The $53.50 eBay HID Kit Installed & Working - Toyota Yaris Forums

The Architect · 12-30-2008, 09:32 PM

So I made myself a guinea pig, plus my buddy had a $70 set from ebay with great results so I went for it.

The kit is a 35W H1 8000K

Heres the pictures and a video as well.

The video was taken with a point n shoot camera so dont be too hasty to call the light output bad because its actually very good.

Half & Half

SAME AS ABOVE EXCEPT SPED UP TO SHOW WARM-UP PERIOD

i wouldnt go w/ 8000k personally...poorer visibility than other colours...

did you end up losing your high beams?

The Architect · 12-30-2008, 09:36 PM

that i did, i thought i ordered the 6000k but i guess i forgot. either way theyre drastically brighter than the 6000k bulbs i had in before, im very happy.

jinxor · 12-30-2008, 09:55 PM

is that a 35W kit or a 55W kit?

The Architect · 12-30-2008, 09:57 PM

35w

55w jumps up to i think $159 on ebay, idk about anywhere else.

jinxor · 12-30-2008, 10:07 PM

can you post a link to the hid page mate... thanks

Kaotic Lazagna · 12-30-2008, 10:08 PM

Looks a tad bit high. Can you aim them down a bit?

Unless the driveway is inclined.

hmmmm...

The Architect · 12-30-2008, 10:16 PM

the difference is drastic, i dont even need my fogs anymore. id recommend them to everyone so far.

Ill give an update should anything change in stability/functionality etc.

Kaotic Lazagna · 12-30-2008, 10:18 PM

Yeah, my HID's are a huge upgrade from the stocks, the Luminics, and the Sylvannia's I had prior to it. Although, since I don't have projectors, it's a bit glar-ie, so I had to aim them waaaay down.

GreenSpeed · 12-30-2008, 10:58 PM

I just picked up a set of the depo lights like yours. I'm sure there's a thread about it somewhere, but was the install simply mounting the ballast, connecting wires and replacing the stock bulb with the Xenon bulb?

Well done on the videos and pics!

The Architect · 12-30-2008, 11:12 PM

keep in mind i no longer have my high beams, then again it should also be noted that the projectors reach pretty high up while also not blinding any oncoming traffic.

the install was very straight forward, swab the bulbs, plug in the power and ground to the stock harness...and your golden.

Yaris Palme · 12-30-2008, 11:19 PM

i don´t like this HID Kits..... This kits are flashing the other drivers in front of you so much...... for the other driver it looks like he is looking direct into the sunlinght.

The Architect · 12-31-2008, 12:11 AM

not with the projectors, the cutoff is great and ive never been high beamed/flashed/etc. for any stray light.

Kaotic Lazagna · 12-31-2008, 12:37 AM

To prove non-believers wrong, I've seen people take pics of their lights behind another car (parked) to show where the cutoff is at.

89GLH · 12-31-2008, 06:55 PM

theres the reason aftermarket HID kits are illegal in some states. For $1 I bet the stock lights light better.

The Architect · 12-31-2008, 07:02 PM

lol

haha
