Retrofit Projector Headlights FINISHED! - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

The Architect · 09-08-2009, 08:16 PM

also his halo seems to actually light up like beemers etc, the halos on the depot and ebay headlights are absolute crap and you cant even tell they're on.

Are these the kit that Garm sells?

PETERPOOP · 09-08-2009, 09:47 PM

You gotta try them out in the dark. I went for a drive last night and they performed great. Absolutely
no glare. I'm actually think about putting in my 5000k bulbs to see how it looks.

PETERPOOP · 09-09-2009, 04:12 AM

Well seeing I've never had HID lights before, I can't compare these to anything else. However, they do light up the road very well and light up road signs hundreds of feet infront of me. I've never noticed if my stock bulbs did that? Anywho, here are some pics...

Cut off....

808_Yaris · 09-09-2009, 04:24 AM

I was always thinking about eyelids, but I know that it would cover almost all of my turn signal bulb. Now that I don't have my reflective chrome to enhance the turn signal bulb, I don't know if it'll even show that much.

Besides that, 95% of the eyelids i've seen don't form perfectly to the headlight. There are always spaces and gaps. Also, the paint never seems to match either! lol.

The nicest ones i've seen ( i think ) are on kaotic's sedan.

Crandall · 09-09-2009, 02:58 PM

I had HID's in my stock headlamps and they were alright but there were dark spots. If I was to do it again I'd one hundred percent to a retrofit.

Great work by the way, they seems to have turn out great.

Actually, the latest model dealt with all the gaps and it fits the headlamps perfectly (I know this because I made them).

The paint issue is not related to the product, since they are sold unpainted.

I really think those headlights would look great with eyelids.
