You need to lay off the Miller Lite, must be too strong for you. That's a camera phone picture. It isn't even high enough resolution to judge the quality of the paint job. Which by the way, is awesome.

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!

when i get as bad as you, then i'll just either shoot or drown myself. your 10 threads on doing fucked up projector/blacking out headlight housings, scion head units, for one for sale thread, and HI FROM SAVANNAH !! was just really informative. matter of fact i bet majority of the remaining yarisworld members, if not dont even know you probably dont even like you....

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

OK then take it easy in there (all of you) or I will lock the thread - at the very least.

Best to bite my tongue from here on out.

Pwned. Moderator with the iron fist. It's a good point with people and their different opinions. Like I said, it is what it is.

I'd like to have a thread opened with instructions on how to install projectors... But it's probably wishful thinking until someone actually does it.

[CPALK719]

i apoligize for myself. as for the other guy... he was the one who came in here and started yapping, but thats it done and over with.

[skuzzlebutt5]

I just bought HID's for my yaris. I figured I would simply replace the H4 bulb with HID's and be done with it. I was wrong. Now my lights are pointing up in the trees when I drive. Everything I'm reading tells me that I need to replace the whole headlight assembly (remove bumper) with a "projector" style headlight?? piss me off! Took me half a day to install everything including the remote relay control.

The reason that happens is because the HID bulb isn't the same shape as the halogen bulb. It lights differently, the beam arcs differently, and the light bounces off the reflective properties of the headlamp walls differently.

Projectors really are the way to go. However, and I've been lambasted for it in this very thread, some see it as infeasible to do a mod such as this to a brand new car. And I can understand that. Your alternative is to aim the headlights way down, pretty much as far as they'll go, or just use a pair of good halogens such as Osram Silverstars. The 2nd gen cars had the same problems with people who just used drop in HIDs.

Hope this helps.

By all means if you have no problem tearing your brand new car apart and opening up your headlights, then definetly install some projectors.

mind you i've seen a few people on here who have done so,and their headlights as well as their painting of the chrome housing came out real shitty. just be careful and take your time.

i installed a set of hids into the stock halogen headlamps, i myself have no problem with the light output. and yes i know what the difference is between projector housings and halogen. i have another vehicle with projectors stock from the factory, and in all honesty the projectors do project the light out at a little more of a further distance, but i honestly didn't think its that big of a light gain, to tear my 3 month old car apart and start fucking with things.

good luck in whatever it is you do
