update...
I found some e46 ballast/ignitors and some bulbs. Looks like I'll have everything I need to do this retrofit minus finding some shrouds and making the relay harness.

Where can I get/How can I mod my housings to have the LEDs like this. I was looking at seeing how mine would look with just replacing the bulbs with LEDs, but this looks so much better. |

check honda-tech.com where HIDs are very popular on non-HID equipped cars You will quickly find out about the MANY issues you will have..including EXTRA negative attention from the cops espcially if you're running 6000K+ bulbs (come on, people..4300K is near crystal clear!!). but, to each his own..i agree that Silverstars will never be "QUITE" as bright as a good HID Xenon...but total light output is not everything, it's about getting that light to the roadsurface that's important and a simple "plug and play" xenon retrofit will not look like "OEM HID kits". You can spend $300+ on a good HID kit, or $25 on a set of EXTREMELY high end bulbs by THE BIGGEST NAME in Electric bulbs...SYLVANIA.. again, to each his own. but, if i was gonna drop $300+ just on headlights i would still be driving my lexus . Most of us are here because we've already learned that there IS a certain amount of "cost efficiency" that was necessary enough to buy a yaris You might as well put on $2000 JDM wheels, limited slip differential, Turbo charger, Supercharger (yes, dumb@sses, you can put both on at same time , check old Group B racing for details), NOS, Tein suspension on there..but then you're gonna be in Mitsubishi EVO IX and WRX STi price territory for a Yaris |

ack..i've been CORRECTED..they did start making the Sylvanias with a blue film on it !! damn you, Sylvania!! you and your ricer ways!!
I'm looking at a set of the Osrams, or a set of those hi/low Xenons that Chris07LB is raving about. chris, you seem to know your stuff when it comes to electrical, did you have any issues with mounting the ballasts? what size fuse comes stock on the Yaris headlight?

osram:
Sylvania: I wouldn't state something that I wasn't sure about. TUV standards are much more strict than DOT standards... Meaning something that is manufactured to TUV standards is made with tighter tolerances and better quality materials than something that is DOT approved. Hence European headlight assemblies actually being glass while NA gets shitty plastic units. |

I haven't seen that packaging on the Sylvanias...but that picture does disturb me I'm gonna go buy a few stores this week and verify this. I bought a dual pack of 9006 and there is no blue film.maybe it's a difference between an H and 900_ series bulbs or just a recent change that i wasn't aware of. Sorry i jumped down your throat, now i'm just pissed at Sylvania for jumping on the trendy-blue-but-not-HID bandwagon.
I just found out that they are now selling "lexus" in Japan now...times do change... i'm gonna have to remember to order those "Osram silverstars" next time i need a few sets. Do you know of a good place that sells 'em?

Here is an interesting link on headlight bulbs.
http://www.danielsternlighting.com/t...good/good.html The best headlight bulbs in his opinion: -Osram Silver Star (not Silvania) -Narva Rangepower+50 -Ge Night Hawk -Philips VisionPlus -Tungsram Megalight Premium There is some good information on automotive lights (blue bulbs, extra white, hid, etc) on this website, it looks 99.9% credible in my opinion. |
