cutoff and output is great. color is 4300k, its a yellow/white. i had 3000k HID fogs but changed to 8000K fogs. light output is so outrageous. i could drive with just fogs and its enough to light the road

So does the cutoff reflect any blue at all? Or just white?

In my experience, any halogen projector that I deleted squirrel spotters/reduced glare still had a tinge of blue. My ES has color and so does my Camry. Of course, I got 5000-6000k each time though...

Hey, Thanks for the responses.

I plan on getting the HID OEM Projectors my 2002 ES and a 6000K or 8000K HID Kit from somewhere. HIDextra seems like a great deal, so I may try them first.

If the cutoff is nice and blue like a nissan or acura than I will get a 4300k or 6000k, but if it's like the new Camry's right now, then I am going higher temp for the blue look.

Also, does anyone know how to aim the bulbs in a 05 ES Assembly?

You may want to check out DDM Tuning's Raptor HID kits. Its what I'm using right now in my Camry

Oh, and 8000k is overkill. You want some light so 6000k is as high as I usually go for the look. 5000k is good compromise between looks and practicality

aiming the light on the 05 is easy. since i lowered my car i actually adjusted my headlight because the front was lowered more than the rear. OEM 05 lights are yellow/white. no blue at all. when they turn on they kind of look purple, then they warm up to a yellow/white. where do you plan on finding OEM projectors? they would be extremely expensive

if you are getting 05 oem projectors you won't need to buy an hid kit from hidextra
