Hey Guys,

Just wanted to go thru a few things in terms of what I'd need and whether or not I'd have everything covered here.

I want to get HID's for my car but firstly I need to check what it is that I'm going to actually need, I'm struggling here because I don't know that much about HID's

But from what I've read so far,

Low Beams are H7's

High Beams are HB3's

and Fog Lights are HB4's

I pretty much want to go thru the lot, and I've been looking at getting these?

Whats your take on this guys? What should I be asking for?

Any help you guys can offer is always appreciated

Hey mate, i'm in the same boat as you are. Also want HID's.

I also read that there are no pre made Projectors for the ZZE's.

If anyone knows of anyone in the Melbourne area that can make them please let me know.

I understand you can get the HID's adjusted but projectors would just make the world of difference.

Thanks

No worries :)

The best place to get them now days is ebay as some sellers offer life time warranties.....

It probably will, but its entirely up to you. Its because the headlight housing of an 03 sportivo is a reflector design, not meant to take HIDs so the beam pattern will be fairly dispersed. That doesn't stop people from running HIDs on said cars though.

My route was to run HIDs in the foggies, that way it was bright but low down as not to crap ppl off. And maybe run something like the http://www.powerbulbs.com/product_detail.asp?prod=81phillips extreme vision in the main headlights instead?

People deffinately don't like hids. When I've borrowed a mates euro I've had a few on the road let me pass and then start flashing their high beams at me. They'll get over it though.....

Do you have any suggestions for bulbs for an 03 foggies?

Foggies are HB4's as stated above.

My question really is, does each globe require a ballast?

If so, I'm looking at around 230 dollars for low beams, high beams, and foggies.. ouch :unsure:

Be aware,

those that choose to run HID's, you WILL get high-beamed by other traffic if you have them in your low beams.

I had 35w 6000k HID's and everyone said they were far too bright (cause of the reflector housing), so i took them out...

If you get HID fog lights it will require a Ballast which normally comes with the kit.

If you get the normal fog light halogen bulbs, you just remove the old one and plug the new one in.

You still need ballast for these.

T10 globes you can buy at places like Jcar or D!ck smiths even.

Don't need to purchase online.

      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.
