last night Shao and myself installed our HID Kits (6500K). Fitting them into my car was not a prob, shaos sportivo on the other hand posed some interesting issues. The stock low beam globes in the non face lift corollas have an aditional mounting bracket that connects the the back of the blub as seen below

the problem with the HID kit is that it does not have this extra bracket and as the wires are soldiered onto the HID bulb its not an option to just the mounting thing. So we had to make a spacer somehow, went down to bunnings and got a tube of Plastic SELLEYS KNEAD IT, and I proceded to fill in the gap, after a big ot mucking round I got it to the stage where it looked ok fitted the pic below is during the final stages of shaping it to fit into the socket

So for those of you looking at getting HID's this most likly will be an issue due to the design of toyots headlight fittings. Hope this helps if you have any questions feel free to PM me, ill post up some pics of the cars with the HID's running tonight

I will buy the Techone Kit, because it come with the bracket to hold the bulb. No hassel at all!!!!!

I wouldn't get the Techone kit; I've had so many problems with those, I've had no less than five customers literally throw out their Techone kits to buy my one.

You can't compromise with German and Japanese components in an HID kit... it's worth paying extra for. ;)

Oh yeah. My kit comes with the bracket as well. :P

so does that mean the facelift ones shouldn't have a problem? i'm a bit confused, doesn't northy have a non facelift too?

I've just got my MTEC HIDs and they came with the bracket, so installation was a simple plug and play.

Got a friend how's kit didnt come with the bracket, and he ended up just drilling the stock brackets....

Have to agree with everyone else.. once Ive got the HIDs.. Halegon lights just doesnt cut it anymore...

oh btw, I bought the MTEC HIDs together with a mate and he no longer wants to install it... if anyone is interested. can PM me...

What i used to compensate the gap of the black spacer on the pre-facelift rolla was (and i know this may sound dumb) but go to bunnings and get bath plugs.

Just get a size that will fit will i think i used 32-35mm, not to sure sorry, drilled the middle cut the excess off and they are working perfectly!!!!

I just cut think speaker cable with lots of insulation to size and taped it to the top and bottom to create the spacers where the springs held the bulb in :yahoo:

I couldn't find anything and there was speaker cable near the wall because I'd just installed my full audio system no long ago

      200 series won’t shift past 4th gear

      Hi everyone, new to this forum - refugee from LCOOL. Having read some of the replies, to the best of my knowledge there is no such thing as a minor remap. Toyota in their wisdom have the software in the ECU such that it cannot be downloaded, modified and reloaded. It has to be a complete reload, either stock or modified. All you fellows disconnecting the battery is a good and simple way to try and reset everything but similar results can be achieved by simply disconnecting the ECU. That's the big plug in the firewall passenger side. Meanwhile I may need to start a new topic for the following issues I am experiencing: Had a minor shudder when applying the brakes. Also was somewhat intermittent. Having over 100k on the clock a lot which were done towing a big van, I thought I may have warped a disk. Checked them with a dial gauge but no useful info. Bit the bullet and replaced all 4 with new slotted rotors and pads from DBA. Huge difference in braking. However the shudder has return almost with a vengeance. Thought I fixed the problem when I disconnected the ECU for another unrelated issue. ECU is remapped, car went in limp mode and could not clear it with the scangauge. Problem not fixed and I am lost as to why this is happening. Plan on visiting Berima Diesel later on this year to have the injectors checked and I'll get them to look at the brakes if I still haven't figured it out. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you

      G’day from NSW

      G’day All just got a 2012 (old shape) Corolla Ascent Hatchback Auto. Needs a few things done, it was my Dads who just passed away. Going to install pioneer head unit (basic one really) as a start, then maybe upgrade speakers but I’ll see how the oem ones go, I’ve read I’ll need at least 50w ones for the pioneer. Front inner plastic guards are a bit trashed along with bumper bar, just need to neaten it up a little. cheers Sparky

      Head Unit Replacement for 2010 Toyota Corolla Hatch

      G’day TGA, hope you got this sorted, just about any 2 din would fit. I’m putting a pioneer one in but I’d like to know how to pull the trims apart to fit it 🤨 Every video shows the sedan with a different gearshift with short trims to remove but those 2 lower side ones are 1 piece on the hatch and I’m struggling. Do I need to remove console box to start removing those side piece. Any help cheers Sparky

      Landcruiser 200 GPS

      I am sure many owners of Landcruiser 200s have had the same experience as me where the GPS has led me into the wrong roads. I’ve had two Landcruisers, a 2013 model and currently have a 2021 model. Both vehicles had/have poor GPSs. Even Toyota personnel agree with this. so I am considering replacing it with an after market unit. I don’t want one which relies on mobile phone connection. I am looking at a unit sold by Brummstadt.

      Aurion "wobble"

      Since last year I've been getting quite terrible wheel wobble between 60-70 mph on the expressway. Sort of notice it however way less evident now and again going more slow. Recently got crankshaft belt and flash fittings changed at a repairman I believe that accomplishes great work. This began occurring after I got excessively blissful doing doughnuts in the colder time of year and knock a snow bank tapping a road sign haha... I figured I twisted something in the driver side suspension...lower control arm, tie bar, and so on yet repairman said everything was straight and tight, bushings alright, no spillage on them or swaggers. He said perhaps a wheel arrangement would fix it. I maintain that should do swaggers in any case cause the ride isn't quite as smooth as it used to be. Contemplations? Assuming I get an arrangement would it be advisable for me to do the swaggers first or is that all the more with supplanting the lower control arm? 192.168.100.1 192.168.1.1

      Oil Pipe Leak

      I'd be surprised if they expect you to pay for it as it is a recall issue. Glad it's been checked out before it's too late though.
