Hey fellas. Got a HID kit for my driving lights that are h7. The problem is, this HID kit does not have that additional bracket that seems to appear in toyota models for the h7 bulb type. This bracket holds the bulb in place and then clips it into the housing so it doesnt move. The HID kit does not have this at all, and there is no way i can get this bracket onto the bulb at all.

Can anyway please help me out? I dont really want to refund this or keep my driving lights halogen when my fogs are HIDs

Thanks in advance fellas

I think I know what you mean. You are referring to how the spring clip that holds the original bulb and holder in place doesnt spring down far enough to hold the H7 HID's?

On my sister's Mazda 3, I used some washers to hold it in place. Luckily I had some laying around that were about the same overall diameter as the H7 base with a hole in the middle large enough for the HID centre piece to stick through. I used a couple on each lamp and it was enough to allow the spring clip to push against it to hold the lamp in place.

Just gotta think a bit creative.

did you sort it out?

Its too hard to tell in that photo but that bracket looks like one you find in bmw/euro cars. Can you pull it out and fit to the hid bulb? Search "h7 holder" on ebay.

Nuh i didnt sort it out unfortunately. Thanks for the ebay idea,

it kinda looks very similar to something like; http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2x-AUDI-nissan-Benz-H7-HID-XENON-BULB-HOLDER-ADAPTOR-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem4aa1d91411QQitemZ320542938129QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories.

Now i see how this adapter would fit, i hope this works. I guess I might give it a shot anyway though. Thanks for that chicken

      Toyota Expert need - Hilux Workmate Ute 2010 Engine/Head

      Hello, Purchased a Toyota 2010 ute (petrol), all seemed great until one day I missed the temperature going up and the sweet strange smell of the coolant and the first I knew I was in trouble was when the windscreen had a shower of water/coolant as the radiator top had blown apart. I had a local mechanic suggest using the head/weld stuff, possibly not a great idea, it seemed ok for a while at least in terms of I could drive back and forth to work. I don’t use the ute much. We then found a metal pipe on the right side of the engine which was cracked and this seems to have been the what caused the problem all along. This was fixed and the vehicle seemed OK. I thought perhaps I had dodged a bullet and it was not the head gasket having blown or a cracked cylinder head etc. Recently noticed the tell tale vapour from the exhaust and also from the rear part of the engine (with the hood up). Now realise there is a major problem and I did not dodge any bullets at all. I have another different mechanic who is due to come and collect the vehicle on Tuesday and is going to replace the head gasket and the cylinder head for a quality aftermarket head. Now I am trying to find out if this is the right move. He is a good mechanic, recommended by trustworthy people, he mainly works on diesel motors. I cannot afford to spend thousands fixing the vehicle to only find that the base part of the motor is screwed and the vehicle really needs a new engine (wreckers engine). Is there any way to tell? It was making some horrible knocking sounds the last few times I drove it, probably should not have drove it the last few times, just did not have much choice. Hoping that after all this a new gasket and head will sort it out. Hoping some people who know what they are talking about can provide some sound advice. Appreciate your feedback/assistance. Cheers.

      Please help Reverse Trigger wire harness for Camry Hybrid 23

      Dear all I have a Camry Ascent Hybrid 2023 with standard version, 7 inch touch screen Fujitsu Denso FT0106B head unit. Today I removed the head unit and replaced with the Alpine ILX-F511A and connect the plugs by Aerpro wire harness. I connected all the plugs but there is a 28 pin plug does not have the wire harness from Aerpro cable. Everything is working except the reverse Camera. I connected the reverse trigger wire to Aerpro reverse trigger but the camera does not work when I change the gear to reverse position. I think this error comes from the 28 pin plug which is not connected. If someone knows which wire harness color and which pin is the car reverse trigger please help me with it. And the FM radio is not working too, I do not know which car wire color to connect the blue wire from antenna connector too. Thank you so much.

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      Well, new tyres, a proper wheel balance seems to have done about 90% of the trick - the car now drives like it once did. The only thing is that a wheel bearing was called out as "completely stuffed" and as it is so bad, the only way to fix due to wear on the knuckle is to replace the whole thing. Quoted $600 for the repair and no parts for this until mid next week. Once this is replaced I will update if back to 100% or still more problems. I was thinking that the aftermarket CV shafts could be to blame - very glad this turned out not to be the case.
