My 6500k H4 HID Review [pics]

[Chris07LB]

FYI - THESE HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY AN EAGLEYE KIT! *** THE LAST FEW PAGES ARE ALL IN REFERENCE TO THE NEWER KIT! *** THIS NEXUN IS NO LONGER BEING SOLD/PUSHED BY ME!

Well over the weeks, lots have asked about what HIDs I am using, and after ample testing for my friend that's the supplier, here goes my review. :cool:

Please READ, as many questions can be answered below in my review.

Now, the H4 HID kit I am using, is a single H4 kit. Meaning it is ONLY a low beam kit. For those needing a high beam to pass inspection, but rather a single HID kit, no problem. By disconnecting ONE wire harness plug, and removing the HID bulb, you can swap your stock halogen bulb in, reconnect the original plug side, and pass inspection. A simple 5 minute fix for when needed. I never flash my High beams, so for me, a single only kit wasn't an issue.

For those wanting both a High & Low beam, and not wanting to be bothered with the mentioned above, fear not! My buddy has H4 High/Low HID kits, but as with anything additional, so is the price. Install is exactly the same, only difference is a tiny super bright halogen bulb thats attached to the H4 housing... it sits just above the HID itself.

My kit is made by Nuxen, and to describe the color, I would have to say bright white, with just a HINT of purple in the mix. The color is listed as a 6500k, but it is more like a true 6000k with the extra hint of the purple.

Keep in mind, beam Cut Off is VERY important with an aftermarket HID kit, in a non-factory HID headlight housing! This will keep you from blinding other drivers, and help you put the light where its needed most... not splattered all over the highway!

My kit in the pictures has a special low price being run right now, PM me on PRICING. :smile:

Keep in mind, unlike all the cheesy HID kits you see listed on eBay, these H4 kits come with a ONE YEAR Warrenty, and all weather proof connections are plug & play, to avoid any confusion during install. It is a very easy install.

*NOTE*, those with Day Time Running Lights, will first have to Disable them! Follow the link - http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=894

On to the pictures. :coolpics:

[Chris07LB]

Opps, good question. I just added the info in the post. :smile:

[Chaad32]

Hmmmm....i think my headlights are just fine for me.

[Kr0n1k]

Nice Chris, thanks for the info. If only the damn thing would hurry up and get off the boat.

[ChinoCharles]

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: SOOO CLASSY HAHAHA

I want some.

[TRD_Yaris]

what type of bulb do you have in the LICENSE PLATE ILLUMINATOR?? that thing is bright and has NEARLY as good of a cutoff as your HIDs :wink:

[IsLNdbOi]

Chris07LB, you have a PM.

[ScottFern]

You have PM.

[Chris07LB]

Both PM's replied to fella's. :thumbsup:

[ItsMyDaily]

sent you a pm regarding this kit.

[IsLNdbOi]

Sent you another PM as well.

[Chris07LB]

Sent you another PM as well.

Nothing in my inbox from either of you. :confused:

[ItsMyDaily]

that's strange. I went ahead and sent you another one.

[IsLNdbOi]

Sent you the PM again.

[ItsMyDaily]

sent you another pm, hopfully it reaches you :)

[IsLNdbOi]

You've got another PM. I think I'm going to jump in and finally order one through you Chris07LB.

[ItsMyDaily]

I'm waiting on the reply, and I'll send my money in once I get one. However the delay in replys to my pm's is making me hesitate. Hopefully communication gets better, but he's probably a busy guy.

[IsLNdbOi]

How much are replacment lights for these HIDs if one ever goes out? Would the warranty take care of that? Last question, if I ever have to claim the warranty who do I go through?

[Chris07LB]

Please understand, I am not the manufacturer of the HIDs, just helping my friends company based out of California when I can.. nor do I spend every waking minute checking my PM's. I have typed novels to tons of guys including every tidbit of information I can, only to never hear back (no big deal) or be asked the same questions over and over (again, no big deal).. But gimmie a brake, if you dont hear back 5 minutes after you Pm'd.

I'll get to all my PM's AGAIN, by tonight. Thanks.

[vodkalush]

you seem to have a buttload of PM's.... so i figured I'd send u one as well, lol.*

Do you have HID's in the parking lights too?!

How does the high / low beam kit work? Don' you need bi-xenon projectors to do high / low beam HID?

[Chris07LB]

How does the high / low beam kit work? Don' you need bi-xenon projectors to do high / low beam HID?

In the kits I help sell now, the high beam works exactly the same as the Toyota Pirius that are equipted with factory HIDs. Instead of having a tiny halogen bulb attached to the low beam HID bulb like other kits, there is only one HID bulb, but the housing itself "snaps" back to aim the light patten up (high beam).

[IsLNdbOi]

Does the hi beam / low beam kit use debased bulbs that are hard to get replacements for?

