LED headlights - Toyota Yaris Forums

went ahead and spent the $25 and 30mins trying this out. I'm pretty happy with the results.

Dadams · 01-24-2012, 01:35 AM

looks pretty good! Ive seen one to many cars tt do tht badly but yours looks good!

Here's another thing that I've seen on a Yaris yet. "White" (8000k) running LEDs, but as soon as you hit the turn signal, it switches to amber color.

ill have to go back and check watt. got it at auto zone. basic kit. 24" long i think. thanks.

i LIKE but just not how you ran them along the headlight. BOBSELECTRIC has had this done for a few years now and ive been meaning to contact him about a possible install for me....

TickleTimeTim · 01-24-2012, 02:15 PM

I really should just take my spare pair and heat to open and paint housing and put then inside the headlight, but I wanted to see how this would look, and im satisfied. But yeah, inside would be better.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dadams · 01-24-2012, 03:03 PM

I agree that might turn out to be a bit of a bitch haha

Dadams · 01-24-2012, 03:04 PM

But if you don't mind the work I bet it'll look great!

mazilla · 01-24-2012, 03:18 PM

I like that, I might do something similar but inside the light and only on the bottom.

TickleTimeTim · 01-24-2012, 10:08 PM

Okay, so I'm debating opening my extra stocks if a deal falls through, answer me this, what can I NOT paint on the inside. I would like yo do all black, but do I need to stay away from painting the inside white it would reflect off of?

I saw the one on taking it apart, I just wanna know if ot would be okay to paint the inside of the housing closest to the bulb. Thanks for the link though, saw someone that painted some of it.

Dadams · 01-25-2012, 01:11 AM

you cant paint the inner reflector bowl if your using a regular headlight bulbs the only way you would be able to paint tht part is if you did a projector retrofit

TickleTimeTim · 01-25-2012, 01:55 AM

i was afraid of that. however, some people pain that curve on the base of it, but don't paint the sides. know what im talking about?
like jbougie in the link you posted above

Dadams · 01-25-2012, 02:27 AM

not sure if that would work or not since I have not done it myself but if anything thats as much of the inside bulb that youd be able to get away with
