Nice mate that's really bright 8000K!  How much did you pay for it?

Zee

Paid $450 for them, it's the best price I could find in Sydney :)

Was that a typo???

Did you say it's was $460 when you PM me before??

:(

It was $450 plus $10 shipping. so if you pick it up from my friend, it will be $450

If you look closely at picture 6, you'll see that I still have the original parking light in yellow light bulb.

I'm hoping to replace those with white or Blue LED's so they match the color of the HID. :D

Oh, buddy.....please dun choose blue....I know it's cool....even myself I also like blue......but.....the POLICE will pick on you :ph34r: :o

It's true.... one of my friend had a blue parking light before...was picked by the POLICE. And I had another friend who drove a Civic, he had replaced the rear Honda "H" badge with the one which have blue light "H" ......he was picked by police !!! The officer said.....no BLUE light outside your vehicle....!!! Fortunately, the officer gave a chance to my mate...and tell him not to do it anymore, otherwise he would be paying for a ticket :o

hahaha. You make the cops sound like nazis! :D i just can't see the problem within having blue lights outside your car. i had the blue led park lights but 1 of them blew after only 1 week. I've got the philips blue vission. they come with white parking lights. :)

Ooh, nice HID's btw, KT. :P

Yeah.....qkslvr, I'm also with you....I personally dun see any problem with the blue LED.....

but in fact, the police really DID picked on two of my friends who both have blue light outside under two different circumstances.

Maybe it's because those officers had got a bad day or being scolded by his commander or whatever :P ....when they see something which is abnormal, they just pick on you coz the officers had bad mood. :unsure:

So, just to avoid those trouble ~ :blink: I think white is not a bad choice for parking light... :D . My idea is just don't give a chance for the police to pick you ;)

Say, if in one evening, you were planning to have some fun driving or crusing, the police pull you over on the road, how bad would it be?? That will destroy your mood of the driving and you may need to explain to the office and beg for a 2nd chance......I think it's just not worth....... :D and too trouble..... :(

Anyway, just personal expression and thinking to share with you guys only...... :P :D :lol:

Btw, what is nazis.....I'm not an english native speaker... :P

Yeah. :lol: :P sorry i wasn't very clear. I had the blue LED lights that glowed blue. looked pretty cool. but then one blew after only a week. they were only $10 a pair but it kinda turned me off them so I decided to get a set of Philips blue vission. they come with blue park lights that glow white! looks pretty cool.

funny enough, the "blue" vission bulbs don't have even the slightest tinge of blue at all. but it's nice and white which is what i wanted anyway. although, i just saw a set of H7 Xenon at supercheap for $39...hmmm...I'm tempted. I had a set on my old celica and they were nice and blue.

I'm about to get 6000k's

do you reccomend 8000? I was thinking maybe they'd look a bit blue.

Also, any installation issues? anything i should look out for? how long did it take you to install?

It took me not more than an hour to install, the DIY kit was very easy to install.

I like the 8000k, slightly blueish, but looks very nice :)

qkslvr, did you connect a biasing resistor with the LED? otherwise they will burn out quickly. :)

Biassing resistor. never knew such a thing existed. thanks for the tip. :)

red and blue are emergency colours so in most states if not all it is a no no to use them.

Hmm. never thought of that ;) but still, i don't think a blue-glowing honda badge will confuse traffic enough for them to giveway :lol::lol::lol: a screaming sprotivo is a different story :lol:

Cougs, if you haven't already bought them, don't get the 8000K lights. Have a read of this - http://www.intellexual.net/hid.html - it'll even make you reconsider the 6000K lights. 4100K is about all I'd consider. Anything else just gives you poor quality light and blinds others.

Cheers,

anyone else got HID recently?

Looks like I'll be getting 8000k H7's cos I'm helping a mate out by buying his, cos he bought the wrong one. I'm going to try my luck to get 6000k's though

6000k because from wht I have seen, it's closer to the colour of daylight, hence will appear brighter.

but if I end up with the 8000k, ah wellz! :)

