Black Projector Headlights Question - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

kuyachris84 · 09-11-2009, 11:55 AM

just installed it 2 days ago. Adjusting the projector beam was kinda annoying though. Install was easy as hell though and brightness isn't too bad. I think they're just slightly less bright than stock but not too much where you'd complain about it.

No connector problems, people have problems fitting the turn signal. Mine fit in fine... used the stock bulb and plug. Sorry if I'm thread jacking lol.

Looks great on black, kuyachris84. Good that it worked out well and didn't have problems. I should be getting mine next week sometime, as its still somewhere on the courier. Hopefully i don't run into any issues then.

How bright are the the LEDs? I prob won't connect those as it might attract the cops. lol.

Do you have a close up photo of how big your turn signal bulb is? like shape wise? Thanks

I'll take a close up pic tomorrow... i just used the stock turn signal bulbs but they're the same shape and size of what you get with the head lights. I was thinking of putting the 1157 clear bulb but already have clear turn signals in the back... more clear turn signals and i'm guaranteed to be pulled over lol.

Oh, that's the A.D.D kicking in. haha.

These black version taillights are coming with the package.

Wasn't sure if it would look any good on White, so might not put them on. Bought them to split with my friend.

I photoshoped it on this photo below. Thoughts?

TheRealEnth · 09-12-2009, 06:19 AM

they look sick on white

kngrsll · 09-12-2009, 07:27 AM

kuyachris84 · 09-12-2009, 08:14 AM

The LED's are white and are facing to the fount of the car so are perfectly legal in all stats. only if u changes there color to anything other then white or yellow they become illegal

Oh ok,i always thought they were blue leds. At least it looks like that in some photos.

kuyachris84 · 09-13-2009, 08:31 AM

In the picture it turned out blue... but they're white as can be lol. I passed like 20 cops already and none have pulled me over for them.

vten · 09-13-2009, 09:43 PM

It was just a special package on Ebay Australia. But both sets are sold already.

ruimond · 09-22-2009, 07:54 AM

Ok so i've installed these, love the look. But tried them out tonight with the original cutoff.

Do people think this cutoff is to high?

Im guessing projectors project the light in a different way. I noticed that when i'm up close to something i can see the beams clear. But once your furthur away from the vechicle ahead of you it kinda spreads out and gets furthur in distance.

When im behind a car it seems that the lights shine roughly almost near where their boot ends. E.g on a Sedan boot.

Do people that have these lights adjust them by those long screw things? Is it just a matter of turning it closewise and anti-clockwise for higher and lower? I couldn't turn them with my hand. So im guessing people need to use a screwdriver?

This is my cutoff shining at the garage door without changing anything yet.

Basically are projectors meant to spread out more then normal lights as in less focus. This is the first time i've had projectors. I could be aimed to high.

Midon · 09-22-2009, 02:51 PM

Even after I put my HID in them I had to adjust them a little. And let me warn you since the did not put the adjusters on a vertical and horizontal it a pain to adjust they pot the adjustment on the diagonal so you have to take a headlight out adjust put it back and look, repeat this about 20 times and you will get it were it needs to be.
