which HID would you want? - Toyota Yaris Forums

cali yaris · 08-07-2009, 12:39 AM

This poll is for those of you who would consider an HID kit for your car.

There has already been plenty of discussion about whether or not to do this mod.

I would prefer just feedback between the two choices.

Would you want an HID kit with a halogen high beam, for about $80?
Or, would you rather have a true HID both high and low beam kit, for about $20 more?

90tsi · 08-07-2009, 12:49 AM

after having both types of kits. i wouldnt go back to just low beam..

Kaotic Lazagna · 08-07-2009, 01:23 AM

Already having HID lows and halogen hi's, I wish that I had just paid less and gotten HID lows and no hi's. The halogen hi's are horrible. My foglights do a better job than them.

But for 20 bucks more for both low and hi HID's, I'd save up for that.

i'd like to have the bixenon HID projector retrofits you were bringing in!!!!!!!!!!!!! what the fartttttttttttt :P

HID both high and low FTW. Sometimes I have to drive through unknown areas in the pitch dark, so every last Kelvin of light helps

Plus it'd be nice to hi-beam the drivers of SUVs in front of me, just to see how they like it

1NZYaris1 · 08-07-2009, 03:02 AM

I would go for True HID HI & Low ,
do you need a test car

both..

hid w halogen..i can make the halogen as daytime running lights by switching to high beam since canada need drl..hid at night

hid bi-xenon had to keep hid running all the time but i get brighter high beam..

Garm,
Throw the true hi/low HID's into some blacked out '08 LHD sedan projectors with a hook-up compatible with the OEM harness and you'd be my American Idol.

vten · 08-07-2009, 09:49 AM

bi hi/low hid would be my choice ..., but make sure the blue high beam indicator is working too

lilredrocket · 08-07-2009, 10:24 AM

I want to get some eventually but would want HID for both!!

cali yaris · 08-07-2009, 11:28 AM

ok cool, seems pretty clear that people would rather have HID xenon for both low and high beams.

battleversiontc · 08-07-2009, 06:15 PM

its a better look then the dual stock bulb color and a nice hid look its better to stick to hid all around

cali yaris · 08-07-2009, 06:37 PM

25 to 2 -- LOL, done and ordered, thanks everyone!

my bulbs actually just reposition themselves in the casing and redirect the light beam to give the high beam. its crazy you can hear them moving back and forth. i was like wtf when i 1st tried them out. its actually pretty cool.

Black Yaris · 08-07-2009, 07:53 PM

so where do we pre-order?
I would like to pay for 2 sets

arunto · 08-07-2009, 08:02 PM

i'd personally go with bi-xenons.

Kioshi · 08-08-2009, 12:42 PM

Is this why you waited on getting back to me about the HIDs i wanted to buy from you Garm? ;)

If so, I'm down for HID hi's and low's as well....
