H1R1 is what you looking for.

took these pics for you tonight, hope they help.

as in our pms you can use a file or dremel to modify the red back plate, (plastic) but the keying of the back of the reflector would still only allow certain bulb types. (check charts)

lights for the same year models are all the same shape wise. Some are the auto turn jobbies... not sure about those when it comes to replacement bulbs.

Why don't you just modify the bulb? appar all you have to do is take a bit off the tabs?

why are you changing bulbs? sorry mate if i missed this in our pms.

i struggle to get my head around why anyone would want to change these bulbs and why you cant just take your bulb out walk into a shop and get a replacement.

Remember that hole is only 20mm..... if the shank on the other buld your trying to jamm in is thicker your cactus.

I guess just personal choice why i want to change the bulb, I did go to a shop and they say you need a hb3. It's not the case as we know you can't get the HIR1 in any other colour and most shops don't even stock it, they can order it in though.

If i was going to mod the bulb base how would you do it?

take off the orange ring from the back of your light and then using a file to match your bulb tabs.

Still have not done it, been a little under the weather this week. The one thing that still puzzles me is why does the owners manual say the hb3 size when research on this forum i have found that not be correct.

Also for the people that have changed to HID do you have any trouble at rego time getting a pink slip passed?

Let me rephrase that... Until now there hasn't been any problems getting a pink slip.

As for cops. if you stay away from going over 6000k you should be fine, Saying that keep away from 55w and go with the 35w.

You'll find out your HIDs will last longer and you won't we risk melting your headlight housing

Thanks for the solid advice rebz, I am looking into it since the low beams are quite dull. I have tried 3 different bulbs with little success.

Anytime man. Just in case you have trouble deciding which one you wanna get

he's what it will look like approx

6000k is a nice white

8000k has a tint of blue

usually you can get defected for having 8000k or over depending on your luck

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
