btw i guess my next question should be, wear can i go to get a relay?

 

hidextra is the place for 10$ bro

 

Can anybody get a picture from inside the car looking out the front with HIDs on. I found that the light pattern with the stock bulbs suck ___!! I even tried different bulbs to see if that would help, a little better than stock but nOt much.

 

Theres one at page 7 i think.. Why wat does it look like? Wen my car is facing the wall it makes a shape of a bat lol

 

k im confused, what was the relay needed for? i got my lights in with no probs, lows and fogs, both work fine, fogs wont light up sometimes if i leave them on when i shut off my headlights and turn them back on but if i use the button everytime they work fine

 

Its just to get power directly from the battery..

 

here are a couple of pics. I guess its not that bad but when other cars are next to me all I see is the "beam light" I guess thats what its called.

 

^^^^^^ I thought that the headlights could be spread ( left/right ) out a little but the dealer said that there is no adjustment for that.

 

i thought the same.. i think dats how it was on my 08tc as far as i can remember. i thought at first that it was just the hid lights so i bought another one and sold the first one.. i guess thats just how it is as it is the same with my friends 07 miata

Here is a DIY – all you need is a 3-foot piece of wire and two solderless connectors https://www.scionlife.com/forums/showthread.php?t=202057

 

i bought a relay harness from V-led.com and it wasnt close to being correct. i had to replace part of the harness, the relay, AND rewire the entire thing. needless to say, im pretty much an expert at how that thing is supposed to work now if you guys want to know how to make your own CORRECT harness, let me know, i made a wire diagram for it.

BTW, auto part stores and radio shack all (should) carry the relay, its a 4 pin, 40amp relay.

 

Those aren't HIDs, they are after market halogen bulbs.
My wife bought a 2011 corolla a couple weeks be for I bought my tc, so I'm thinking about giving her the bulbs and getting 8000k or maybe 6000k HIDs.
Maybe if I get the factory fog lights it will help a little.

 

55w 10k Lows/35w 3k Fogs










Headlights only:


Headlights/Fogs:


have to say it was WELL worth the wait from DDM, easiest thing to install

 

i did have 8ks hids on my 08 tc

 

I ordered a rapter 55w 8000k kit yesterday, cant wait for it to come in!

 

Very very cool!!!!

 

would i need a relay if i have 35w Hid lows and a 35w hid fog? and someone with hid fogs, how did you mount your ballasts

 

^^ That x2!

 

im not using a relay and mine work fine, and side of bumper
