Led headlights?

[Yaris709]

Just wondering if the newer type led's with the heat sink on back will work in the h4 yaris headlights? Since the h4's have that rubber seal around the back of the bulb. And a good bright reputable led if anyone knows what brand is good!

Even more important that brightness - how do these affect the light pattern? Most LED replacements I have seen for other globes have the LEDs covering a different area to the original globe filaments. This can significantly change the pattern of light output. Worst possibility with the headlights is to dazzle other drivers and possibly cause an accident.

I look forward to seeing the photos of the light output.

Thanks. Great photos. I will have to get some of these and try them.

[tmontague]

I'd love to see how they look from an incoming direction. Up close they seem like they have a decent cut off but from any kind of distance they shed a lot of bright light up top even on low beams.

I'm all for brighter lights but in almost every case I've seen anything brighter than oem needs a projector or else they blind other drivers and tell "I do half assed mods to look good but screw other drivers"

They may actually not be bad at all tough to tell though without seeing them in person. They are much better than oem.

So many cars in my area throw in led's or hid's and skip on projectors to "save money" and they make it impossible to see.

Headlamp bulbs are a PITA to replace in a Yaris, and you basically have to take the bumper/cowl partly off. So I would like to only use LED replacements from now on, but just with regular brightness. Is that not possible?

I totally agree with this. I'm currently using these LED bulbs, which are simmilar:(http://www.hidvisioncanada.ca/products/h4-9003-hb2-hs1-hi-lo-6000lm-6g-philips-led-headlight-kit-fanless-with-built-in-led-driver.html) and let me tell you, it's darn near impossible to get a proper cut-off with them.

Check out the picture below of how it looks onwards. Note: Driver side needs allignment. Any DIY guides on how to do this? :frown:

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k137/invader166/20170114_160212_zpsyep9f2ii.jpg

This thing is, reflector housings were never designed for brighter output. The cut-off will always be washy. The same thing will happen if you change your OEM bulbs with brighter halogen bulbs.

If you trully want a poper cut-off, then a projector retrofit is the only real way to go.:thumbsup:

[malibuguy]

Do a proper HID projector retrofit. Anything other then a HALOGEN bulb in a housing designed around a HALOGEN filament and the way it produces light is going to be a downgrade and reduces safety for you and other motorist. You basically paying to downgrade the car.

My favorite halogen bulb that I ran in my sedan prior to HID projectors was the Osram Nightbreaker. Powerbulbs.com sells em for a great price and I absolutely loved them.

However nothing beats properly engineered HID projectors with excellent cut off and more even light beam

Sure one can ...but can be a pain in the ass , I have tried hid kit and it was OK but do to our light assembly it was hard to adjust .
Now with the LEDs I have installed it's perfect no cut off just a nice bright area Infront plus fit like a glove with no modifications .
So, so far LED lights are in my opinion best setup with out doing anything extra , only thing I still have to do is to raise them a bit since I have not done any adjustments after running HIDs so the low beam is bit low .

Hmm, there doesn't appear to be the normal sharp cutoff towards oncoming traffic that H4 lights normally have. Do those LEDs have a partial shield on the low beam like a normal H4 globe?

I have projectors for my HID's with a proper cut off and I properly adjusted the headlight housing for height. I have no issues with there being no light above the cut off, I can see way more than just the road below/in front of me.

I also don't blind other drivers and I've had family members drive oncoming to my car as well as in front of me and both times they have reported having absolutely no blidness from my lights.

Costs me slightly more money and took longer to install by a few hours, but I now have much brifgtee lights than oem that look way better even when they aren't on and I don't cause a hazard to other drivers just so I can have brighter lights.

With the high beams on (projector flipped away) they are damn blinding and hurt your eyes.

Well I'm glad you like your setup and it works for you, most ppl will not have the means or knowledge to retrofit lights.
For my application it was simple plug and play and yes I have them adjusted correctly but honestly with all the new car and HIDs plus LEDs as OEM I could careless if I blind someone cos I get it all the time .
So far this setup works at least for me best with stock Yaris light assembly and no cut off is a major plus in my are where we have hills and curvey roads .

Just my 2 cents on that .

