DIY: OEM JDM HID Headlight Conversion - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Thanks dude! I'll give it a shot when the weather warms up again. I don't want to mess with the fuses or anything else because I'm not a very technical guy and don't want to burn anything.

once you're connected and got it working, the fuses will pop itself lol. It wasnt instant, but some days, off it goes. its the low beam fuse, obviously. i havent changed fuses since i upped the amps years back.

I have the same problem with my Rav4 JDM HID Conversion. I heard this will prevent the fuse from popping...https://www.theretrofitsource.com/hd-relay-9006.html

Wow, what a difference between the HID and halogen lights.

Looks like we'll have warm weather for the next 2 weeks. Let me know if you can get one of the headlight apart and shoot the vids for each connecting harness. I only got a few of connecting wires from the first youtube video you put up because of the camera angle.

Thanks

Great, thanks dude! I see you got the auto-leveler...I'm not planning on using that.

i didnt use it either. i'd have to replace one of the switches for one with auto leveling, then route wiring to that leveler thing...yeah dont need it. It's rusting away at a good pace

David C · 02-28-2018, 12:01 AM

So what's the approximate cost to do the conversion ?

enviri · 02-28-2018, 11:18 AM

depends how lucky you are on getting a complete headlight unit, and how patient you are on shipping. the headlights are 30-100 USD on jp auctions. the necessary wiring is a good 50 or so. Assuming that the headlights came with ballast and the bulbs are in there, that's your bare minimum cost+shipping to your home. (ems shipping for these are about 150 to east coast usa)

David C · 02-28-2018, 12:00 PM

Ah, yeah it's a little bit of knowing what you're doing and buying project. Not sure I am committed enough to go that route.

What I really feel that is missing on the Yaris light output is the medium to close range, it's like the beam pattern doesn't light down the road enough and it's not relaxing at times especially in dark rain or poorly lighted roads structures like overpass and access ramps. I really like how much the LED fog light setup of IllusionX fills up the lower parts of the road, I'm thinking I may very well just slap an LED bar in the front grill and carefully select and aim it so it doesn't blind anyone.

What year is your car? I accidentally ordered a pair of post facelift JDM HID headlights that I will sell soon here in the states once the weather warms up and I install the pre facelift headlight in my car. The only thing that is missing is the ballast which you can get off of ebay easily. I can definitely sell it to you if you want to wait little bit.
