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?

Noob here, I heard I cannot put these on my 03 sportivo as it may annoy people??

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...

I just wanna do foggies so they are brighter but all I wanna know is if they just slot in or so I need something else?

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.

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

Don't need to purchase online.

Does each globe require it's own digital ballast? :blink:

Yes

Evo

Wow, this is going to be quite an expensive bite dry.gif

They usually come in a package with the bulbs,

The kits range from $80 -$800

      Wheels and tyres combos for various terrain

      I have run into same issue as previous post. Limited replacement choice for 245/60R18's on a stock 2019 GXL Kluger. Does anyone know if you can fit 255 on the stock rim instead. There is a much better choice in that tyre size. I have mailed a couple of Tyre places as well but no reply which makes me think that it is not legal.

      3rd Gen (XU50) Kluger new aftermarket radio install

      Hi all, Finally got around to modifying the fascia kit. Not super happy about it - basically a hugely overpriced piece of plastic for what I thought would've been designed for RHD and is literally the cheaper brand I was going to originally buy (for LHD Highlander), might as well have bought it from Amazon or the like. The fit is off in relevance to the centre air vents. I might try a MkII version and modify a factory radio fascia if it really gets to me. I digress... Let's start with removal of the screen from the head unit. I love that this Pioneer radio has a separable screen for custom installations. Here is the Aerpro fascia after trimming. I should've just bought the Metra version if I knew that they were the same. The part behind the fascia kit is a bezel that I designed and printed to suit. I also ended up rerouting the microphone next to the clock as I couldn't find a solution to make the factory microphone play nice with the aftermarket radio - I trimmed away the mounting lug & drilled a hole to suit in the trim bezel, so far it's the only original Toyota part that needed to be modified, still holds securely and the mic is tucked away as much as possible. No negative difference in call quality so far either. There is still much clean up to do but was keen to see how it looks like fitted so please excuse all the epoxy. Hopefully I will get it finished soon; it should look close to OEM as possible when I'm finished. Next will be to install an amplifier I have lying around, new speakers and subwoofer and finally have a stereo with some form of depth and quality.

      Flashing 4WD Lo and VSC and Engine warning lights

      Not ideal where you are but I would ry a couple of things: Either disconnect the batteries (both) and leave for a good 10 mins - enough time for all electrics to discharge.. Another one which worked for me was to disconnect the ECU - big plug on the passenger side firewall. Same thing, allow for electrics/electronics to discharge. Not practical for you at this stage but if you can get a Scangauge. This will allow you to clear the codes. Car has gone in limp mode. I had this problem several times whilst towing a caravan due to a performance chip which would cause a limp mode. No more as I have had the ECU remapped.
