Hopefully some xA owners will chime in :)

Bringin' it up for some HIDs!

These are effing bright. They light up all reflective signs, etc long before I get up to them. They make silver star ultra look like flashlights and the oem bulbs like candles.

I will see if I can post some photos or a video out here in teh country where its effing dark out.

Everyone that ordered over the weekend we are trying to get your order out. People are telling us there are UPS stores and hubs open in the Houston area, if you know of one that is open and sending out packages, let us know!

Bringin' it up for some HIDs!

I pulled up to a co workers lexus last night. Their hids were the same color as mines, but no where near as bright. Is your low the same as most oems or brighter? This person also appeared to have regular lamps, not projectors. Boy these light up anything reflective.

We've noticed that they usually seem brighter than most OEM HID set ups.



Also! on a side note, because of hurricane Ike we've been slowed down in the shipping process. We are unable to find an open UPS Store or Hub in the Houston area. As soon as we are able to find one all orders will be going out. Sorry for the inconvenience everyone. Also we are trying to answer e-mails, PM's and phone calls the best we can at this moment, so please bare with us.

Boy I am glad I over nighted those back to you for exchange. Thats not normally a service I provide to a merchant. :)

I always get a nice laugh out of this. Whenever I'm just coasting along and see a vehicle with OEM HIDs, I love pulling up next to them and just masking over their light with mine :). It's even funnier when they notice and just get a crossed look on their faces.

Actually he noticed my lights the other night as to why he came up to me since we get off at the same shift.

You want a laugh? There is an suv manufacture out there who offers hid lights, I think its the nissan murono or something and man, their hids look like flashlights cause the beam is so narrow and useless.

So far I have yet to get flashed or have the cops where i work or live pull me over or say anything and I take to them on a daily bases to see whats going on.

Although high is even brighter and better, I kind of like low beam. Its enough corona to light up anything reflective in front of you and the street in front of your car.

Sweet, whats the price for a set of 9006 3000K?
For just bulbs it is $80 for a pair
For a whole kit it is $150

my HIDs just went out
(NOT PURCHASED FROM YOU!!!)
got them from a friend and I want to just buy some new ones.
however i dont know much about the lights.
so....
I need low beams for a 2007 tC. I would like 10000k.
I think that would be the 9006 HID Kit , right?
When I goto buy it asks for either 35w or 50w or Slim.
Im not sure which one i need.
and i dont know what harness either. Whats the differences?
Will buy as soon as i understand what these things are lol

As long as you have OEM headlamps you do in fact need a 9006 HID kit. Also for the 35w vs 50w the differences go as follows:
-50w ballast are brighter than 35w ballast
-50w ballast drop a bulbs kevlin color by 1000k. So an 8000k bulb will look like a 7000k bulb with 50w ballast.
-50w ballast make the price go up by $15
-50w ballast last just as long as 35w ballast and does not shorten the life of any of the components.

Also just get Relay Harness set up.

is the slim ballast 35w or 50w?

Slim ballast are 35w

^ lmaoo nice

Its near where mike vick use to live in Surry, VA. Very rural area, plenty of bugs and farm animals. I am my parents taxi, so after work 10 pm I will drive 58 miles to their place, spend the night, take them to Richmond or where ever the appointment is, bring them back to their house, then I drive back to Richmond to work. Yup, half a tank of gas, upwards to 200 miles.

Whats amazing is that on the darkest of nights, its still light out rather its the moon, stars or surrounding lights. Lots of warehouses and commercial lighting in sandston, va and man, they make the night sky an orangish color.

Your lights work well. Seems they make green lights stay til you pass under them. I use to have lights turn yellow as I approach and I stop for yellow lights.

hey i sent you a pm

Hey, take a look at these and give me some advice. Do I need a different color, do my fogs need to be raised? This is the type of weather somtimes I drive home in and its effing difficult to see anything but a line a few feet in front of the car.

Wow, ok your 3000k fog lights do show lines that can be seen within the light of the 4300k low's.

When you ask if you need a different color, how do you mean? Did you just replace your stock bulbs with other bulbs? or do you have HID's?

I'd rec. 6000k HID's if you're looking to upgrade. I've seen these things to shine a long way away. You may wish to look into doing yellow fogs, not sure what k that is though.

Right, Do I need a different K bulb. Its all hid, 4300 high and low and 3000k fog. What can be done to increase vision? I see on a clear night I can see at least 4 lines along the road with low and no fogs.

can't wait to get them tomorrow!!

