Slam the back to the ground and build our first Yaris Lowrider.

Thanks man, yeah it's a shame. I guess these things happen every now and then though.

There is a part of me that wants to make this happen!

Change of plan again! Turns out I'm not shipping them back to the retrofitters. It's going to cost me £400 to send so that's not happening. Going to have to open them up myself with the help of a cardboard box oven (no other choice) and hopefully you awesome guys' tips.
Just wondering. Once the headlights are opened, what could I potentially be looking for with regards to things popped off or broken or missing which could be causing these things to fire too low? Thanks guys

Update. Projectors opened and reset. I think the issue was that the adjustment screws were at their limit and the clip at the end was too loose and it was just falling off. I reset them and clamped the clip to hold it firmer. This is the result now which I am very pleased with. Much more height and actually usable!! This photo was taken on my drive which is just about wide enough for the car so you can see where the cutoffs would be.
A question about the step on the projector though, where should I be aiming that step? As you can see the left side is almost straight on and the right hand side is off to the right, you can see the step on the wall. Thanks guys :)

やりすぎだ~

Fantastic fix! Make sure you're able to seal it up good or you'll encounter some condensation inside. Some were able to prevent condensation with moisture absorbing silica gel packs inside the headlight.
The cutoff points should be the same distance apart as your headlights are. It's like looking straight forward and marking it the same distance 25 ft away. Hard to explain. I hope this helps. |

Thanks for the reply. That's a great photo explaining what it should be like haha! Almost got it sorted. Annoyingly I think the right hand side has fallen down again so it may be another case of opening it up and resetting it once again and clamping that clip tighter!! It'll be worth it in the end I keep telling myself. Will try to get photos of it all done and complete and finally put this to bed :)

Finally complete!
Ha, thanks :) should have added ''give up and throw a tantrum after seeing these projectors'' onto the list but I'm glad I didn't.
Another update, the lights are finally reset and levelled, aligned the best as I possibly could and are on the road! Absolutely worth the work on these things. The light output is great, could not be happier with them! Will try to get some photos of them tomorrow and post them on here. It's good finally getting something done. On to the next part of the list! As always, you guys on here stepped up wit the replies and help. Much love to Yaris World!

Photos. Finally!
About 20 years ago I promised some pictures of the retrofit. Here's some...kinda.
I decided to go out this evening and get some mood shots of my car seeing as though it's been a bit foggy here and the light cutting through the mist looked awesome on the drive home. Now the madness of Christmas is over I will get some nice daytime photos of this too :) Here's some MASSIVE photos thanks to Photobucket. Hope you guys enjoy. Merry Christmas to you all.

Those stars as the backdrop to the car/lights make it well worth the 20 yr lead time.

Ha thanks! Glad you like them. Truth be told, it's only in the dark to mask the fact the car is unacceptably dirty at the moment...daytime photos coming when I get off my lazy butt and clean it. Happy new year all!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Supertones while-u-wait
Finally took the beast to get a wash today and decided to fit my Hella Super Tones while I waited for my lowering springs and Plasti Dip to arrive :) They did not arrive today so another day of waiting at the window for the big truck of happiness tomorrow.
Couple of iPhone shots below. Loving them! Man these things are loud.

Yeaaahhh boyyyy! Spent the last two hours just making strange sounds at the sight of the wheels getting darker and darker. Excited sounds but still sounds that only a car can bring out of you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
