I know it isn't directed at me but, although they're not pricey it requires too much work. I drive this everyday and couldn't keep it down to do this, so, UNLESS, Garm did them for us, then sent them out I would do it that way... :)

New service Garm? :)

believe me, I've thought of that...and I completely understand about taking your freakin' headlights APART and putting them back together -- anyone notice I haven't done it myself?

I do have an extra set, though, so maybe I should try this. "core charge" to trade for pre-loaded projector headlights, anyone?

Well, would be a good idea, I think. I use this as a daily, so I can't take it apart, wife would kill me. Even my other toy, she doesn't like me taking it apart. The core wouldn't work for me, I can't take it apart for a few days, maybe get more headlights if enough interest.


Also, you send my parts out? Just checking since I am in the thread posting. :)

Thanks!

Yeah, add to that dehazing the headlight cover (inside and out), repainting the housing, and cleaning the battery because of battery acid and corrosion, it takes a LONG time! My finger nails felt like they were about to fall off (should have worn gloves, but I can't feel anything while wearing them, lol).

Oh, and if you have eyelids, you can still bake your headlights. I did (after an hour working with a hairdryer, which wasn't taking the headlights apart good enough). I set the temp to 200 degrees, and took the headlights (with the eyelids still attached) out every other minute, prying them open and putting them back in for another round, repeating until I had the headlights open.

After reading this thread i guess theres another item on my things to do list. One of my silverstars burnt out already so now would be a good time to upgrade.

yep, a couple of days ago. I'll PM you a tracking number when I get to the shop this morning.

Awesome! I will be ordering some more stuff after Christmas. :) I will have a few questions about the wiring on that too if you got a sec too.

I spoke with Toyota Canada this morning and told them about your site, and how much the parts were compared to where he gets his HID, fogs etc.. ;) Local is the largest dealership in Canada with over 60,000' space! Movie theatre, food place, included.

I installed the bixenons, it looks sick. With the reflectors blacked out, it looks like a baby tC. However, I'm having issues. Every time I turn the head lights on, one of the lights immediately turns off. Since the headlights pull so much current warming up, one of the digital ballasts is turning off during warm up, leaving me with only one headlight on. I have all the wires soldered extremely well, and I've determined its not a faulty wiring issue. Any one have a fix for this? Bigger battery? Also, is there a way to get my blue high beam indicator working with these?

^ Did you remove your DRL module? Just a thought..

[cali yaris]

cfeng, there was a thread about how the DRL mess up HID performance.

Also, you mention soldering? Can you post up pics of how you did your wiring? It's difficult to comment without seeing what you did.