Finally, if the hi beam / low beam kit does use debased bulbs, is there any way to get ones that are between 4300 - 5000k?

4300 to 5000k bulbs are supposedly the best types to use when using stock reflectors instead of using projectors.

Debased bulbs? :confused: :iono:

For me, this reads "There is no point in getting an HID kit with high beams." What do you think Chris, do you ever get into a situation where you wish you had the high beams?

Another question... assuming you got a low beam only kit would it be possible to change the stick controls so that a tug backwards turned on your fog lights instead of your high beams? This way you wouldn't need to install the switch for the fogs and all light controls could be operated with the stick. That would be quite the clean install.

Being how bright these low beam low H4 HID kit is, I have never needed to need anything brighter. As long as your headlights are aimed correctly, you will see great, and not be any harm or distraction to other drivers.

Now do I wish I sometimes had high beams for the A-Holes that cut me off from time to time, YES! :laugh:

[Chris07LB]

Again, these kits are H4 fittment, exactly what comes original equiptment size in your Yaris.

There is not "adapters" to make them from one size, to another.

To answer your last question, I believe he has a few different K ratings to choose from, but comparing light output to headlights with or without projectors, is like comparing apples to oranges.

A projector retrofit with HIDs, is hands down the best way to go, if you know what your doing to make it work correctly.

[IsLNdbOi]

I've been asking around HIDPlanet for some advice and they told me that if I'm gonna be doing a drop in kit and be keeping my stock reflectors then the best k rating to use are between 4000 to 5000 k bulbs.

Thats correct. Most "useable" light.. Just about every car company that has HID/Xenon's as factory equiptment, uses bulbs in that K range.

From experience, 8oook and 1o,oook may look nice, but you cant see the road for chit! These bulbs in this original post of mine, and the ones I am currenty using/selling, are labled I think higher then they should be... this is a nice crisp bright white with what I have now. No where near the bluish/teal color like the higher K bulbs.

Excellent. Now I have to decide whether I want to get fog lights or your HID kit first. :tongue:

[Chris07LB]

Id go fog lights. The eBay one's, like Todd's are only $119 shipped with everything.... save up later for two HID kits, one for fogs, one for headlights. :wink:

[ItsMyDaily]

Does this low beam kit eliminate the ability to use the high beams on the yaris?

Also any chance you can pm me the number of your contact? I'd like to speak to him about the purchase. There's a chance I may be heading up north in a couple weeks so maybe I can stop by after all.

[IsLNdbOi]

The Yaris uses a single bulb for low beam and high beam so if you got the low beam kit, you'd have low beam only. At least that's what I got from all of this.

[IsLNdbOi]

interesting. well then I guess I'd like to purchase the high/low beam kit.

[Chris07LB]

http://www.nuxen.com/

As mentioned before, the new kits are EAGLE EYE. This post does not seem to be ending, so all the new guys replying, again, the new kits are EAGLE EYE, not Nuxen.

We have had much better results with the color between the two lights staying the same.. the Nuxen had a few issues over time in that respect.
Also the Eagle Eyes have the igniter built in, so its a much easier/cleaner install as well.

Service and communication with Eagle Eye company has also been leaps and bounds over Nuxen.

[Violin]

From your first post on this thread: My kit is made by Nuxen...

Thanks for clearing that up.

Actually, shouldn't that be "EAGLEYE"?

[Violin]

Do you know if the High/Low is kit plug & play as well or does it require any cutting of the housing?

This is what has me concerned: (see step #1): http://www.namyung.co.kr/english/hotproduct/hidh4.asp

It may just be drilling a small hole for a mounting screw.

[IsLNdbOi]

I couldn't find Eagleye's website, but found this (maybe this is their website):

http://plasmagarage.com/index.html

[Violin]

No - this is it: http://www.namyung.co.kr/english/index_eng.asp

[nick1983]

Would you be able to get the high/low?

[Violin]

Would you be able to get the high/low?

I can answer that - Yes.

I'm probably going to get a set myself. I'll share my impression of them here if I do.

[Chris07LB]

High/Low's require NO MODDING/CUTTING Etc. of your housing..

Difference between the single low beam, and high/low beam H4 kits, is the high/low base of the bulb is extended (longer) then the single.

This, again, is like the HID/xenon used on the Toyota Prius. When engaging the high beams, the actual bulb itself, "snaps" back and up, to project the light "up wards."

I need to gather up all my post reply's, as Im repeating myself over and over.. :biggrin:

[IsLNdbOi]

Go to this site to see more about the kit Chris is selling:


http://plasmagarage.com/



You'll see pics. of the ballasts, harnesses and the high / low beam HID bulb used in the kit. Also, their price for the kit that does high / low beam is $328.75 shipped via 2 day UPS.

I'll probably buy the kit from them and then replace the ballast that the kit comes with, with some Denso ballasts that Toyota uses in their other cars.




