Quick, Cheap, and Easy Mod Today.

[Chris07LB]

Got rid of the "fried egg look" on the front end of the Yaris today.

The size is: 7507A from http://xenonmods.com/

They are chromish silver colored, but when signaling, still light up orange. :biggrin:

This inexpensive, quick easy mod really cleaned up the front IMO... :thumbsup:
Blue would have been too rice looking for my tastes

Out of the box...

All lit up.. Still blinks nice and bright, but not as bright as the original bulbs.. that's to be expected, with a coated bulb.

So where did you get them?

[tca4]

Looking nice very orangey

[TRD_Yaris]

Looks good. Just feel lucky that Toyota is past the "lexus amber reflector" stage. back in the day, we use to have to remove an amber reflector to get ride of the amber color in our headlights. Nowadays, all you gotta do is a chrome bulb ...you break my :brokenheart:

[Chris07LB]

So where did you get them?

Real good guy over on eBay. You can email him direct, or even better, visit his site. http://xenonmods.com/ :thumbsup:

[Hyde]

this is like one of the mods that i've been planning to do since the first day i got my car... just too lazy to search for the bulb.... lol

[casterqc]

for those who want to compare...here's a picture of how it looks with the factory bulb....the silver bulb definitly gives a cleaner look.

Really nice....has anyone heard tho if you can remove and replace the amber lense that is on both the sedan and the HB headlamps?

[Chris07LB]

Here is 3 pictures to compare....

1. HIDs / LED Parking Lights / Chrome Bulbs

Hey Chris, where/what kind of HID kit did you get? They look sexy.

[Chris07LB]

Hey Chris, where/what kind of HID kit did you get? They look sexy.

Search the "HID" post.. last page, towards the bottom.. I gave some info the other night.

But quick and to the point, they are Nuxen 6500k H4 HIDs. Right now my GB is $230 shipped in the US on the exact kit. :thumbsup:

[ChinoCharles]

Thanks man, I searched for like 2 minutes because I figured you had posted something about it but my attention span ran out quickly. Go fig.

Thanks for the quick write up. I placed an order. Good, cheap, $13 mod!

[Katana]

Νice idea!

[Chris07LB]

Hopefully you guys are letting him know you saw his product from my post...

[as400g33k]

Wanted to do this mod but the Narva Invisible signal lights costs AUD38/pair. Then I read an easy DIY invisible signal light. Take a normal amber bulb. Scuff up the glass a bit. With silver spray paint, lightly coat the bulb only, not the metal part. Let dry and test it. Its silver when off but lights amber when on. As I already had a can of silver spray paint, it only cost me AUD5.00 for the amber lights.

[manborn]

lookin nice, anything not ricey is :w00t:

awesome! about $13 after searching ebay for 7507A and i get some sexy new clear (looking) turn lights! thanks chris your quite the man.

just installed last night, took about 3 mins, and 2 of that was figuring out how to open the shipping box *(very small). make my lights look 1000x cleaner, the bulb has like a mirror finish to it so it seems invisible. Now if only there was a way to get rid of the yellow side reflectors....

I have them in two of my trucks, and they dont blink as bright, nor orange like this original post. Id say they are closer to a lemon color yellow.

[Violin]

Yep - they aren't a real orangey-orange. I wish I read this thread before I got mine. I think I'll prolly order some of those from xenonmods.

[Doc Zaius]

Can anybody comment on the difference between the ones Chris installed, and the two types offered by Power Bulbs UK? Invisible indicator bulbs (http://www.powerbulbs.co.uk/prodtype.asp?PT_ID=103&strPageHistory=cat)

Chris... do you know what brand of bulbs you bought?

[Chris07LB]

Rob, BOB @ HiLED will have the signal bulbs using their HiLED lights in a few different colors.

Im waiting for those.

[Chris07LB]

Chris... do you know what brand of bulbs you bought?

The ones in this very post? Or the LED parking lights??

[Doc Zaius]

The ones in this very post? Or the LED parking lights??

the ones from your first post... the silver coated ones.

The biggest difference is that they'll fit. I don't think the 7507A is available in the UK market.

The second bulb, the DIADEM is the Philips version of the Sylvania one that I installed (and will be replacing).

[Violin]

The PY21W has offset pins like the 7507 - they may be the same. Ours is the 7507A.

Sylvania bulb types (http://www.sylvaniaautocatalog.com/new_sylvania/ProductBrowse.asp?Batchid=9&FigNumber=17,18,20,24,25,26) The 7507A and the PY21W look to be the same bulb... different names.

