Informed that I now have to order a 450h with LED headlights and not the HID's that I thought I could have used in it. How do you like them? My wife has center vision in here left eye only and needs to have a bright light at night. The HID's on our 05 RX330 are great even the lights on my 10 Camry would do but would not want to have them as dimmer than that.

You're gonna probably have to go to your dealer and drive both at night. I have the HID's with auto everything and love them. The LED's are slightly higher tech and most swear by them as well but some have said they're not quite as bright when compared. You'll just have to compare and decide what's best for you.

I think the LEDs are just as bright. They light up the road fine for me. Plus, the headlights look cooler lol.

Thank you both but this is a small dealership and there is not one car with LED on his lot.If he did not give me a great price I thank I would have got one in Texas or New Orleans

the good thing about HIDs is that you can always swap in higher K bulbs. can't do that with LEDs. but on the flip side, the LEDs are almost guaranteed to last the life time of your car and should last longer than HID bulbs.

I'd recommend using the driving lights with the LEDS. They're a bit weak on their own. I changed out the fogs to get rid of the yellow and now have a much better view of the road.

I think you will be fine with either. Like Anita, said, you arent just solely relying on the LEDs but there are also the fogs.

they look so great that I dont care if they are dimmer. lol

I think LED reflect on the road signs better. They show a much whiter light then the Lexus stock HID's

billy44bo

"I dont care if they are dimmer" But how much dimmer are they again my wife ONLY has center vision in her left eye. If they are as bright as the lights in a 2010 Carmry then ok if they are a little bit less than the HID's that would be ok be if they are as bright as what you would find in a 2000 model car with out HID's then that would not work for us.

RXSF

What does your camry have? xenons or regular projector headlights? They will definately be brighter than the projectors...

billy44bo

I am sorry it has only Halogen lights and like you say it If they are that good or better then it will work out just fine

RXSF

then you should be good. If your camry has halogens, then it probably doesnt have fog lights either. I think you will find the LED lights adequate

billy44bo

Thank you but I have an XLE v6 with the fog lights and voice nav in it

RXSF

apologies, I didnt know toyota included fog lights without xenons.

The Camry is a good car but it is not a Lexus so you do not get the things that you can get on a RX. Xenons are not offered on a Camry. But Thank you so very much in letting me know how you like the LED headlights and how bright they are. This has help us go on and order the car. Now we get the long wait for it to show up. Our last RX was order in the end of October and the put it together on January the 1st of 2005 and got to us the first week of March. It takes a long time to get the car but you get it with everything you wanted in it.
