All we ask is that you do not join the droves of lazy ill informed folks out there putting HID bulbs in their halogen housings in the name of being cool. This is not only a hazzard but a complete waste of money since the useable light you will get will be no better than the halogen bulb you yanked.

What about my sedan's fog light housing...I've debated upgrading them to the HID yellow, while leaving my headlights stock halogen. Will that look weird? thanks.

the only thing i would think since you would be doing 3000k yellow, is the color of the hid will look alot more brighter and richer then a regular bulb.

yes thats the correct size for the headlights, not sure about fogs. remember do this because you want to, remember everyone on here will try and flame you. i did it , and im content with the looks and the visbility of the hids in the halogen headlamps.

Any one know where these projectors came from? I found the picture on www.slickcar.com and it appears to be a 2012 to me. Slickcar doesn't sell them from what I can tell.

you probably didn't put the dust cover back on correctly and its letting humidity in. try readjusting the dust covers.

Anyone know if Toyota USA will import the headlights and taillights or perhaps a 3rd party that does? Projectors and LED taillights, genuine Toyota parts too. Also, any clue if they will fit my US Yaris? Also, I wouldn't mind the front bumper too, it looks sweet.

can you get at pictures of the discoloration of your headlights? i've been using HIDS in my yaris for about 2 months of or so now, and the headlights still good normal.

Just some info for you guys,while projectors are better, some jdm vitz(specifically the RS and GS)come with HIDs standard and the housing is the same halogen housing no projector so I believe if installed and focused properly we should not have any blinding issues with or fellow road users

thats interesting to know, i still have had no problems with my HIDS in my halogen headlights, the visibility is good even at longer ranges, even though some say you can't see past 5 feet in front of you
