Thats about the price they go for really. People actually get scared when they say to them it has a 1.8 liter engine. But i will tell you this, they are the most reliable Yaris of them all. The TS/RS did not even fall in the category of the cars recalled and all. Good choice and good buy! Just take care of it now, you have a jewel there and Im almost sure it will become a classic! Not too many around and people notice them a lot!!!

Well, sounds like you were ready for it! LOL. I have thought about installing the HID kit as well, but always been scared of having problems with the wiring and damaging the internals of the headlights. But cool, your car will look great with all the add ons.

Cheers, i had a MR2 Roadster 2 years ago and the lights seem very similar so fitting will be easy, plus the battery is at the front this time

Normal bulbs are 55watts, H.I.D Kits start at 35watts so don't get as hot as a normal bulb so you won't damage the headlight, the ballast is the bit that gets hottest.

I have brought 35w 8000k H4 BI-XENON

I will post some pics up once i have done anyway so you can see.

Every car i have owned i have fitted H.I.D kits, can't go without them lol

Here's the link if you want to read more

How good are those HID kits? I had bought a phillips kit when I had my honda integra type r, they were quite expensive, and this ones seem cheap in comparison, LOL.
