take the balast, plug it into your Toyota harness, and then replace the light bulb. The only think you need to do is mount the balast somewhere. So it's just a matter of trust that they will do a good job mounting the balasts.