Good to know they're the same... makes my decision 100x easier! :wink:

Will be getting Chris' silver bulbs! :biggrin:

Roger that. They may be the same. No matter... I'll get the silver ones from xenonmods.com anyhow.

A number of people here asked about caliper decals. I asked the guy who sells these bulbs about his. He sells a lot of different ones and can make anything else: http://www.xenonmods.com/

[St_G]

Crap. I just ordered from Xenonmods, but I didn't see 7507A, only 7507...did I buy the wrong thing?

[bigsky2]

7507 - clear incandescent
7507A - amber incandescent

You may have bought the clear bulb..

[Doc Zaius]

On the xenonmods.com 7507 page (http://xenonmods.com/silverbulbs7507info.htm), it says "amber when lit". I hope it is... because thats what I ordered too!! :biggrin:

From Rich Calnan @ xenonmods.com:

The 7507 and 7507A are the same bulb, the A just stands for Amber (which you want)

thanks

[Violin]

My mistake - The 7507 and 7507A both use the BAU15S base.

I don't know why, but I thought our 7507A used the BA15S base.

[ASHRAF]

I've ordered the bulbs but they sent me wrong ones

just two too tiny bulbs

any idea where can they be used???

I will order the bulbs next few days

thanx for the easy, cheap, & perfect mod.

[KSIbucky]

would they fit in the license plate lighting

[Chris07LB]

Even if they did fit, why in the world would you want an ORANGE bulb in the liscence plate area? :confused:

[Doc Zaius]

I've ordered the bulbs but they sent me wrong ones

Hey Ashraf! I just got mine today, and he sent me the same ones that you got. Tiny ones. They look like 194 wedge bulbs. Did you resolve this with him? I guess I'll be emailing him tomorrow! :mad:

[St_G]

I got those too. I wonder how that happened.

[Black Yaris]

I have some extra wide angle blue 194 LED's for the front markers &/or licence plate lamps I will sell for cheep

[hasher22]

looks like a majority of people are gettin the wrong bulbs....

i was about to order some, now more reason not to get them cuz stupidity on their half of sending the wrong item.

[Doc Zaius]

I got those too. I wonder how that happened.

On their webpage xenonmods.com, when you click "Add to Basket" on the 7507 page, it brings you to a paypal site with a shopping cart, and the item description in wrong.... it says 194 wedge bulbs instead of 7507. So its a website programming error. I'll email him later and see what can be done for an exchange.

[Chris07LB]

That sucks.. PLENTY have ordered them since my original post without any issues.. Im sure he will work it all out for you guys.

[St_G]

I got an email back from him this morning. Dr. Zaius nailed it. Here's the email:

Andrew - thank you for writing to me about this.

I'm guessing that you ordered from my web site at www.xenonmods.com

The problem is with that. I re-did my site about 3 months ago, and apparently when I did I didn't change the 7507 cart button to display 7507 properly, and it reads the 194 bulbs.

My brother-in-law does all my lighting stuff and I was about to wring his neck, but now I check all possibilities after the last incident (I wrung his neck, then he proceeded to kicked my ass - hahaha - not really)

Anyway - admittedly it is hard for me to keep track of who's who and what happened, but if you could be kind enough to post on your forum that anyone that got the incorrect bulbs send me an e-mail with the following information:

1: their name
2: the Paypal transaction of the order
3: the bulbs they require (7507 in this case)
4: the shipping address

Please let them know as soon as I get this information (ALL of it, not just some) I will send out the right bulbs immediately. As far as returning the 194's, it would be nice if everyone would but since this is my mistake 100% it's not necessary.

thanks so much!
rich

[Doc Zaius]

Good show, St. G. I'm gonna email him all that right now. Sounds like a nice guy. :biggrin:

[St_G]

Anyone get their replacement bulbs yet?

[Doc Zaius]

Nope... was just thinking about that today actually! Weird...

Its been 2 weeks. I think I'll email again.

[eijikikimaru]

Man~ I should have read every page before I ordered my bulbs... I hope it'll go smoothly like it did for ChrisLB07

[St_G]

I sent a followup email on Monday. Still no reply.

[Violin]

It's getting close to the time to get PayPal or your credit card company involved. Dodging emails is not a great sign.

[Doc Zaius]

Sent one yesterday. Nothing either. St G... keep us posted in here.

[eijikikimaru]

Well according to my paypal account, the money was received. Don't know if it automatically receives at their end but if not then that's somewhat of a good sign. I hope...

