Bulb life wise HID trumps all halogen bulbs on the market, but reliability wise you really need to have a very dodgy set to cause problems I got a friend who got a chinese made HID kit for his Echo and 2 years the kit still running strong but also heard they absolutely a nightmare if you happen to have a bad set... <_< If you intend to change the bulbs like me, retrofitting wise you still would have to take off the bumpers to fit in the H11s low beams or fogs because there is no room to fit in the bulbs at all...!!! I do alot of night driving as after work its dark where I'm cruising 60kms back home... lol

Yeap yours is the most complete mod, but yeah I will just put electrical tape and wrap it around and I'm a happy lad lol... Coz I'm bad with the crimp tool... lol

OK got the goodies from Jaycar... Did the installation, managed to blow a fuse in the process haha... I did something different, Instead of drilling holes I tighten tube with fasteners Instead of using crimps and connectors, I just unplug the T10 lamp base and use the exposed wire and plug it straight into the connector that used to connect the T10 lamp base... and hid all the wires in the steel gaps... Results looks slightly amateurish but saved me from any drillings and cutting of wires... Cheers

^ Its easier for them to issue stupid fines rather than chasing and using their head to crack crime issues... Plus they get to reach their quota early... :P

Could you please take photos of you boot LED lights set up? Thanks...!

Why not also change the shocks too since they will be stuffed later on anyway? And then change it back to original shocks and springs when you decide to sell your car?

Ok mate... thanks for the link they are by far the cheapest of the lot I searched in ebay... they have alot of H11 which the Aurion uses for low and foglights, so I will be ordering from them tomorrow 2 sets one for my Yaris fogs and one for Aurion... as a off the topic question, should I be ordering a H11 HID or a D2S HID set...? Color wise I will be changing it to, 6000k...! Cheers ;)

Cheers I might give Jaycar a visit on that flexi led tube!

^ NICE!!!!!! I'm thinking investing my 'benjamins' to Tempe Tyres in Syd, those BMW rims will surely looks just as nice on my Aurion...!!!

You will be spewing if your car catches fire... :( I know!!! :P Thats why I'm still skeptical about Chinese kit...!!! <_< Anyone heard about GT HID on ebay? Also that DDM ones what country of origin are they from? Cheers

How much you spend all up replacing the interior and the parkers? I wanna probably use a different LED shape than yours... got a place where they give you the size of the festoon? I dont wanna buy it and ended up not able to plug it in coz its too big..!!!

I will probably end up getting a 6000k kit... But Chinese brand HID kit... lol i do worry about the quality issue... As for foglights I wanna get a HID kit for it too but it will be a too much overkill also got blinded by 2 cars who fitted HID foggies... a Honda CRV and a Corolla at Sunnybank... lol

*DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL..........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Hey the 170 bucks kit, are they China kit or Korea...? I saw GT HID on ebay, dont know if they are good kits or not...

Has anyone did the doors for the Aurion yet? lol

Webpage for the LED purchase??? Cheers! ;)

I'm sure you didnt/wasnt able to tamper that...

Nice, now that I can lift up that thing and clean up the bits and pieces underneath there... also I have squiking noise around that area too would be good to put some dampeners there...

Ideal crusing speed for Aurion is 100km/hr really... coz the rev will be sitting about 1800rpm... Coz i wanna go home quickly usually i cruise about 120km/hr on a 110 zone but that still doesnt stop road rage... lol!!! The faster you do the harder you need to push to achieve and maintain that speed, for an extreme example a Bugatti Veron fuel consumption when trying to achieve the speed of 407km/hr is 87L/100km and its tank will be empty in 12mins under those conditions... ;)

I should get the CHROME one to fit with my Silver Aurion... will be very porn-sque!!!

I like bush bashers.... :D If only the petrol is cheap enough I would have gotten an el cheapo Surf and mod it like crazy for those beach runs!!!

You like me need to HID that thang... :D

Mate... fill in a tank of E10 Shell last week, and saw my fuel average jump up to max 9.6L/100km (80% highway) and then slowly drop back down to 9.2L/100km... This week i fill her up with normal 95 unlead and see the car back to his normal territory of 8.5L/100km for the week... Cheers

Why did you get an ex cop car...? :o Anyway besides the console, check the engines coz i've seen a red aurion was revving it good trying to chase down a speeding driver over at Sunnybank hills... ;)

Erm... me dont know... i got me car via auctions, so that still applies?
