HID lights

[BMWWW]

Has anyone heard of Xenon depot? Are their products good? The prices are ok if the quality is really superior.

Anyone havhe experience with them?

No. They're all bad.
HID's are like cooties.

Stay away from HID's. Your Corolla will implode on the spot, and have 1000x electrical fires, and your girlfriend will dump you for me if you buy and install HID's.

All local shops are shady, will rob you of your car, and do grade 2 arts-and-crafts on your electrical and burn up all wires.

The only good stuff that Xenon Depot sells is the OEM gear, but those won't fit in your Corolla:
New Philips OEM ballast $139

New Philips OEM D2S bulb $70
http://www.kbcarstuff.com/Philips_43.../pb-d2s-4k.htm

The rest of the stuff is the same Chinese made parts that are available from anywhere else. Even the stuff they claim is "made in Japan" is actually made by a Chinese company with an "office" in Japan

It depends what you are looking for: brighter light vs. cool color? A Corolla takes 9006 low beams (1000 lm) and 9005 high beams (1800 lm).

If it's brighter lighting you want, the cheapest bang for the buck is to modify 9005 high beam bulbs to fit into the 9006 sockets. This gives you about 80% more light for $20, but bulb life is only 300 hours.

Another option is to trim 9012 HIR low beam bulbs (1700 lm) to fit into your 9006 sockets. This gives you standard bulb life (1000+ hours) and about 70% more light for about $50

These options give you a lot more light without the installation hassles and glare you would get with a HID kit.