[eijikikimaru]

Well it's 2:30pm 02/20/07 here in the West Coast (California) and I just recieved in the mail my bulbs. Although the dudes over at Xenonmods.com didn't reply to me w/ an email the products still arrived. =)

[St_G]

They haven't replied to my emails and no bulbs. I'm not going to call my bank over an amount this small, but I'm pretty disapointed with these guys.

[uncleyaris]

there should bea shamed list for us to avoid because of shit like this. I do feel for anyone who spent $

[Chris07LB]

Sucks their service has "gone" in the shitter.. It didnt start out like this.

[uncleyaris]

Chris, off topic. Maybe we should have a do not use list. To identify people who burn Yarii boyz?

[Go4th]

I let it go for a while. Only because I thought it was an icolated thing with me.
I never said anything about my experience.
I guess i will now.
I ordered mine and I never received an email from them either about confirmation of payment or even hey its out for delivery.
I emailed them and emailed them and finally they replied it's been sent out on or about the 20th. How’s that for records?
Well I finally got them some 17 days after payment was sent. They are not concerned with the consumer.
It took days for replies to emails. Heck it could have been multiple emails that finally got him to reply.
Anyways I replied back to him thinking it would be nice for me to let him know I received them 17 days after he said he sent them to me and he never replied. You would figure he would thank me for letting him know or something.
Whelp they are a company that you send money too and just pray you get what you just sent your money for. If you don’t or it’s the wrong product, ohh man… I would not want that to happen, it may never get resolved and he is richer.
I almost thought he is kind of like “thanks for the money and if I don’t hear from you I will not send out the product and maybe I can make some free money”.

[uncleyaris]

this is not acceptable

[St_G]

The really shitty ting is, I still WANT the bulbs. But I don't feel like I can trust them to fill a new order...anyone have a better source for these things?

[St_G]

Huh? Did you read the thread? I ordered them and within about a week I received the wrong bulbs, emailed the guy, got a quick reply on what I (and others in the same situation) should do to get the right bulbs...and then the guy went to ground and stopped replying to emails. And never sent the replacement bulbs. All together, it's been about 6 weeks, I guess.

when did you order it? let it take 3-4 weeks..

[brickhardmeat]

Chris,

Did you ever swap out the rear turn signal bulbs for these? Did it eliminate the orange in the rear or is that in the housing? Also have you changed out your reverse bulbs for something a bit brighter if so what did you use in those? Thanks.

[Chris07LB]

LOL, seems like im 5 minutes behind each of your posts tonight..

Anyway, yes. The front signal bulbs can/will work in the rear. The rear bulbs are orange, the lens is clear.. so yea, same as the front.

[brickhardmeat]

Yeah I'm on a rampage. Well I might just have to get another pair. Won't be as dramatice as the front the way the housing is. I ordered the turns from xenonmods and had -0- issues, got the order fairly quickly.

[ROCKLANDTOYOTA]

i said this in another post but i just used 1156 clears in the fron/rear of the turn signal bulbs.all it took was a slight twist and it went in with no problem.

[Doc Zaius]

Just got back from a month in Europe, and found another package from xenonmods.com waiting for me, with the correct bulb sizes. Yay! Good for Rich and crew. :thumbsup:

St. G... you get yours yet?

[Astroman]

I just now ordered mine. Figured it would look sharp on my Meteorite Metallic LB. :thumbup:

[TheCutsman]

Awesome, definitely alot cleaner looking. Put mine in yesterday, I ordered off the ebay sale and my order was correct.

[Sway84]

whats the diffy from these ones from xenonmods to the autolumination?...

[Black Yaris]

what is the actual bulb # 7507A?... or 1156A? I am going to swap out for some silverstars tomorrow

[njyaris]

kewl 12.99 not bad at all

[brickhardmeat]

what is the actual bulb # 7507A?... or 1156A? I am going to swap out for some silverstars tomorrow

bulb # 7507A is what I used and it fits the front and rear turns, the guy above crammed an 1156 which is the back up bulb into a turn signal from what I gather and says it works, the pins are offset differently if I remember correctly

7507 is the correct size for turn signal bulbs in the hatch

[atarisolid]

I have an 07 sedan s, i noticed that the headlights on mine look different than the ones on the 3DR on the first page of the forum. will these lights still work. and if i were to get them, do i take the amber reflector out of the headlight to install them?

maybe you can use them in the side marker lights. it's not easy to install them, but it will give you the same effect, getting rid of the orangey color in the side marker housings and still blink orange.
