Ok, i finally received the email and i've never had any troubles with it anyway..

will take it in next time with the service...

Here you go you can read the installation at my web site:My Toyota Aurion ZR6 HID Headlight Kit

The globes are H11 35 watts 6000k in colour.

Did you install a wiring harness?

thought i'd share this...this is what happens when you don't have a wiring harness to your HID...

so it dose or doesnt void the new car warrenty?

of course it does. When you use HIDs, you're drawing more current when the ballast are firing up, up to 15A max.

In the long run, the stock harness will burn out. That's why you need a relay harness to draw power directly from the battery. (but even so, i dont' think toyota will give you warranty on it).

any wallshot of the hid kit?

This is mine, got from ebay, it has projections at the back.

i thought if your headlights are the projector type and not the reflector type the light wont scatter

not necessarily, because the projector was made for a halogen bulb in the first place. Some halogen projector do work fine with a little bit of glare.

But either way, its always best to stick with OEM products, most or all of the re-based bulbs are aftermarket and poorly made and inferior in quality.

any updates on these coilovers?

I can get it over from japan for $1550 landed!!!

I see its for the MCV20,

do they fit the ACV36?

hmm strage, didn't receive it either...

ouch.....thats not good!!

Hi

1. I believe Narva does make HID (bulbs & kits)

2. I am not familiar with physics but the following articles say different thing

well Lumens is a Measure of light brightness (lu) and as you can see, the higher K you go, the lumens pretty much goes down to the same as halogens.

Another problem is the scatter of light you get from a HID kit plug-n-play.

Just proving a point of the glare, but there are still people out there with hid plug and play kits

Guys, ive decided to switch the halogen bulbs inside the front projector style lights to HID 6000K. However, what i am trying to figure out is that, by changing simply the bulb to HID 6000K bulb, will it work? Or do i have to change the whole electrical light system altogether to get the HIDs working. Does anybody know how to get that changed or installed? I look at the presara's and the only thing appearing different is the bulb inside the projector and that it autolevels when driving. Im confused as i dont know if i need to buy the whole hid kit or just the hid bulb. Any advices???

Wondering if anyone got official gov issued doc says that after market HID conversion kit is illegal?

I don't think there is anywhere that says its illegal but there is law enforcing the color of the light. Yellow and White is accepted.

But even that, i think anything that was not designed for HID bulbs should be illegal, since it wasn't made for it so should not be used.

WOW, thats awesome. Were they hard to fit??

its pretty simple to retrofit your headlights. You only need 3 basic tools: Electric Driller, Screw Driver and an Oven. Took me about 1hr (on my 2nd go, but 3hrs for the first time). Unlike most people who Installed HID on their stock headlights (designed for normal Halogen Bulbs), they have to point the headlights as low as possible to reduce the glare and they will not have even light distribution.

Back in the old days, I used to have HID on my stock headlights, it was nice and bright. After using them for couple of weeks I decided to take them off since it wasn't worth the risk of blinding oncoming traffic, or worst, causing an accident.

wow 1 hr!! That's really fast!

I took mine slowly, about 1 months worth of weekend work. My hole was actually quite large and i used a dremel and I had to make it perfect (but its still not perfect). But it was fun and worth the results!

any updates on these coilovers?

My mistake - Ill try to find the article i read which stated the things needed.

Either way - Non HID designed headlights, can not use HID's

and this is why you have these

and notice how all the light is spread on where light is needed

Narva? maybe for halogen bulbs, never heard of them for HIDs.

Better go OEM. like valeo, philips and denso ballasts.

With bulbs it'll be harder to get OEM since you'll be using a halogen socket so you'll need a kit. Unless you can find a philips or osram rebased bulbs which are reputable HID bulbs.

As for relays, it is recommended as you don't want to fry your original wiring harness, as using HIDs you are running more current than the stock halogen bulbs. Better to be safe than sorry :)

as for color temperature, i would recommend nothing over 6000K, after that you're losing a lot of light output, might as well keep to halogen if you want to have the color.

so....anyone thats using HIDs willing to take off their HIDs....hmmm me...dun think so man...maybe i could lower the headlight level but i dun think that will work. well since i bought it, maybe i'll use it for a while.

I did take it off at one stage while i was doing my retrofit.

The light was just too scattered and not on the road which made it dangerous. so I switched back to halogen.
