I was wondering has anyone fitted a HID to your 08 Corolla Ascent? If you had HID fitted to your 08 Corolla Ascent, can you share your experience, because I'm thinking about getting a HID kit for my 08 Corolla Ascent but I just don’t wanna blinding people/other drivers on the road. Since we've got the projector type head light so I think it may be okay to use HID without blinding people.

I am about to do this very soon too.

I have seen others overseas do this to their Auris (non OEM HID) and it looks good. Here is a pic:

I have asked for more pics too.

Get a 5000 K one, not 6000 or 8000 and you should be ok.

Here you go, I've purchased a H7 relay for my HID's from them before, excellent seller. They have it for the H11 and they ship from HK.

clicky.

I have had 6000k and 8000k - To be totally honest there has been next to no difference.

They are white on the road with a slight tinge of blue. I prefer these over lower Kelivin ratings, as it doesn't look standard...

Never had any trouble with cops - I always add this part... Im on P's which tends to add to attention, and still no issues.

Almost all kits on ebay are from the same Chinese factories... some charge more, others less. You get the same product really. Id never pay over 250 for a kit.

honestly im not too sure, but i would recommend it... you never know when your stock harness will give way, plus apparently... after a bit of reading ... i read that the stock harness has a lower fuse amp than what a HID should have, and having the relay with fuse amp connected to the battery fixes that problem, lowering / ?almost demolishing? the chance of shorting your stock harness?

anyone?

But again, thats what i have read about relays and stuff, and honestly, sounds spot on ... about the stock harness not having a powerful enough fuse amp and eventually giving way.

As for your stock harness, the standard fuse for the headlights are around 10-15A per side. This is more than sufficient for the standard halogen and will be just fine for HID. When running, the HID's actually draw less current than the stock halogen, however the startup current is much higher for HID. The wiring and fuse in your car will be able to take this increase in startup current mainly because this happens for such a brief period of time. If you want the extra piece of mind though, you can go for the relay setup.

Anyways, I've posted an answer to your question over in your thread:

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      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.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
