My 6500k H4 HID Review [pics] - Page 4 - Toyota Yaris Forums

*Chris07LB* · 09-28-2006, 06:52 PM

High/Low's require NO MODDING/CUTTING Etc. of your housing..

Difference between the single low beam, and high/low beam H4 kits, is the high/low base of the bulb is extended (longer) then the single.

This, again, is like the HID/xenon used on the Toyota Prius. When engaging the high beams, the actual bulb itself, "snaps" back and up, to project the light "up wards."

I need to gather up all my post reply's, as Im repeating myself over and over..

Go to this site to see more about the kit Chris is selling:

http://plasmagarage.com/

You'll see pics. of the ballasts, harnesses and the high / low beam HID bulb used in the kit. Also, their price for the kit that does high / low beam is $328.75 shipped via 2 day UPS.

I'll probably buy the kit from them and then replace the ballast that the kit comes with, with some Denso ballasts that Toyota uses in their other cars.

I noticed that this resembles an HID ballast location for our headlights *OEM fitment* as well as the D4R classification implanted in the back of the headlight*hid bulb* also."

Did you notice these square spaces for the ballasts in your LB?

PM me for lower prices then that site.

Here's how the high/low kit looks.. notice the difference in bulb base, compared to the single H4 bulbs.

Again, that site is NOT where you would be getting your kits from, nor would the price be that expensive!

got ya...well, i installed my lights this afternoon, im just waiting till it gets dark here in cali, so i can take some pics...

FoEKuZ · 10-01-2006, 07:02 PM

not much of anything....but at least i took the picture....

Violin · 10-01-2006, 08:34 PM

I'm thinking of getting the 5200k intead of the 6000k or the 7000k he has in stock.

Am I right that the light will be better focused and less likely to attract unwanted attention from the cops?

IsLNdbOi · 10-02-2006, 12:14 AM

The higher the k rating 6000+, the bluer to more purple the light becomes. That would attract cops. I'd get something between 4000 - 5000k.

Violin · 10-02-2006, 06:32 AM

Thanks.

most factory cars come equipt with 4000K. Besides the higher you go is more for looks then actually visibility. Yes it'll still be bright, but the distance of the beam will be shortened.

EagleEye and SmartEye are essentially the same brands.
They are manufactured by Guangzhou Hinux Electronics Co., Ltd.

Yes, you guessed it, that is a Chinese manufacturing company.
Nothing to fear, as SmartEye/EagleEye kits are good quality from what I've read and heard.

With the kit I am running there is NO modding, cutting, splicing, drilling to any Toyota or HID part needed what-so-ever.

As for the ballasts, being as the igniters are built in, you have only one simple box to mount, and thats it! I will have to snap off a few pics, and update this post with their locations under the hood.

Sounds good, I am also curious as to where you mounted the ballasts

Ok,a few more questions before I buy,the new set are the Eagleye's,can you say the same about them,no modding or splicing,and with your set,I understand that you have no high beam,so when you switch to the high beam position,what happens,do your lights go out,and is the set you run still available,I am more then likly going to buy the Eagleye's with high/low from you,if no modding required,please let me know.And I would love to see where/how you placed the ballast.

eco · 10-09-2006, 10:05 PM
