Quick, Cheap, and Easy Mod Today.

Got rid of the "fried egg look" on the front end of the Yaris today.

The size is: 7507A from http://xenonmods.com/

They are chromish silver colored, but when signaling, still light up orange.

This inexpensive, quick easy mod really cleaned up the front IMO...
Blue would have been too rice looking for my tastes

Out of the box...


Installed. Sorry for no before pictures, just go look at your own!


Closer..... and even closer.



All lit up.. Still blinks nice and bright, but not as bright as the original bulbs.. that's to be expected, with a coated bulb.


Enjoy.

Looks good. Just feel lucky that Toyota is past the "lexus amber reflector" stage. back in the day, we use to have to remove an amber reflector to get ride of the amber color in our headlights. Nowadays, all you gotta do is a chrome bulb ...you break my

Search the "HID" post.. last page, towards the bottom.. I gave some info the other night.

But quick and to the point, they are Nuxen 6500k H4 HIDs. Right now my GB is $230 shipped in the US on the exact kit.

Chris,

Did you ever swap out the rear turn signal bulbs for these? Did it eliminate the orange in the rear or is that in the housing? Also have you changed out your reverse bulbs for something a bit brighter if so what did you use in those? Thanks.

LOL, seems like im 5 minutes behind each of your posts tonight..

Anyway, yes. The front signal bulbs can/will work in the rear. The rear bulbs are orange, the lens is clear.. so yea, same as the front.

Thumbs up

Yeah I'm on a rampage. Well I might just have to get another pair. Won't be as dramatice as the front the way the housing is. I ordered the turns from xenonmods and had -0- issues, got the order fairly quickly.
