Re reverse 15w HID:

Just waiting back on some info re T20 fitment, if they have them (which i think they do) they will work in the ZRE also.

FYI, I have made my own 7,000k Flux T20's, Quite bright but not as bright as the 15w'ers will be.

these T20's i made are also Dual colour, acting as an extra brake light when the brakes are applied also:

Just gotta work on them a little more then i should be able to make sets up for those that are keen. Quite fiddly to make.

Bad news, the 15w HID reverse kits are only made for specific vehicles. No T20 kit as of yet. There is a T10 kit i believe, so maybe mods could be done to that to get it to fit the T20 socket. The t20 plug in wont be an issue, just the mounting/socket.

On a lighter note, the T20 PIAA super terra extremes did quite well..

EDIT,

Seems most of the kits are 921 size, which is between a T10 and a T20. Im pretty confident that these could be made to fit the housing easy enough.

Hmmm...... let me think about this...

Ok, after a bit more research, The 921 should have a base very very close to a T10 socket... maybe 0.5 of a mm in it, but should be cool. Now just to match the twist in to the housing....

Why would you need variable HIDs?

Weird how anything with Japanese on it seem nice :D

Why would you do anything to a car that runs and looks perfect when you buy it?

Because you can. :)

Way I figure it, is adjustable hid would serve to lessen the risk of being pulled over by cops if u were to set it low. Also saves money and time say If you bought 35w hid and later decided you wanted brighter. I dunno. I just want them for the pure novelty value :)

      G’day from NSW

      G’day All just got a 2012 (old shape) Corolla Ascent Hatchback Auto. Needs a few things done, it was my Dads who just passed away. Going to install pioneer head unit (basic one really) as a start, then maybe upgrade speakers but I’ll see how the oem ones go, I’ve read I’ll need at least 50w ones for the pioneer. Front inner plastic guards are a bit trashed along with bumper bar, just need to neaten it up a little. cheers Sparky

      Head Unit Replacement for 2010 Toyota Corolla Hatch

      G’day TGA, hope you got this sorted, just about any 2 din would fit. I’m putting a pioneer one in but I’d like to know how to pull the trims apart to fit it 🤨 Every video shows the sedan with a different gearshift with short trims to remove but those 2 lower side ones are 1 piece on the hatch and I’m struggling. Do I need to remove console box to start removing those side piece. Any help cheers Sparky

      Landcruiser 200 GPS

      I am sure many owners of Landcruiser 200s have had the same experience as me where the GPS has led me into the wrong roads. I’ve had two Landcruisers, a 2013 model and currently have a 2021 model. Both vehicles had/have poor GPSs. Even Toyota personnel agree with this. so I am considering replacing it with an after market unit. I don’t want one which relies on mobile phone connection. I am looking at a unit sold by Brummstadt. The link is https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility I would appreciate any feedback from any owner who has taken this step. thanks, Bob See https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility

      Aurion "wobble"

      Since last year I've been getting quite terrible wheel wobble between 60-70 mph on the expressway. Sort of notice it however way less evident now and again going more slow. Recently got crankshaft belt and flash fittings changed at a repairman I believe that accomplishes great work. This began occurring after I got excessively blissful doing doughnuts in the colder time of year and knock a snow bank tapping a road sign haha... I figured I twisted something in the driver side suspension...lower control arm, tie bar, and so on yet repairman said everything was straight and tight, bushings alright, no spillage on them or swaggers. He said perhaps a wheel arrangement would fix it. I maintain that should do swaggers in any case cause the ride isn't quite as smooth as it used to be. Contemplations? Assuming I get an arrangement would it be advisable for me to do the swaggers first or is that all the more with supplanting the lower control arm?

      Oil Pipe Leak

      I'd be surprised if they expect you to pay for it as it is a recall issue. Glad it's been checked out before it's too late though.
