i just installed mine today. 55 watt ballast with 8k bulbs, but due to the ballast being 55 watt instead of the 35 watt, the color will be less blue and more of an oem white color. i'll try and throw some pics up when i get a chance.

Be that as it may, you have fun throwing your 50W light everywhere BUT directly in front of you, and I'll continue motoring along with my 35W HID projectors that I can guarantee throw more light than yours. Lumens =/= visibility. -C

it just goes back to what cpalk719 was saying... our '12 models are brand new, less then month of ownership and less then 700 miles on em (for me at least)...
do i want to open up the headlight housing and install projectors in it? yes. would i? no. @ SAV912 - there's plenty of information on how to do that with the second generation yaris but not so much so with the third. if you can provide us with detailed information with pictures and diagrams of how to this with the 3rd gen, please do. again, i'd like to point out that i was using my iPhone 4 to take those pictures, it's not the best quality camera in low lighting. maybe i should have used the dslr. i'll try again and re-post with better pictures. it looks like the first gen prius hid. btw - no one has high beamed/honked/dirty bird/arms-in-the-air at me for my lights. the CHP hasn't pulled me over nor has SJPD or SCCSO. |

@ skuzzlebutt5 - at the meet I'll show you what I did and you can see how my HIDs shine and go forth from there if you want to do the small mod or not :)

@Kioshi - ^ THAT'S what I've provided to 3rd gen owners. They just have to wait I guess, until their cars mature enough to the point they feel okay taking the headlights apart. But you know, keep on funding Publix. @CPalk - U mad bro? Somebody 'shit' on your thread like you've done to countless others here? I don't give two fucks what you think of my car. It's not a stock '12 so it's already got a head start on yours. -C [/thread]

retrofitting is really really easy in these cars. if anyone needs info feel free to pm. all you need is a retrofit kit, Dremel, 3m windshield sealant, small peice of wood and an oven.
I also do a ton of nighttime driving and much of that is in snow, i once had hids in halogen housing and the amount of glare that reflected back from falling snow was terrible and i threw the kit out the day after. I'm waiting for the yaris hsd to be released somewhere in the world so i can just buy the headlight assemblies. btw this thread is full of WIN! |

And the only condensation you're seeing is where your brain used to be. Along with all the other waste of blood and organs. Your shitty thread just needs to be locked and you should be banned. Because you suck at reading, posting, making good threads, participating in OTHER threads...you just suck at everything!

do us all a favor and just either put the barrel of your gun in your mouth or go and wonder away from savannah, and more into a good ol boy area there in georgia where they will not only rape you but they'll probably kill you for being a fucking flamer and driving around in such a shitty looking car. Your car is whack, your shit slow, your mods look like a handicapped child did them. and your just a poor excuse for a human being.

OK guys, you all need to take a deep breath here. There are ways of disagreeing without resorting to name calling and stuff. Not that you're not entertaining the rest of us with the snarky remarks but how about we all cool off a bit in here?
You want to use the forum to find some help, then be aware of 2 things: no matter what you post, whether it's a mod, or should I wax my car, or whatever, people are gonna be disagreeing with you. Just take any thread, for each question there are at least 5 different dissenting opinions. If you don't like the feedback, then say "thanks, that's not my cup of tea." and move on. the mods generally take a hands-off approach in here but this doesn't mean it's a free for all where you can just go on and insult each other. Be aware also that we don't want to babysit everybody so the warnings will come swiftly and the threads will get locked even faster than it takes to type this post. hope you all get what I'm saying Last edited by tomato; 03-17-2012 at 04:04 PM.