Chris, sam07 said this:

"I am happy with the results and during the process of my HID retro I noticed at the bottom of the headlights there is a square space with screw holes into it. I noticed that this resembles an HID ballast location for our headlights *OEM fitment* as well as the D4R classification implanted in the back of the headlight*hid bulb* also."

Did you notice these square spaces for the ballasts in your LB?

[Chris07LB]

PM me for lower prices then that site.

Here's how the high/low kit looks.. notice the difference in bulb base, compared to the single H4 bulbs.

http://plasmagarage.com/H4BiXenonInstallationTutorialToyotaTacoma.html

Be sure to play their quick video to see them in action! :wub:

[FoEKuZ]

Be sure to play their quick video to see them in action! :wub:


that video doesnt happen to belong to you does it?? :rolleyes:

[Violin]

The video shows the hi/lows. He has just the lows.

[Chris07LB]

that video doesnt happen to belong to you does it?? :rolleyes:

Again, that site is NOT where you would be getting your kits from, nor would the price be that expensive!

[FoEKuZ]

The video shows the hi/lows. He has just the lows.


got ya...well, i installed my lights this afternoon, im just waiting till it gets dark here in cali, so i can take some pics...

[FoEKuZ]

not much of anything....but at least i took the picture....

[Violin]

I'm thinking of getting the 5200k intead of the 6000k or the 7000k he has in stock.

Am I right that the light will be better focused and less likely to attract unwanted attention from the cops?

[IsLNdbOi]

The higher the k rating 6000+, the bluer to more purple the light becomes. That would attract cops. I'd get something between 4000 - 5000k.

[Violin]

Thanks.

[ItsMyDaily]

most factory cars come equipt with 4000K. Besides the higher you go is more for looks then actually visibility. Yes it'll still be bright, but the distance of the beam will be shortened.

[bigsky2]

I couldn't find Eagleye's website, but found this (maybe this is their website):

http://plasmagarage.com/index.html

EagleEye and SmartEye are essentially the same brands.
They are manufactured by Guangzhou Hinux Electronics Co., Ltd.

Yes, you guessed it, that is a Chinese manufacturing company.
Nothing to fear, as SmartEye/EagleEye kits are good quality from what I've read and heard.

[eco]

Ok,I have 2 questions for you Chris,so there is no modding or cutting or drilling what so ever,right,let me know what is required if Im wrong,and where did you place the ballast,do I need to do some drilling to place the ballast.

With the kit I am running there is NO modding, cutting, splicing, drilling to any Toyota or HID part needed what-so-ever. :smile:

As for the ballasts, being as the igniters are built in, you have only one simple box to mount, and thats it! I will have to snap off a few pics, and update this post with their locations under the hood. :thumbsup:

Sounds good, I am also curious as to where you mounted the ballasts :confused:

[eco]

Ok,a few more questions before I buy,the new set are the Eagleye's,can you say the same about them,no modding or splicing,and with your set,I understand that you have no high beam,so when you switch to the high beam position,what happens,do your lights go out,and is the set you run still available,I am more then likly going to buy the Eagleye's with high/low from you,if no modding required,please let me know.And I would love to see where/how you placed the ballast.

[eco]

Chris would like those answered before I buy,I know your busy,but Im impatient.

[Chris07LB]

I think I need to put everyone in touch DIRECT with my buddys company that sells them. I answer LOTS of PM's and questions on my FREE time each day for people expecting an answer ASAP..

All questions Pm'd or in this post that have not been addressed yet, will be tomorrow.

[IsLNdbOi]

Again, instead of dealing with a private individual (and possibly not getting any support or warranty), buy it from this store:

http://plasmagarage.com/


It's the same Eagleye kit Chris has on sale. The kits from there cost less WITH the shipping included.

[Chris07LB]

This post needs a little refreshing, as its been polluted lately with FLASE information passed on, then passed on again.

1) I am not the store selling these HIDs, I am only helping to show the H4 fittment in MY Yaris, and all kits would be DIRECT thru my buddy's company in California. People who were SERIOUS and aksed to buy, have been given his direct line at the company and his email address as well.

2) As also mentioned, each kit comes with a one year warranty, and its from a company with great customer service.

3) The H4 kit in the link YOU posted, is NOT an Eagleye kit! There is no small Halogen bulb used for the high beams. Unless they are selling old stock, the latest Eagleye kits I've had in my hands is one complete unit just like the Toyota Prius uses.

The low beam only kits I am talking about are $230 SHIPPED, and the high/lows are $330 shipped.

This thread needs to close, and I will start a completely new one with all the info that has been asked, since this original, non-EagleEye kit, was posted.

FIRST PICTURE is NOT an Eagleye H4 High/Low bulb as shown on the "plasmagarage" site.

SECOND PICTURE IS the Eagleye H4 HIgh/Low!
