Sorry Violin..(btw its not sealed yet) so dont worry..will take it out tomorrow and fix aiming..

aiming blows....
But looks is very very aggresive..I even get a cool signal effect since they all black..

I'll manage to fix the aiming tomorrow night..just came from *yawns* work so I'll video tape the whole thing on how sexy it is....g nite!

Edit: bad news was headlight were crossed ><. good new is I think I fixed it.
bad news is driver headlight still looking down..will figure out a way to fix it just like I did to the crossed eyes.
bad news is its getting rain and got work in NY tomorrow...I'll try doing something early tomorrow morning if its not raining and do some aiming before sun rise.

Painting the headlight is the easy part.
Will do a video on me taking my headlight apart and painting it (I'll not paint mine, will show what I used), that way it gives an idea on a how to.
Its very simple, the baking headlight is sort of fun...u can even give it to ur lil sis to do it.
The part that gave me hte most stress is the fitman (Violin's fun part)
You will definitally need to shave a lot of things to fit your headlight since grr hey I'll try and put a DIY projector (FX)...not fun unless u like cutting metal.

Yea, digging those eyes, blacked out looks really nice... might have to reconsider HID's just didnt like the whole non projector look.

I HATE THAT! oh well, at least your Yaris looks more aggressive, and will soon have HID's. heh, like i told you, i'm too broke to get HID's, especially retro-fitted ones.

It will all be worth it when you're done.

You'll be driving along in bad weather watching people wander about the road because they can't see the lines and you'll have no problem.


Didn't I tell you about a month ago that retro-fitters really earn their money? Its not easy!

Yea your right.

Yes I did drive with my mess up aiming last night...in a very dark old high way and surely did highlight hte road..so clear and mean looking :D

Quick set of questions not sure it if was already answered on another topic. Are all projector the same size if your get it from a bmw, subaru, audi etc? Also can you fit a bi-xexon hid kit in that projector? Thanks May try some day to do it once Blenjar show how to correct an aligment the light cuz i'm sure it will happen to me. Thanks

Will do.

-- Not all projectors are the same size. Some may be almost the same.
-- Bulb of a Projector is D2S, bulb of a HID kit is D2R, from knowledge, they do not mix, so no.
