HI guys.....

Went to autobarn to order xenon bulbs.. phillips..

Whats the go with the H1R1 bulb? a normal h1 doesnt fit, and neither autobarn nor the phillips rep knew what it was.. cant find anything on the net either..

I got a refund anyway, leaving me with high beam xenon and stock low beam dirty yellow..

Any help?

Cheers :blink:

Are you referring to the low beam. If so, H1 will not fit because this is the wrong bulb.

The low beams and fog lights use H11. This is stated both in your owners manual and the FAQ's here.

Thanks for your fast reply, and apologies for my slow response

I should have been clearer. Also mistakenly said that i tried a H1... (sorry).

It is the high beam. When I removed the bulb, it clearly states it is a Toshiba H1R1 12V 65W (made in P.R.C).. according to forum posts and manual it should be a hb3? which i bought.. however, the three pins do not lock in at the back of the lamp. I tried for hours.. even tried to file the pins down to fit.. Autobarn installers could not fit either, so they gave me a refund. two of the three pins are the same size; but one is smaller (approx 2/3 as big, same thickness)

Also, I am wondering if you have heard of the interior lighting illumination upgrade that has been released for the 09 facelift. I bought the kit today from toyota hillcrest for 125, but it has no instructions at all lol... im not even sure what its meant to look like once its installed..

Any help would be appreciated.. By the way saw you on the near Monier rd a few weeks back... very neat quite impressive.. B)

Hi there, is the interior lighting illumination you mentioned the same as in the Aurion Accessories page at http://www.toyota.com.au/aurion/accessories/interior?

If so, does it come with lighting for the front and rear? What comes with the kit? Pic would be great.

Cheers

Sorry, only reopened this thread now. Stupid work making me forget things.

The high beam bulb is a special bulb made by Toshiba (created by GE) referred to as HIR or High Intensity Reflective. Just a quick run down:

... The high beams on my Aurion use those bulbs (comes standard with them), and I find they are much brighter than normal halogen bulbs of the same wattage.

Some more reading on HIR bulbs:

It was GE's goal to create a bulb that produced 75% of the light output of HID headlights at 25% of the cost. GE sells HIR bulbs for residential lighting and specialized projectors, but decided to stay out of the automotive market and licensed this technology to a division of Toshiba. In fact, Toshiba and GE are among the few companies in the world with the expertise to engineer and build this product. These bulbs attain light levels 75% to 110% brighter than stock as a result of an engineering process that deposits multiple, yet almost invisible, layers of semi-reflective coating on the surface of a specially shaped quartz bulb. This coating ( a titania/silica, zinc oxide/silica, zirconia/silica, silicon nitride/silica, and titania/magnesium fluoride tantalam/silica multi-layer dielectric, according to the patent) reflects a portion of the infrared energy emitted by the filament back onto the filament, causing it to glow brighter and emit more light from the uncoated forward portion of the bulb. Although the filament gets hotter, the glass does not. IT GENERATES NO MORE HEAT THAN A REGULAR HALOGEN BULB, AND IT DRAWS THE SAME WATTAGE AND AMPERAGE AS THE STOCK 9006 BULB IT REPLACES

In other words, the bulb type is not actually a HB3/9005 like the manual states, but it is a 9011 bulb. To make a HB3 bulb fit, as you noticed, some trimming has to be done to make it fit. I don't know why Toyota stated differently in the manual.

Also, I am wondering if you have heard of the interior lighting illumination upgrade that has been released for the 09 facelift. I bought the kit today from toyota hillcrest for 125, but it has no instructions at all lol... im not even sure what its meant to look like once its installed..

I believe the only additional lighting in the facelift Aurion is the vanity lights for the two front mirrors in the sun shades. Edited below.

Cheers mate.

Damn, I only just saw that now. Grrr. They copied me :lol: Oh well. DIY FTW.

Sure have. Link is in my signature that goes to my thread. There are some pictures there. I didn't think there was a need for a step by step cause it is straight forward really. You just go into Jaycar or something like that, even eBay, and pick up some LED light strips, attach them in the footwell where you want and connect them to your dome light.

Just a little revival on this. It seems the kit is just 4 simple LED's an a lot of wiring for it. Speaking of which, it is also currently for sale on eBay. Though you could easily DIY for cheaper:

      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.