Should be receiving my kit today but I haven't gotten any notification of shipment :tap:....
Hope I get them today :nails:

operatic, guys, am I expecting too much from my lights? Do I need projectors? What about aiming? Instead of afjusting them, I just left them alone and decided to wait for people to flash me before I did any changes. I did raise my fogs an inch, however seems to have little impact since they are just a flood light. Do I need a different color bulb? I had considered 3000k as with my silver stars the 3000k fogs brought out a lot more detail, then switch to the silver stars to pass inspection. Not sure if yellow would be illegal in VA,but I do see other color head lights on cars down the interstate.

The lights are well worth the wait and the hardware feels bullet proof.

But I don't wanna wait!!! lol :P

I'm just hoping they update me....

The problem really is the fact that you're limited by the factory housings. In his case, I would raise the fog lights to get the most out of them. There's not a whole lot else we can do there. Even with the factory HID's on a Mini Cooper S, it's hard to see in the rain when it starts pouring hard down here :T

Any aftermarket projector won't help you really. A different color bulb usually does not make a big difference. We have had some people feel that they can see better with 12k than they can with a 5k in the low beams. But the 3k set up in the fogs is the best to help see better in rain / fog / snow. Also yellow fog lights are not illegal in any state as far as I have found out. But I do know in some states it is illegal to turn the fog lights when there is not adverse conditions outside.

hey quick question. does there have to be some sort of power connected to the battery terminal for these kits?

hey quick question. does there have to be some sort of power connected to the battery terminal for these kits?
Only if you order with the relay harness. If you use the PnP harness, then it just plugs into your OEM connection and draws power through there.

hey i ordered purple hid for 9007 a week ago and i haven't heard anything ... can i get ETA?

Op, got my lights installed on my 09 xb. The highs are wonderful, I have more than enough high beam light I need. HOWEVER, the lows are rather dim. The car has projection lamps and the h11 bulb I removed was rated at 55watts where as the ballast driving the 4300k bulb is 35 watts. Think I need to upgrade my ballast or what? The lows are just dim in relation to the h4s on my xa I had.

Because the 2009 xB uses projectors, the light is not spread all over the place like it was with your older xA that had a reflective housing. If you notice, if you drive up to a wall you'll have a very smooth cut off line where light does not go above that line or very little does. You might remember that your old xA did not have that and the light was all over the place. That is the only reason why it seems like they are dimmer.

Our single xenon bulbs for the xB now have a halogen high beam and a xenon low beam. But if you want to upgrade to a bi-xenon kit, you'd actually need a new wiring harness and 2 more ballast.

Got them fully installed. The 3000k 50 watt high beams are killer and BRIGHT. It makes low beam seem like led vs 4300k 35 watt hid light.

The harness does not quite reach the way I want to route the wires, can I lengthen it?

BTW, I have 2 h4 4300k bulbs from my xa kit and relay harness if anyone is interested.

He was an @$$!!!!!!!!!!!

He stayed there too. Why the heck would you pull in front of someone on a dark lonely road who had freaking bright lights?

I follow those people, but thats just me. I had hoped he would stayed in the left lane or slowed back down. So, I had to shut the high beams off. Another guy did just that and rode beside me in the left lane and let me light the way.

Any idea if yellow heads on low are legal in VA? I may use my h11 fog bulbs for my lows.

I have a friend that just bought a 2009 Nissan Altima (2 door). He is asking if you have any HID kit for his car. i think he want a 6000k or light blue color (I guess that's 8000k).

6000K is light blue, 8000K is a bit more blue

If the bulbs burn out (which is rare b/c of the way they burn and are constructed), yeah, you just buy a new set of bulbs from Operatic. No need for an entirely new kit.

Hey operatic, I know this has probably been answered somewhere in this thread, but 145 pages is a lot to look through, so...

I am looking at your website for a bi-xenon kit for my '07 tC. What bulb size should I be looking for? (9006 doesn't look like an option for bi-xenon)

Would it be better instead of going bi-xenon to just get a seperate set of HIDs for my high-beams? I think that might be the better alternative so that I don't just have wasted space in my headlights.

Final question, the disclaimer for "off-road" use only, I'm assuming that means that these kits are not street legal? Has anyone else here run into issues getting pulled over for having HIDs?

Stupid questions I know, but I appreciate the help!