      Rav4 Nightmare After Dodgy Mechanic

      Hey everyone, hope you're doing well! Unlike me and my Toyota, which is currently in a bit of a mess, haha. I'm reaching out for some help, feeling pretty desperate, to be honest. My 2013 Rav4 2AD-FTV Turbo Diesel is on the verge of being a total loss thanks to a dodgy mechanic who really messed things up. My car's was pristine, but then it blew the head gasket. I acted quickly, called up a mechanic recommended by a friend, and he towed my car away promising to assess the damage. He later reported that the engine was still in great shape but needed the head gasket reshaped to fix the issue. Weeks turned into months, and despite numerous promises and missed deadlines, my car remained in the shop. The mechanic stopped answering my calls or messages, and when I finally tracked down my car, it was sitting outside another workshop, unable to start. Cut to now, after seeking help from a reputable diesel specialist, they've replaced seals, checked compression, swapped injectors, and pretty much everything possible. But my car still struggles to idle, and they suspect the previous mechanic may have messed up something electronic or electrical. I'm at my wit's end. No auto electrician seems willing to touch it, fearing it's a money pit with no guarantee of success. It's incredibly frustrating, especially considering I may lose the car. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      Door seals - causing internal leak

      Hi experts need some help. I have a 2004 Sahara 100series. With all this rain we are having my car has started leaking. It was my father in laws car. It’s leaking water down the pillar trim where the handle is inside front seats onto the dash, down the side of airbag and glovebox and dripping from corner foot area where dash ends and onto the floor. I can see the seal on the roof above the door has a gap in it. Could this be it? 1Q. Who would I get to look at this? 2Q. Anyone had this issue before? 3Q. Where do I begin. Thanks in advance, Sarah IMG_3589.mov

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Kanga, You wouldn't believe it, I found a pump at a Victorian wrecker. He posted it to me but to the wrong address. It was 10 days before I found this out. I went to the wrong address and they said the didn't see it. Austpost is adamant it was delivered. The wrecker fortunately has another one. So, I haven't taken the old one out yet.

      I was hoping for a trivial issue like a blockage, but seems Im out of luck....

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Just tested before - I think its dead. No noise - nothing. I also note that the power supply I have actually delivers a really high-pitched noise when it is on. When you connect it to something, that noise goes away. In this case, when I connect to the terminals, the noise remains. I'm going to have to get inside to look further. Unfortunately, I simply don't have the room to do a job like that. Geoff, did you have any luck getting yours out through the inspection hole mate? I'd seen a few Lexus owners actually cut the inspection hole to get this part out without dropping the tank. Each to their own, but I'm looking to avoid anything that invasive....

      Typical Price for a Replacement Key - 2000 Toyota Torago

      Just let me preface this by saying I know very little about cars in general, so apologies if I get some basic info wrong here. Ive lost the key to my 2000 Toyota Torago. I rang up a local locksmith to get a quote on a replacement key, and apparently it'll cost $1200 for two keys?? The old key didn't even have any electronics in it, it was just a basic key. Not button unlock or anything. I've gotten an electronic car key cut before and it only came to $400! This price for a key without a chip seems extortionate to me. Can someone please let me know if this price is normal, and if so why the hell its so expensive? Thanks in advance for the help! Here's all the information I think is relevant to the car (let me know if more is needed): TOYOTA TARAGO ACR30 II 16V 2.4L 2AZ-FE DOHC 16v Petrol 4cyl 115kW MPV FWD [02/00-02/06] Compliance plate / RAV entry date: 04/2000

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      On my 2002 Prado, the fuel transfer pump has a fuel filter which can block, causing increasingly less fuel transfer between the tanks. It may be the same for the Cruiser too. I have not yet had an issue with mine even at 250000km, but that is low mileage for a 2002 Prado. I hope that you have a filter that can be easily replaced. It could save you a pump replacement.

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      Unless you can identify which engine your Hilux has now, you may be better off finding a good 5LE engine and return it to stock. Nice to have a Turbo diesel though. Have you tried taking a photo of the engine and posting it so others can advise what engine you have. It may be better to have your engine overhauled. If you can locate the engine number (should be on the registration papers if the engine swap was done legit), you might be able to ID the engine that way too. Do you know why the engine seized? It may be possible to overhaul your engine cheaper than replacing it.

      Transmission clunk

      Hi all, Recently completed a long drive. Check engine light came on, traction control off light came on, unable to use cruise control. Pulled immediately over all oil level were good and no leaks. then when accelerating through the gears ( automatic Prado ) hearing and feeling a clunk on each gear ( like it was hard to select). Prado is unable to go into 5th & 6th gear. Maxed out in 4th gear at 90km/h @ 2500rpm. Later in the drive DPF light came on though I have a July 2015 build. DPF introduced in October 2015 that I am aware off. Any ideas at all would be grateful!
