I'm thinking about getting some HIDs as well, but I'll be planning on getting them from MicroImage.

Here is the kit I'm looking at.

That kit I linked has high and low beams, I'm not sure about the kit you got from Ebay.

MicroImage has a lot of stuff for the Yaris and the prices are pretty good and Welcome to the Forums.

oh i know i saw it on microimage but you just cant really beat a 30 dollar hid kit and if it works good it will be cool... im suposed to get it on tuesday so ill post how good it works!!! Thanks for the post!!

Just remember you get what you pay for

as long as the kit u bought is has the same bulb style.. H4 or H1 or whatever the sedans use you'll be fine. i bought a cheaper bixeon kit for my headlights and a more expensive set for my fogs and the only difference is it takes maybe a second or 2 to get up to full brightness

Until it fails. At night. Those are very cheap ballasts, that's how they get the price down. Notice they don't say "digital ballast".

i understand that they are not the best looking i was just gauging what some people had to say... im just saying this might be an alternative especially because im on a tight budget considering i still have to pay for the actual car.. lol but overall thanks for the feedback guys it sure helps alot ill post how good or bad they are once i get them lol i ordered them on saturday so i might not get them till maybe thursday

I wasn't commenting on how they looked, but whatever, I hope they are nice and bright for you, don't flicker and last a long time with no problems!

For reference, here is a slim digital ballast:

any mod required for the head light housing? doesnt the bulb would be too bright? i saw somewhere you need to either paint the interior of the light housing or sumething like that

no hid's update for me now! the Yaris will be transfer to the business soon and my new set of wheels will be ordered later this month. I love my car but damn it's hard on my back when you drive 1200kms in 48hrs! I need more support for my old back!
Unless your HID kit fits on 2011 Nissan Xterra?!

no

1) [not important] 55w HID kit? Isn't that illegal?

2)[very important] I had a "xenon-vision" bi-xenon kit, and a bulb just went out. How would I go about getting a replacement, because it seems like the bulb is built into the mechanism that moves the bulb back and forth.