Pmed.

from what i have read, all hids are illegal if they didnt come with it from the factory. it just depends on how much you stand out, K temp and color, to be noticed by the cops and if they wanna bust you on something that small. its usually the younger ones wanting to make a name for themselves.

I'd assume then, that staying around 4300K and 6000K would be alright?

I'm thinking more about the visibility of it vs. how much I stand out. I live outside of D.C., but at the same time there are a lot of back roads that I take to get to class that are overflowing with an out of control white-tail deer population. It'd be nice to see em coming...

Plus it looks cool :silly:

Thanks for the reply,

Ben

yea i got 6k and i dont get noticed at all. i have an 08 with projectors which makes hids look stock. along with my fogs, i can see quite a bit more. the higher the K the lower the visibility, most of the time.

Not to threadjack, but where is a good place to go for the projectors? Did you do the retrofit yourself? How much am I going to be spending on the whole sha-bang?

Thanks again,
Ben

08+ come w/ projectors. not sure on retro-fits prices but doing a quick search came up with this, might point you in the right direction

For your tC, you need only a single xenon kit. If you wanted to do both your low and high beams you'd need just 2 single xenon kits, a 9006 for the low beam and a 9005 for the high beam.

As the bi-xenon kits are only for cars that originally had the high and low beam on the same bulb like the first generation xA and xB

Yes, they are not street legal like any other HID kit, but most people do not run into problems unless you're in CA, then you might want to stay in 6000k or under.

Man, you must have caught that cop on a bad day, I'm not quite sure how amber washer nozzles would be citation-able offense?

Hey operatic do you have any pics of these installed on a 1st gen xb

I'm curious if there is much glare and considering i'm in cali I would go 4300

sorry toooooo many pages to look thru

how much would it be for a 9006 custom yellow bar color and how do you order custom yellow bar.

This is the only pic we really got. Also the glare won't be to bad as all of our H4 kits come with anti-glare shields

For just the bulbs it is $80 shipped for a pair or $150 shipped for a whole kit.

You can just order through the site, use the coupon code: scionlife for the $130 shipped overnight price.

You have the option of running a power and ground (aka relay harness) with the kit. Most people do it as you run the chance of burning out your OEM harness. Some people run it, others don't. Some of had no problems what so ever with running no relay harness but then some have had problems, it is a hit or miss partner.

I saw that, I'm sorry :( Hit you up though

Op, do you have any stubby bulbs? I have a tacoma truck with piaa off road lights and seems they have just enough room for the bulb it takes. I would love to make them hid. The stock lamps seem the old fashion sealed square beam units.

Hi Mike, one of my HID bulb turned purple, it is over 1.5 year since I installed. Let me know how to order a pair, is that from your site ?

If it is an H3 style bulb, we carry the H3c which would work just fine in the housing as it is very stubby. But pull the bulb to make sure, I know they usually are all different types of bulb sizes in those off road driving lights.

i have a 09 tc and i am wanting some hids for the low beam, what can you suggest?

I got a 07 I want hid for high beam, low beam, and the stock fog halos. Most likely around the 6k to 8k area, but I do not want it to be blinding but I do want it blueish. What would this cost for all three of these and which would you recommend?

I ordered mine from the website on Sunday and still haven't received them. I haven't even received an e-mail letting me know they were shipped yet. What happened to overnight shipping? Two days later and they haven't even shipped!

You'll need an H11 kit. As for the color, pick the one you like the most :) Most people tend to go with 6000k or 8000k

As long as you have factory headlamps and not aftermarket projectors, you use the following:
low beams = 9006
high beams = 9005
fog lights (i'm assuming they are OEM style but with just a halo in them) = 9006

You may want to double check the fog lights as aftermarket brands are sometimes different even if they are OEM style.

The only people you'll really bother with the HIDs are those random mole people that see any light and they go crazy.

I also sent you a PM about the price.

If you ordered a custom color, it takes 9-13 business days. But either way I sent you a PM to figure things out.

Are these street legal in Nevada? I want the purple pair but I'm just afraid of being pulled over :/

All aftermarket HID are illegal. Strive for the color that doesn't stand out that much. 6000k and under.

That is correct. And up for some HIDs!

