OEM Toyota HID Headlight Assembly - Where to SOURCE? - Toyota Yaris Forums

bigsky2 · 12-18-2006, 01:28 PM

Not wanting to take the HID conversion kit route, I'm looking for the OEM Headlight Assembly from Toyota for the Vitz RS / S-Limited editions.

Anyone overseas know where to source these?
Japanparts.com doesn't offer these

Those would have cutoffs for a right hand drive vehicle (beam higher on the left). You'd have to modify them somehow.

bigsky2 · 12-18-2006, 02:06 PM

Someone mentioned that the lights where fully tilt controlled?

Violin · 12-18-2006, 02:55 PM

I believe that means up and down, not a switchable cutoff.

Eventually someone may start selling retrofitted assemblies on eBay.

bigsky2 · 12-18-2006, 02:58 PM

I'm all for retrofit - but you first, I insist.

What are you material are you planning to use to seal the housing and keep the projector in place?

I thought I had the adds with me but there are two companies in the PASMag issues I have that sell H4 high-low HID retro fits, one being CATZ and I cant find the other. The kits sell for 4-$500 I believe which is pretty steep but its all plug and play AND is high/low.

Violin · 12-18-2006, 04:30 PM

Plug and play would not include proper optics - projectors.

These are like the ones I'm putting in mine:

bigsky2 · 12-18-2006, 06:28 PM

Looking forward to seeing this.

Might inspire me to go with a retrofit afterall.

But then I said the same thing when I saw Pascal's Q45 gattling gun style retrofit in his 1st gen Vitz, and I never followed through

The Q45 projectors are awesome looking, and would probably fit in even the new headlights... but you'd lose your hi-beams. As for the JDM headlights, it wouldn't be possible to modify them, the cutoff is designed into the reflector, so unless you're really good with math and engineering and you just so happen to have some injection molding equipment, you probably wont be able to change the cutoff, they are reflectored HID, not projectored. I think a better route would be a bi-xenon projector retrofit.

Saw one set selling on Yahoo auction JP, asking for 130,000 yen, that's like $1300 CAD, crazy!

Violin · 12-18-2006, 09:34 PM

The Q45 projectors are really cool looking, but the optics are pretty sucky. The only ones I've found are expensive as hell too. They would look really good on the Yaris though.

eTiMaGo · 12-18-2006, 10:18 PM

I can get the OEM ones here, but damn pricey, around $1000 , plus the shipping, it's gonna be painful.

paultyler_82 · 12-19-2006, 01:13 AM

The OEM hid isn't worth it... projectors always have better patterns and less glare than HID reflectors, not to mention, the JDM units will have incorrect cutoff for most of us, since we drive on the other side of the road.

Yeah I just thought of that myself, so it'd be pretty useless unless you take perverse pleasure in blinding oncoming traffic

Violin · 12-20-2006, 06:36 PM

Here are those Q45 projectors you want bigsky2 - complete with bulbs and ballasts.

Damn that's tempting.

those things are awesome looking.... now if only I could figure out a way to stuff that and a hi-beam on a Yaris...
