HID's from Micro Image - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

JumpmanYaris · 09-10-2009, 12:12 AM

Yeah I placed an order for them Friday last week i think it was, I got the same Color code of paint for the Headlights, What worries me is the installation of wires and crap you know

Here are some comparison photos of 6000K HID versus Sylvania SilverStar Ultra's.

This is a head-to-head comparison. Shutter speed and f-stop consistent among comparisons.

HOLY CRAP nice pic, that is way lot brighter from the Sylvania

Are you doing the LB or sedan install? Dont worry too much about the wiring. Its very easy.
You'll see once you get get them in front of you.

miniTRD did you adjust the height? looks like its shooting up alot.

MiniTRD · 09-10-2009, 12:42 AM

nope I just slapped them in real quick for a comparison. I will say however I have not gotten one flash from anyone yet. at 50 paces it is not in your eyes

nice, id like to see a shot against a wall or something, to see the cutoff. Nice light output on the road tho, beats non bi-xenons.

Kioshi · 09-10-2009, 01:50 AM

Looks nice Clark. How come you didn't opt for the HID projectors?

MiniTRD · 09-10-2009, 01:53 AM

I didn't really want to deal with baking my headlights apart although I have done it before - it's not hard.

I believe Garm said the projectors were setup for LHD which should work for US models.

Kaotic Lazagna · 09-10-2009, 01:58 AM

Thanks Clark. I'll show my friend your pics and let him decide if they're too blue or not.

MiniTRD · 09-10-2009, 02:07 AM

6000K may, and I say may, have a slight hint of blue . . . I can't tell, but then again I am color-blind.

Go for 5000K for true white

Yeah, I have 6000k on mine, and I think it's too blue. However, I installed an 8000k HID kit on my gf's bro's Hachi, and it was actually whiter than mine. I figured since mine is an eBay kit, it must have been wrong. lol. I'll let my friend decide based on pics.

vboy127 · 11-09-2009, 03:18 AM

Just curious. I know that some HID kits come with a glare shield to help reduce excessive glare. Does this kit come with shields??

Also, how do you adjust the beam pattern on the yaris?

cali yaris · 11-09-2009, 12:55 PM

Thanks for all the posts guys. Shields, yes.

6000k on these kits should be pure white, and 8000k has a little blue in it, we call it "icy white".

EleKid · 11-09-2009, 01:02 PM

I have a feeling I already know the answer, but are these for sedans also?

(I'm pretty sure it's no ...
