All real HID's are that bright. You can't get them anymore though. They made it illegal to put aftermarket HID's in.

well if you're talking about Re-based HID's, then you'll want H4's, not H1's. And You won't have the same beam pattern unless you retrofit Projectors into your headlights, as the Celica's come with factory projectors for their halogen bulbs.

Kits aren't sold as much, but individual components are still available.

You can still find them on Ebay. I know one guy is still selling some McCulloch kits and I have a 10000K McCulloch kit too if you wanna buy it =P
Just do a search on Ebay and you'll find some catz and mccullochs
