Camell bought them from Garm. He's the first to get them for the sedan from Garm. Garm still has his retro fit projectors for his LB (he's still selling them I believe).
OP: Projectors are always nice. Too bad for the amber reflector. Guess it's always safe to be legal.

Well, this is maybe a newb question but...even if you have retrofits, isn't the housing still a problem for the reflection of the light?

Not really. The projector negates the need for the reflective housing.

It's pretty simple. Take off the bumper, then the headlights. Take out the bulbs. Take apart the headlight, by either the oven method or the hair drier method. Screw in the projectors. Put the headlights back together and reseal very well with some window sealant, again either oven or hair drier. Plug in harnesses into the ballast and adjust cut-off as needed. That should be the general outline. Mike can give more details if needed.

Ah, just don't think about it, and be optimistic. hehe. You can also have a Yaris member near you help you.

Camell, did you try to connect the parking/pole light wires to the harness provided from the JDM headlight? this projector deserved an "Angel Eyes"! don't let them wasted! :)
JeremyG

hmm I have a plan. But be prepare to sacrifice your OEM wiring. (if anything goes wrong, an electric tape shall repair the whole thing :D)
Take this OEM harness (as pic below) and cut the pole light wire to expose the inner part...

then connect them to the harness provided with the JDM housing...

I'll try them on my car this Saturday but if it really helps... you owe me a cup of tea! :D

Oh, hehee, I was thinking it was simple since I don't really have a problem opening and resealing my headlights. haha, I guess I got overly excited in posting. Anywho, GL to those who will be attempting this.
Oh, and that sucks about the adjusting part.

he avoids that topic. same with the fabric to match the clazzio seat covers that would go on the door panels. :tongue:

Yeah I picked up my extra lights off of ebay. You may not need them but if you have never done it I would highly suggest to get some. I got mine for like $50. From the dealer they are like $260 a piece. Make sure garm has those projectors before you buy some lights. I feel confident that you can do this, I just want you to know about the problems I had.
Yeah for my sake i get it right the 1st time that would be sweet.
Peter I am going to take a picture of the wheels and you can tell me

Camelll, I've done my retro for the projector. CCFL rings works just like what i've mentioned on previous page by simply connect the two wires together. Very happy with the light beam and the cut-off was superb!!!! Here's some pic.
