jsut buy an HID kit and put it in yourself. its basically plug and play, and is waaay better than stock bulbs.

watch out for glare caused by the stock projector unit, and the "UFO" effect caused by the cutout areas used to light up overhead signs.. you could always try to get the Toyota OEM HID unit as fitted to the newer T-Sport etc..
