Mines a 2007 HB.

I installed LED H4 bulbs and Morimoto XB fog lights two weeks ago and now I'm doing a lot better on lighting. Thanks for the offer tho.

fog lights help immensely in that range. I have the morimoto XB LED fog lights, never looked back.

What do you think of these ? I'm not familiar with what's real and what's gimmick in terms of projectors and lights, but I'm thinking it could be nice if its a real HID projector setup ?

the extra ground is needed for the parking light (little bulb), so an extra wire goes from the ground for that parking light to the chassis.

I wouldn't do that, there is a reason the fuse is at 10amp. You have to ground it properly. Did you try enviri's suggestion? I didn't get a chance to install my headlights yet because of the weather and school.

enviri · 03-25-2018, 08:12 PM

12.5 or 15. I went with 15. CTScott recommended against it for fire hazard, but its the only way for my headlights to stay working...and its been years since i changed it with no issue. no flicker, no premature blown anything.

Thats the one I order, but seen your videos the cover of the ballast from my headlights are much bigger. I put this one but they are small.

In the pictures, that is the ballast that came in the headlight.

if that's the case you might have to stick with those or maybe look into whatever the prius used in 2006.

Japan 08/2000-07/2006 TOYOTA CELSIOR UCF3* 81-01: HEADLAMP

At last, my headlights are working. Here are photos of the outpug. The firts are lows, the second are the highs. I tell you, is the best output I see.

Hey Enviri,

I just got to installing my JDM headlights today...After taking the passenger side headlight out, I find that I ordered the wrong female 3 prong plug! Should have been a male 3 prong plug! The other thing I realized is that after accounting for all of the harnesses, I'm left with 2 unplugged harnesses and I remember your vids only had the brown harness that was left unplugged. So then I realized that I'm missing the parking light plug altogether. This leads me to 3 questions I have for you...

1) What is the part number that I need to order that will plug into the parking light harness on the car side?...From your video's I see that it is a 2 prong male connector.

2) Why do I need the extension cable again? I don't see where it is needed as all of the wires and harnesses are tucked into the big black HID cap housing.

3) Can you confirm the exact ground wire that I'm tapping into in post # 20 in the last picture?...Is it the HID wire, parking light wire or high beam?

Thanks
