Ask Vrwm he even shows how to remove the bumper on a 2012 yaris se http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37278

i dont think removing the front bumper is necessary for a bulb change. im just trying to confirm the bulb size before i order a set of HIDS i just read via a toyota PDF that the correct size is 9003.... i just was told for a second time that we just H4 size bulbs... im a tad confused here now...

can anyone who has actually changed out their lights to HIDS chime in to confirm the actual bulb size?

the stock headlights are fine. hids are lame and for blinding oncoming traffic. do it properly and do a projector retrofit.
either yourself or get someone to do it for you, pm thebarber he has kits and can do it for you.

im going to do a projecter retrofit on a car thats 3 weeks old????and theres barely any aftermarket support on this let alone anyone who actual has done anything to the new model? naw bro....
HIDS are not only for looks but also better visibility while driving. im not one of those people who put the ridiculous looking purple or blueish color ones on either. im one for more of an OEM looking white colored ones.

5000k? thinking about doing that too or something less like 4300k. It's a simple plug and play which I can do. I'm not so sure about taking my whole headlight assembly apart and sending it away... I still need it to drive!

4300k is pure white, best visibility, no yellow tint whatsoever
5000k whiter, slight blue tint
6000k white to blue.

3000k are for fogs, pure yellow.
H4 = 9003 = same size

I run with 6000k and their perfect because I dont like the blue to purpleish look.. Only with a tint of blue.
and you might have to remove the bumper a little to get to the screw to pull out the headlight unit unless your hands can fit behind the bulb but its much easier and less painful if you just remove the headlight. Thats what I had to do

Nice, just ordered mine. I have small girly hands... so I won't need to take off the bumper. It's what God gave me. Don't hate.

Ha thats what i thought too (Im 18 and only 5'6") My hands are small but still couldnt get back there just because of the spring that held the bulb in the housing. But good luck youll love em!!

4300k is an oem looking setup, white with a hint of yellow
5000k is pure white
6000k is white with a bit of blue

i sell HID's, i know the colours...

i only run 4300k and 5000k in my cars...with 3000k (yellow) fogs

i also do projector conversions (and/or sell the kits)

the funny thing is, the whiter you go the brighter they are. another lost cause.
