HID Lights Install ?

[k3nn4]

Guys, Just wondering where can I install my HID Light Kits in Perth?

Thanks

If it's a simple plug-and-play, you can do it yourself. It's pretty easy and self-explanatory.

Doesn't need to wiring ???

I'm thinking to buy this from ebay

it's h4 bi xenon bulb right?

Yupe it's H4 bi xenon :)

Nope, doesn't seem like it needs anything else. However, contact the seller to make sure. But again, it looks like it includes everything you need. I like how it uses Philips bulbs. You shouldn't have a problem with that. However, I don't know where the ballast is manufactured. I'm betting that that kit is better than the HID kit I have.

Thanks for the information :) I will ask the seller and see if it come with the installation manual or something

If it doesn't come with an installation manual, let us know. It's pretty simple, plug the lead into the ballast (doesn't matter which way with an H4, meaning + to + or + to -, I had to invert mine to + to - to get it to work), then plug the other cables to it's proper mate (mine were a 6000k cable and a high beam cable, I believe), then plug in the 3-prong connector to the car's socket (you know, the socket that a regular bulb plugs into).

The only hard part would be getting the bulb into the rubber plug/sleeve. I had to cut mine to put it through. Now I get condensation in my headlights every now and then.

Yeah, you should do that for the OP. Too late for me. LOL.

Thanks for the advice and I will let you know after I received the kit :)

Where did you get the kit from?
Looking for HIDs...

I think you should read all over my post again -.-''

eBay the answer

[lunjiaow]

oops my bad.... looks pleasing.
You could hide the ballast under the headlights, thats what i did for my other cars.
Makes it stock looking, and if the cops pull you over they wont be able to spot it to give you a yellow.

What do you mean by this? you reversed the connection going to the ballast? I got a set for my friend's 08 Yaris and he said its not working right.

[marcus]

our car has reverse grounding system.. hope its plug and play otherwise you may need to switch some wires..

[bimmerman86]

Ok, my friend reversed the wires to get the lights to work. Problem is that they flicker and don't stay on. The only way to get the HIDs to stay on is if he runs them as high beams, but then the halogen bulb has no function. Can someone explain to me how to reposition the wires to get the HIDs to function as low beam and the halogen as high beams? I feel bad getting him the kit and not be able to help him to rsolve the problem. I want to at least get him good info.

drl is causing the flicker for low beam you either take the drl relay of or or relay the low beam instead . that relay and fuse should come with the hid kit..

He says his car doesn't have DRL.

[Masteraal]

k3nn4 takes some pics for me i was looking at the bluepack too :) thanks mate

[marcus]

uhmm as far as i know all yaris has day time running light DRL.... thats the only reason why its flickering.. drl run on 10 volts where hid needs 12 v at least otherwise itll flicker. ..

relay low beam..although it may be on the whole time you can always use high beam on day time..

[spookz]

The Yaris in Australia does not have DRL.. All our lights are controlled manually through the switch only.

Wouldn't an easy way to determine if he does have DRL be the light sensor? Is it a black bubble dome barely noticeable in the forward side of the dashboard like in my Corolla? I'll see if he has it next time I see him. I was also thinking :eyebulge::moon:, to bypass the DRL function without messing with all the wires and relays, what about just blocking the light to the sensor? maybe electrical tape over it or get fancy and make a molded cap?:iono:

[marcus]

just use a relay should still be plug and play.. main point of relay is run 12 v on the hid rather than 10v input from having drl all u need to run is one wire to the battery..no messin around with drl relay or stock wires. the kit should come with the hids

[bimmerman86]

can you explain this one a bit?

[marcus]

the hid kit should come with relay..the yaris stock plugs going to stock headlight will now go to the relay kit and then the relay kit has wires to run to the battery and the other set of wires to the hid ballast.

[bimmerman86]

ummmm... nope. this kit goes from the stock connector straight to the halogen bulb on one side, and the other side to a connection to the ballast which then goes to the Xenon bulb. This was the first H4 kit I've gotten so I didn't suspect anything missing. I guess it's live and learn. So what would you recommend to complete the circuit properly? a specific relay?

[lunjiaow]

You must have the Low beam HID. The one with Relay Kit is the HI/LO beam.

hmm that sucks.. anyways 2 ways to do it either get a relay kit. which cost money or.. swith wire.. use high beam wire to run hid the only thing is you have to use high beam to run hid every night .. are you sure u dont have DRL!

He said he's positive he doesn't. I live 3 hours away, so I can't stop by his house to spy the car myself. It's gonna be a couple of weeks before I can do that. he said He was going to go the high beam wire route. I just don't like rigging things that are supposed to be ready to go.

[marcus]

well good luck ... the flicker issue can only be cause by drl..runing less that 12 volts during day time running light is on. or it could be the hid ballast being defective.

[bimmerman86]

Ok, here's what I resolved. The flicker was due to a bad ballast. We replaced the ballasts. Lights now work. BUT, backwards. The halogen lights up with intensity of low beam and xenon is extremely bright. Switched the leads around, that only changes when each one lights up. The xenon is too bright to drive with. Can't even tell which tint the light is. Any ideas?