I won't argue with you that the no cut off helps in the roads up in your neck of the woods. I've driven them enough at night in bad conditions and was glad for my HID high beams - which is just hid's w/ not cut off. And yes your LED's are an easy and simple plug and play, no argument there.

My issue is exactly that, if you do not possess the knowledge (nor willing to learn it) or slight extra cash to add the extra lumens properly than it shouldn't be done.

I've been blinded many times by these half assed retrofits and depending on the type of roads/conditions im driving in it can become an issue of safety quite quickly.

The arguments in favor of these installs are always the same selfish stance ignorant to how those actions affect other people on the road. If it was for pure off road puposes with no other traffic I would easily understand, but to simply ignore the effects to others because of the convenience to oneself is selfish no matter what the opinion is.

To each their own, but more of these half assed installs on the roads will be ruining it for the people who have properly installed HID's with projectors so that they can improve appearance and actually see better. It won't be hard to ban non oem spec'd lights down the road unfortunately.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

I'll just give my 2 cents. I just installed Morimoto Elite HIDs (5000k) into my Yaris hatch because I hated the OEM halogens. I really had to aim them down to prevent the light scatter from blinding oncoming traffic (I knew I had to do this before hand). Comparing it to my FR-S with OEM HID projectors (replaced the OEM Osram bulbs with Osram CBI bulbs, more around 5500k with same lumens as the ~4300k OEM), the Yaris has no where near the throw or the spread as the FR-S.

I thought about doing retrofits (as I did with my previous Yaris sedan), but I just didn't want to deal with possible condensation again (but to be fair, I opened the sedan's headlights like 10 times due to various headlight mods). In the future, if I ever decide on going with retrofits again, I'll be getting TRS's mini H1 projectors. They have a better road illumination than my FR-S OEM HID projectors (probably partly because of the D4S bulbs that the FR-S uses).

https://www.theretrofitsource.com/complete-retrofit-kits/universal-kits/bixenon-morimoto-mini-h1-stage-3.html

[Kaotic Lazagna]

And if you don't want to take apart the headlights to do a projector retrofit (but can some how remove that shield/cover thing through the bulb opening), you can use these: https://www.amazon.com/Rover-Projector-Lossless-xenon-Retrofit/dp/B01E79JKM8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1483249143&sr=8-3&keywords=h4-mini-projectors

I would have went with them, but they're built in HID bulbs, and are 6000k (wouldn't want anything more than 5000k unless they're Osram CBI). I wouldn't use anything less than Morimoto bulbs for HIDs, but that's just me.

[tmontague]

Fwiw i only had condesation on one or m'y headlights after m'y original install when i tried reusing thé oem sealant. I then went To Lowes and bought à proper sealant that stays flexible and since then have had no issues in all types of weather and temperatures.

Imo if you don't want to deal with properly sealing them or the potential headache then don't do the mod, or pay for someone else to do it. Or like you did, manually point them down so they don't blind others - however this ends up leading to poor light patterns like you stated which brings me back to my previous point of do it properly or not at all

[Exiwolfman]

Really now ...Have you look at the pics I posted I guess not !
Actually no cut of is safer anyway u look at it and with proper alignment it does not blind ppl in actually I have yet anyone high beam me unlike with my HIDs and cut off.
And as for crashes ... to bright light, maybe we should remove all new cars with OEM LEDs and HIDs cos they are always way to dangerous as you say.

It's just funny how ppl like to state there bloody opinion with out any fact's ...O and here will attach a pic just so you can see what I'm talking about.

Don't get me wrong, they're still better than the halogen bulbs for two reasons, better spread and better (to me) color temp. They can have the same spread, and the 5000k color temp will help me see better (noticed objects tend to reflect the light of cooler colors than warmer colors).

My other post was just to confirm that PnP HIDs aren't going to be anywhere near HID projectors.

I don't think I started having condensation issues until around the 6th time I opened the head lights. I even got new sealant tape from TRS, and that didn't solve the issue, so I gave up. Lol

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Exiwolfman, OEM HIDs and LED projectors were designed around how each type of bulb distributes light (each type has a different dispersion). For example, HID and LED projectors don't have "squirrel finders" that will be a source of a lot of stray light in halogen projectors with HIDs installed in them.

