Ray what is the price on the group buy?
The price to you Guys in Aussie the price will be slightly lower than
the $250.00US Quoted on MI , but you will also need to source a Forten Key by-pass
Which i might be able to supplyor at worst give you the link to the best price . :thumbsup:

has anyone here bought the Mars Performance Angel Eyes headlights for the Yaris?
http://www.marsperformance.com/html/Black-CCFL-Twin-Halo-Angel-Eyes-Projector-Head-lights-for-Toyota-Yaris-05-09.html
Im a bit of a noob and doing a bit of research into headlights etc, it seems there is a lot I had no idea about. Like ballasts, HIDs and projectors etc.
Im curious if anyone can offer any experience in fitting the Mars headlights, as I am not sure about how to hook up the Halos. Is it as simple as splicing them into the parkers wiring? Is it more complicated that that because they are LEDs?
(apologies if I have posted in the wrong section, it seemed appropriate. And I'm new here. :redface: )

Thanks :thumbup:
Im not sure how much it cost to do, when i bought my yaris in stock form it came with them from the dealer. But im guessing at least $100-200+ professionally done. I could be wrong though.

my white 5 door yaris is getting the stripes also! I have a freind who makes up stickers for motorcycles, he is making mine up.
ATM I am having side mirrors with indicators installed, rear scoop, lights (not sure which as yet) and fog lights

here is a pic of the rims I have fitted to my 2010 5 door hatch, custon paint job gets done in the Christmas /New Year break while I am not at work, hopefully all the new parts will have arrived by then.
The rims are from tech9tyres down Fremantle way, I have to get speedo recalibrated because its approx 3-5km out now
Spacers were fitted and custom drilling had to be done but love them, when they are polished they look great

had to create a new account to post, guess cos I've not been back for a while :/ but anyway I've got a 2013 YR but with a few additions, cruise control that I picked up thanks to a member here, 15" wheels, fog lights etc, got a cat back custom exhaust fitted recently and sound good, soon to fit some pedders sports riders to lower it a tad :)
I am trying to source a set of headers that will fit the 1.3lt 2NZ-FE engine with not much luck as well as a reasonable cold air kit. Any leads for suppliers in Australia would be great.

Hey willie, nice to hear from another Aussie 👍 who did your exhaust system? Not sure if there are many oz suppliers for Yaris stuff.... may have to look in Japan or the US, although postage may be costly.
Some pics once the pedders are fitted would be awesome!

Exhaust was done by a local shop, took a few goes though, first was front resonator delete to a straight pipe, it was obnoxious :evil: then tried a small muffler and it was to quite :iono: ended up with a "baffled" SS resonator at the rear a mild steel in the middle, I'm not totally happy but it's pretty close and given I'm putting headers (got a lead on some) on it will change again, but it has mellowed with use :wink:
Kinda funny a 43yr old souping up a little 1.3ltr roller-skate but it's a fun little rocket :burnrubber:

Nothing wrong with any age souping up any car 👍 mine is the 1.5lt, but I've been told by the minister for war and finance (the missus) that the budget is fish bum tight.... we shall see haha

Hi all,
I am not from Australia but I will post anyway :p
This is my 2009 5 door yaris. 1.33L 100hp 6speed manual. I think it has the terra package but I am not sure.
It's 100% stock right now. I am the only owner I bought it brand new. Current miles: 105.500. Zero problems whatsoever. I am really taking care of it. Imagine, I haven't even changed clutch, or suspension, or disk brakes so far. They are in good condition even after so many miles.
As you see in the pictures, my first mod will be these jvc cs-620x speakers. I am going to fit them in the weekend. Time to upgrade the poor sound quality of the stock speakers. Also I am planning to do some soundproof in the front doors with glass wool, if I am calling it right to boost even more the new speakers. It's way more cheaper than dynamat products. Not that effective tho, but it's better than nothing.
Plannings in the near feature:
•Chrome rings on the circle air vents.
•Exhaust tip
•maybe a new leather gear knob cause mine has damages
•interior led lights
•black vvti tags near the fender's turn signals
Plannings in the far feature:
•Rear spoiler
•soundproof in the rear doors
•amplifier to boost my rms output (I might do this in near feature. It depends from the sound quality I will have from the new speakers [emoji344])
•windows tint
•paint calipers red and put TRD sticker on them
Wish list (no money no honey):
•turbo kit [emoji26][emoji26][emoji29]
•aftermarket pioneer headunit
Zero knowledge of how to do it:
•floor mat led lights
•interior lights dimming. (So they close slowly)
•front console tint with some brushed aluminum or 4D carbon fiber vinyl.
•Day-led-lights

Not yet, finishing of the exhaust side first, I'm waiting on a set of headers from the states :thumbup: I hope they will fit :wink:
Then it will be onto the suspension, haven't bought them yet as I'm hunting around the net for other (cheaper) options, but if I don't find anything it will be pedders, actually looking at king springs now as I've used them on previous vehicles and they've popped up in my searches as suitable.
This is it at the moment, just a daily driver, dirt, bugs and all :smile:

They are "fog lights" but they are plug and play, I got mine from Ebay, all the wiring is there ready to go except the stalk switch, just need a button that fits in a blank near the mirror adjustment, same as the cruise control. pretty sure the instruction are on here somewhere as well.

finally got around to fitting my springs and headers.
Springs dropped ride by 30mm and handles a little better, still stock shocks though.
Headers were fun to fit and aren't quite right, geometry was a little off (about 5mm if that) and they rattle on the x-member under forward acceleration, and I need to drill na extra hole in the engine mount bracket on the header, everything else fit striaght up, going to need an exhaust guy to help me fix bumping on the cross member though, maybe just replace the lot from the headers back and be done with it, otherwise a noticeable improvement over stock manifold.

Just incase any from Oz stops by here, I now have a Tanabe axle back sport exhaust fitted, replaced the above headers with Megan Racing headers, both sourced from Redline360 in the US and sent over via USPS at a reasonable price, and have this nice little addition recently fitted.

cheers, thanks for that.
you say that the UV coating start peeling. how long did it take before you start noticing it? like 6mths or a year? just wanted to know if its worth buying them. i'm in Casula so Chipping Norton is only few mins away
Did you end up buying those?
I noticed mine peeling in two months....if you want value for your money than i would suggest getting the stock light retrofitted with halos. You could get something like this done....

I have an old yaris and headlights were yellow. Restored the look on them, they look better now but still bad visibility at night. New ones are expensive, it’s cheaper to get these halo ones from mars performance for $430 a pair, not sure if they gonna last enough though.

Are yours ebay ones or MARS? Mars performance from Melbourne offer one year warranty, wondering if they suffer the same problem
