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! :)

I've got the H7 crystal white globs on .. the illegal 1z :lol: !! looks slick at nite .. cost is $100 at AutoBarn .. will try to get photos to show u guys :D

My best mate is an auto-electrician and priced me up a complete set of HID's for my sportivo and I have since decided that the standard headlights are satisfactoy...

To replace all 4 sets of bulbs (parkers, low beam, high beam and fog lamps) with 5000K bulbs as well as installing the ballast was gonna bea around $4000 all up.....

OH.... AUD$4000 seem to be tooo much for that....

I have installed the HID on my car as well. The installation of HID on a sportivo is very easy!!! you can diy mate!!!! the kit only cost me AUD$350 on ebay with 2 years australia replacement warranty. You guy can get LEDs from that guys as well.

The LEDs + HID look fxxking nice...

I see what your saying, however, these kits available on ebay are for ONE set of lights and are technically a 'no-name' brand'.

As mentioned, I was looking at what would end up being a set of 8 lights (2 parkers, 2 low beams, 2 high beams and 2 fog lamps) as well as them being 'Philips' brand.

I don't need to worry about installation though, as not ony can I do them myself, but for the mear price of free beer after the job, my best mate (an auto electrician) will assist.

BTW - The price he got me was his cost price...

parkers - HID parkers?!?!!?

low beam - philips make some very good ones. they also make the ballast for other "no name" brands, too.

hi beam - not really feasible for our light bulbs. coz if u have seen how HID lights up from cold, they dun quite react as quick as the good ol' filament bulb. only hi-beam HID i have seen are H4 where the low and hi beam are in one bulb.

foglamps - at 5000k i reckon, when u really need them, in a fog, they will work against you.

hope that helps

It's the low beam. I bought from overseas far from HK, cost around AUD 400. The ballast was Philips "Made in Germany" (haha, I like this brand for lights, always reliable, just like Toyota for Cars :D ). I think the bulbs were not Philips bulb, but still look niceeeeeeee~~ :D

With the purchase of that, I paid around AUD 25 to buy a "Votlage stablizer" which original cost was AUD 200. Those two products were in a special package ~ :D :P . The HID was originally cost around AUD 650. They were making a clearance sale before Chinese New Year, so the prices were just like in factory outlet. :blink:

Btw, the performance of the votlage stablizer just make me smile ~ :)

Go to my garage to have a look if you are interested.

Trying to put some pics with how my HID looks ASAP(maybe tmr), need to find a place "DARK" enough to show the HID's brightness.

I managed to get John (Cougs) 6000K thanks to a swap with some of my customers. ;)

For those reading the Intellexual document about colour temperatures - I have just seen 12000K myself the other night, went for a drive, and it is definitely brighter than 8000 or 6000K. Maybe it's just my eyes playing tricks on me, and maybe the globe is still new, but it is definitely brighter than the 8000K globe on the other side :P

Techone... ugh... ;)

What's the purpose of a voltage stabilizer? Do we need it and what difference would it make?

Thanks

It can make the electric current in the car..more stable, that can have fuel efficiency, better brightness of lights, and more accurate ignition time, can slightly improve the performance, etc (can improve the efficiency of all electrical device in your car) :P

That's not compulsory, we dun need that stabliser in order to have the HID working :P .

HID is completely different to replacement globes. Do you want really bright light output, or do you just want the colour? IF you want the bright light, you will need an actual HID kit.

I wouldn't bother with HID highbeams - how often do you use your highbeams? I'd rather spend the money on a set of fogs (if you have them) or just saving the $400 :)

A set of HIDs will cost you about $400-500 depending on brand, location of manufacture etc. I'm selling HID kits, let me know what other information you require.

That's not HID. That's just uprated halogen globes.

HIDs have a ballast, ignitor and the globes look different: I'll show you a pic of what a HID kit looks like:

Those globes you mentioned are just rice HID. Not much brighter than stock globes, just prettier in colour. If you want those, I sell them as well, see this thread for more information. Better than the Philips Crystal/DiamondVision at half the price.

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.