Do you have a thread where you took apart the Yaris headlight and installed the lenses? I don't want to blind anyone, but I want those LED's! I'm no stranger to DIY so hopefully I can just copy whatever you did. I have a 2009 sedan. I hope you don't lose any brightness and/or visibility by using a lens. But I have to have some kind of cuttoff for the beam where I am, because as far as I know its against the law to have lights that blind people and you will get pulled over for it.

Awesome! Let me know how they work out. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on the Amazon Car Rover ones. If anything they have a good return policy at Amazon :biggrin:

From what I understand they only come with 6000k. Amazon sells a kit with the bulbs, ballasts ,and harness relay. The ballasts are 55w, but I was thinking of getting 35w. hmmmmmmm.

874 thanks for your time and efforts in getting the pictures... definitely considering them, just have to get the ballasts and relay's and all the other stuff!!!

[ryryAP2]

@yaris847 they look great! Light scatter isn't as bad as without the reflectors. Any lighting experts can weigh in on the height?

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Park on a level surface parallel to a wall (driver side to the wall). Adjust driver side headlight until the cutoff is on a slight decline (ideal is 1* downward). Then park perpendicular to the wall on a level surface (farther the better to be around 30 feet away). Adjust passenger side headlight so that the top portion of the stepped cutoff of the driver side matches the passenger side's stepped cutoff.

You've just now adjusted your headlights based off your car's ride height so that it doesn't blind on coming traffic.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

So based on 874's third pic down (provided the ground is level, which is hard to tell), it looks like his driver side headlight is at least +10*. Given he's gone for the the double stepped cutoff (top part of the driver side is in line with the passenger side bottom), potentially blinding on coming traffic pretty bad. Again, it could just be that road is going down hill in the third pic.

[Yaris874]

So this is everything I got from ebay except the ballast because I had somehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170307/e3c7cb993dff1b50c2eb338abc6601c0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170307/44d68ca826b5d14df6d58f4b1f6417f4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170307/a542555a1ad8695ac225482dd9498f69.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170307/c0686b2e3a2d07a436579d10f6f941d1.jpg

As long as it ends up being a declined angle. Also decided on a single step vs a double step adjustment?

Sorry. Okay, you know how projectors have a cutoff? The cutoff is comprised of a lower line, slant in the middle, and continues as a higher line, so a single step. When the passenger side's lower line is at the same level as the driver side's higher line, the entire cutoff is comprised of two steps.

That would be a double step.


It's all just preference, but I ended up going to the single step (proper way actually) from a double step. In order for me to not blind on coming traffic at the time, I had to get the passenger side along a parallel wall to be as close to horizontal as possible, and then adjust the driver side down. Well, that sacrificed some throw in favor of shining up road signs, and that just wasn't worth it to me.

Try unpinning the two vertical prongs on the harness (the part that plugs into the OEM connector) and switch the two and repin. Try that to see if it fixes your high beam issue.

[Yaris874]

Ok thanks

[ryryAP2]

@yaris847 was thinking of doing the same setup without the relay. Amazon had similar products, but of course I needed to get ballasts and bulbs. I went with Kensington ballasts and bulbs and iJDMTOy easy relay harness for the bi-xenon.

So you went back with the double step set up?

Also, did switching the prongs help your high beam issues?

I switch the prongs around an the other side star working so I think I need that plug with the relay I got it is on the way

Update on the mini projector installation ?

[ojeysky]

Just wondering if the newer type led's with the heat sink on back will work in the h4 yaris headlights? Since the h4's have that rubber seal around the back of the bulb. And a good bright reputable led if anyone knows what brand is good!

I recently purchased one of these and I am having a hard time fitting the rubber seals. Any suggestions?

[IllusionX]

I recently purchased one of these and I am having a hard time fitting the rubber seals. Any suggestions?I had to cut the 4 nibbles out. You have to install the holder, out the rubber on and turn to lock the LED in place.

Thanks for the hint will do just that. However there seem to be another issue, the hi-beam blue icon no longer show up on my dashboard, is that normal? It normally show up when I used the OEM bulbs.

Update: So it happens that one could turn the cover around to fit instead of cutting it. I have attached picture for anyone who may find this useful.

Just as a follow-up, I returned the osram halogen bulb and the high beam indicator came back on, I then plugged back the LED same thing no more high beam indicator. What could be the fix to this?
