auto depot headlights + HID's? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

thebarber · 06-01-2010, 09:44 PM

the halo's are actually pretty dim in real life....i did the wiring for them in the daytime (hooked them up to the 3 LED's on each side) and had to shade each headlight to make sure they were working....

in real life the led's are about as bright as the halo's LOOK and the halos are about half as bright as the led's really are at night...

Interesting....either way it looks bad ass. I'm just waiting a lil bit and then I'll get them =D But what type of bulbs are they. Cuz I just got some HID's (fogs and lows) H4 and H11's. It looked like you guys were saying they take H1's?

the wiring splits the h4 into seperate high and low beams which both become H1

Look good Adam, hope they weather well in our climate!! That's always been my fear of them.

low beams, high beams, 3 led's each side, fog lights and my hella supertone thru the grill.....not to mention the netz badge is round-ish

Too many circles? It sounded like a complain. I'm happy to take them off your hands

I hope they make those lights to fit the '09+ models. I didn't realize there was a difference until after getting my car.

Looks sweet btw!

Those lights look sweet! I am looking forward to seeing them in person at the next Westend GTA meet.

Bad part to those lights as I have found out is the mounting tabs are fairly cheap,got 2 broken in just 4 months and gone through 3 sets of light bulbs.....thinking about going back to stock as I am tired of changing bulbs every 4-5 weeks.

I have these headlights as well and I've seen people use HID on them....you shouldn't have an issue. I thinks its a liability thing with them and in some jurisdictions they are illegal.

i have my drl's unplugged

but my H4 kit has a harness with it, yes. so it could run on drl's (the aveo runs its HID's as DRL's). i also have/sell capacitors in case of flicker - - i had to use it on my mom's 03 malibu...which also uses the HID's as drl's and w/ auto lights

currently, my DRL module is unplugged and the H4's are split into 2 H1 bulbs for low and high. i disconnected my H4 HID wiring harness and just run the H1's directly off the oem wiring.....so now my high beam indicator works again, lol

i found an extra relay harness fr my previous hids.. was thinkin to just using that.. didnt want to disconnect hid cause had someone did that and lost his fogs..