Operatic i PMed you back was waiting on a response to help assist confirming a purchase
what is the relay harness and PnP Harness...I want the relay harness cuz it saves me time than making one but im not sure what is meant by Relay Harness and PnP Harness

In short
Plug and Play = ballast are connected directly to your OEM connection
Relay = ballast are run through our relay harness and power is taken directly from the battery and not through your OEM connection

So, I finally got mine today. They've been waiting for me at UPS since Tuesday (as expected). They tried to deliver it, but there was a problem with the address so I had to call UPS to fix this. The wiring was a pain for me because the aftermarket projectors I have were made to hook up to the stock harness. The bulbs used aren't stock size though, and the HID wiring matches the bulbs, not the stock harness. It wasn't hard to figure it out though, and I knew this was going to be an issue. I am using the relay, I don't want to take any chances and mess up the stock wiring.

Overall, I am satisfied. The HIDs are brighter and have a better beam pattern the the Sylvanias. After seeing them side-by-side with the Sylvanias, I wish I ordered 6000K.

For anyone making the switch from SilverStars to HIDs, I definitely recommend 6000K.

I've uploaded a video to YouTube for comparison.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FsgN4SIj9I

Just making sure that you got my order a few days ago. :]

Huh? I had silver stars ultra and found 4300 to be a perfect match, just BRIGHTER.

Now what do the new corvettes use, those lights are white as white can be. They must be using 4300k on a 50 watt ballast or something.

For anyone making the switch from SilverStars to HIDs, I definitely recommend 6000K.

The new corvettes use 4100k D1S bulbs but they seem rather blue to me in person unless you're looking at them dead on. Also all of the color you see on factory HIDs are made from the projectors.

PMd everyone back :)

how much is it for new 9006 6000k bulbs only?

Op, I checked my driving lights, they use h3 bulbs. Looks like from the dead bulbs the filiment is intact, however the base of the bulb and metal part was a purplish, bluishing discolor vs the new bulb. I suspect heat destroyed it. I know hid bulbs get hot too, but does heat or can heat cause the same damage?

Second, can the ballast be out in the weather? My previous cars they have been under the hood, but the length of bulb wires means they would need to be mounted in the bumper vs under the hood.

Thanks

HIDs run cooler than halogen bulbs so you shouldn't have that problem. Since they run cooler than halogen bulbs the same type of damage will probably not occur.

Yes, the ballast can be out in the weather. I had my ballast mounted in the bumper for 2.5 years and still have yet to have a problem.

It's all good, we all make mistakes here and there :)

hey i just installed a set i got on tuesday and the lights keep flickering. any ideas how to aid this? thanks!

If they flicker without getting full brightness, they are hooked up backwards. If they light up, but flicker, you got a dirty connector and need the relay kit.

I ordered a 6000K 9006 HID kit from you a few months back and they have been wonderful!! However, in a few months I'm gonna be buying a set of 2008 headlights and I'm gonna need to buy a set of H11 bulbs (thats what the low beams are in the '08's right??) and I think I wanna do 8000K this time :ponder:

Do you have a picture with 6000K and 8000K (possibly 10000K) beside each other??

Thanks

Yes all you would need is a pair of H11 bulbs. Also I do not have a picture of 6k and 8k beside each other. I have them in just separate pictures.

We're all noobs at one point or another :) Also you do not need to cut any wires, everything is Plug and Play :)

The kit comes with replacement light bulbs you swap out. You then plug the connector into the old connector that powers a transformer that powers the light or use a relay kit that plugs into the light connector, transformer, then battery.

The hardest part is finding a spot to mount the transformers to power the lights and its 1 for each light. So if you have a low, high and fog, thats 6 transformers you need to mount under the hood.

On my xa I ended up zip tieing them to my strut bar for the heads.

hey pat, i have an issue

bought mine for over a lil over a 2 years ago and my left headlight turns on slightly slower than my right headlight bulb. sometimes it doesnt turn on at all and i have to turn the headlights off then back on in order for it to ignite...

is this a relay issue or a ballast issue? you sent me a new relay about a year ago so hopefully that isnt the issue...

thanx for the help

The first thing to check is to see if there is a loose wire or connection. Also check for corrosion on the relay and on the fuses. Those can cause that to happen. If they check out fine, then swap the bulbs around and see if the problem follows the bulb. We also sent you a PM :)

im soooooooooooooooo confused on my new hid bulbs. i know what the 2 small wires are for (power) but then there appears to be a harness that connects to the oem harness. but the confusing part is that theres another end that looks like it needs to be plugged into somewhere else.

HELP!

http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s239/sciontcman/1209082114.jpg

i know what the top 2 on the left are for, but wtf with the other harness?

other harness connects your OEM plug to your ballast.

your ballast will output the power to the male/female plug that goes into your bulb... :)

just helpin out pat.
