Hi Gang,

Any opinions on the best HID "equivalent" head lamps for a 99 4Runner? I am not about to spend $900 cdn, $700 US, to convert to HID.

What are my options?

Thanks,

Bruce

well you have some options...
PIAA has some bulbs that are "near" HID in color and looks, but obviously not as bright as real HIDs
Sylvania Silverstars are also an option that is cheaper than the PIAAs but not nearly as bright or white/blue.
PIAAs run about $80 US a pair and the Silverstars are prolly no more than $30 ( i think)

true HIDs wont cost you $700 US. i just ordered my Hella HID conversion kit for $400 from www.misterjung.com however, i have to warn you, their service there totally blows, so be careful.

Good luck with Jung. He tends to sell an inferior product.

Dont waste your money on PIAA, they are garbage. You are better off saving up for an HID kit in the long run.

This company sells a genuine phillips kit for $630 CAN:

I paid $800 CAN for my CATZ.

Good Luck!

thanx for the heads up. i already ordered some low beam HIDs from him and they blew 3 of my fuses so i sent them back. he is sending me the dual beams that are normally 100 more for no additional charge. he says they wont burn out my fuses because they run from the battery (or something like that). ill let u know how it turns out.
BTW my friend ordered his HIDs for his celica and they have been great for 6 months or so.
