Hi Guys,

I'm going to change my Halogen Light to HID 8000k with a ballast.

I'm just wondering how you guys installing the HID to the head lamp...Well I don't want to do it myself if it required me to take off the bumpers...

I'm also planning to change the small lamp beside the head lamp (what do u call this?) to a white one, anyone know what bulb do i need to use?

And if I want to change the fog light bulb do I need to remove the bumper?

Also one of my friend told me to be careful, since he was told that if he changes the Lamp it might affect the electric (He use Lexus), will this happen to Aurion?

Thanks for the reply !!

I got 8000K HID installed, and you dont need to take off the bumper.

The side light your talking about are the "Parker lights" i also want to change those, but it's quite difficult as you might have to take off the headlights.

I reccomend you get it done by a professional.

The side ones (parkers) are the generic Wedge type bulb, you can go to any auto store and purchase whiter ones.

I read someone managed to change the parkers by going through the wheel arch from underneath?

Have a look at Mikesalim's post, my setup is similar to his.

It may not be an ZR6, but the area is the same anyway. As for me, I installed mine as well without removing the bumper or lights. I simply did not want to go to that extent. You can see how I mounted mine in the photos. The passenger side was mounted just underneath in front of the battery and the driver's side was mounted kind of vertically. They are held down with a bolt and the cable ties are there to secure them tightly to avoid minor vibrations creating noise.

You may also notice two relays in the first photo. I would have just simply ran them of the existing harness since the peak startup current is only for a short period and that wiring is sufficient to handle that without any long term damage, but I wasn't 100% happy. I don't want to have my HID's coming on when I flash my high beams from an 'off' state so I used the relay setup to cancel that. The first relay is triggered by the parker lights (which don't come on when you flash the high beams from an 'off' state), and the second relay is triggered by the low beams, but only when the first relay is on. That way I can flash my high beams without doing any damage to my HID's.

Cheers for those Pics.. U didnt take ur bumper off when u install those ballas rite?

I'm not sure but the guy i went to said something about removing the bumper in order to avoid the heat from the fan and stuff... Or else the HID wont last as long as it were supposed to be.

I haven't install anethin today...Even with My Rims..=(

Well, I didn't take off the bumper...Why should I? Since the place that I put my ballast is far from the bumper site anyway..

Well, Just find a place that you think the ballast won't be affected by heat from anywhere, it should be fine.

      Wanting to build my car.

      I’ve brought my first car a while ago it’s a 2008 Toyota Aurion sportivo zr6 it has 215xxx kms I’ve been wanting to modify it as it is tidy but I’m unsure if I should since the car is this old and I have had to replace the oil cooler lines a month ago (my car dumped its oil on me) just unsure if they go good after a certain age. what I do want to do to it is. wheels lowering springs or coil overs stiffer sway bar exhaust tint all round after market head lights and tail lights (if any of you know decent ones could you shear a link as I’ve only been able to find some on eBay) if there is anything else that would make it look good like body kits if there are any would be nice to know. Thanks in advance IMG_0918.cr2

      2004 hzj79 surging/jolting

      Gday Ive got a problem with my 2004 hzj79 with 235,000kms with no turbo, ive takin it to a few places all have different answers. At 1400rpm just on light throttle it seems to be surging/jolting as if your on and off the accelerator. Ive recently had the head gasket, head, injectors, fuel filters and timming belt all done and is still happening after the works been done. Has anyone else had the same problem before or be able to point me in right direction? Cheers.

      Australian customers gullible ?

      Not sure if this thread is still active, but It's 2024 and nav is still a problem in my 2018 Prado. I paid for an update, but I haven't noticed any difference, maps are still out of date. I tend to use my phone, but I would prefer to use the existing screen. I think you're right, if enough of us complained or cared, maybe something would be done to improve this problem... we are customers and we paid well for it! Hopefully we are not a dumping ground for old tech!

      Faulty speedo

      Remove dash instrument cluster, remove speedo, and check the inner spindle drive is not dragging against the magnetic drum that moves the speedo needle to show your speed. While you're at it withdraw the INNER cable from the speedo cable using a pointy pair of pliers and coat it with vasaline and reinstall. if it still plays up the speedo drive is stuffed

      2012 Hilux 3.0 D4D starts, runs for 30 seconds then stops

      Also, I have pulled an injector and fuel is coming out of it...so whilst i am not sure how much pressure is there, diesel is being fed up to the injectors...so the problem i think is electronic in that the injectors are not pulsing. Now i know that the injector pulse controller is working because the car has been started and ran for up to 30 seconds on a number of occasions I have disconnected the MAFS, cleaned out the MAF but it doesnt make any difference. It appears to me that the computer is disabling the injection system for some reason.

      2012 Hilux 3.0 D4D starts, runs for 30 seconds then stops

      hi guys, my son drowned his Hilux in 4 feet of water a week ago. (note car has a snorkel) I stripped out the alternator, starter motor, PCM and Turbo Wastegate controller, drained oil, removed filter and replaced, as well as went around the lower part of the engine disconnecting and learning electrical connectors. I went through both fuse boxes (one under hood, second fuse box underneath steering wheel, and also disconnected cleaned and reconnected plugs all around the inside of the cab. We charged up the battery, gave the engine a 720 degree hand crank with a socket on the harmonic balancer to ensure it wasn't hydro locked pulled the exhaust immediately after the turbo to check no water had come up the bum and into the turbo removed and checked airbox and flexible turbo intake piping checked there was no water ingress through the intercooler After all of the above, we hit that start key and she fired up immediately. I then immediately shut it off to check a few connectors and see if any error codes were registering still on the ODB port...I cleared them. Thats when all the trouble began... The car wouldn't start after this. We removed battery and put it back on charge and left it for the night. Next day, installed battery, turned the key...she fired up immediately. 30 seconds later it shutdown again...then refused to start. I removed battery, left it for an hour whilst mucking around with a few connectors and cleaning...plugged in battery again and voila....started back up again. Ran for about 30 seconds then shutdown refusing to restart again. Its the exact same thing over and over again. The ODB reader gives at least 2 error codes consistently 1. Barometric pressure in the manifold error 2. Turbo wastgate low voltage (I obtained another turbo wastegate controller however this had made no difference to the turbo error code) I am not convinced that the turbo or the barometric pressure are necessarily what is causing it to shutdown. Is it possible that water has somehow gotten into something related to the factory ignition disable system and is causing this? Ideas?
