You need one kit for each PAIR of bulbs.

Therefor, if you want to just do your low beams, ONE kit.

Low beams and fog lights? Two kits.

 

Ok so Im a total noob... But when you say low beams... Thats the normal light you drive around with.. But what about high beams? Does it have hi beams lol? I mean that button u press and the blue light turns ON, on the dash... That hi light!

Also... Is this legal? hehe...

 

yes, low beam is the normal light.
you would have high beams but they wouldnt be HIDs since our cars use different bulbs for each and the HID kit onl comes with 1 pair.

legal.... unfortunetly not. no aftermarket HID kits are legal but as long as its not blue you can always say its OEM (original equipment = stock)

 

On a scale of 1-10 what does this rate difficulty wise... Im afraid I'll buy it and I wont know how 2 install it lol... I did redo all my lights inside the car (Dome light, Gaugeplate lights, AC *****) But im not 2 sure if I can handle something big like a HID kit... Any comments...

 

1-10 (one being the easiest)
i'd say its a 1.
plug and play

But I heard some rumors that HID is so hot that they sometimes melt the housings... Is our scion headlight housings safe with 4300k HID?


Also... I want HID lights becuz I want more light on the road.. But at the same time I dont wanna be flashing other cars passing by... Anyone else whos got the 4300k can tell me how bad or good the scion xb stock headlights handle these HID kits from HIDMOBILE???

 

bumpa

 

HID's run COOLER then halogen bulbs. Them being hotter is a myth. I can literally feel very lil to no heat if I put my hand in front of those bulbs compared to my halogens where you can. They run cooler, use less power, and last much longer. Plus, they shine the road up like crazy.

 

like Invertalon said, they are actually cooler than halogens.

in this DIY the guy actually checks the temp of the halogens and HIDs. The HIDs were 5 degrees cooler

 

Woot ok great im going with 4300k H11 From MobileHID! Thanks for the help


I also saw someone post earlier in this post not to touch the bulbs with your bare hands... Whys that?

 

The naturally occuring body oils that are left by fingerprints will cause the bulb to get hotter than it should, and lead to premature failure.

 

exactly

the same thing can be said to other things other than bulbs

 

so that car even if it isnt a scion should be the same way 2 hook up the HID? Just got it in the mail!

wow... I just looked in the car and those low beams look cramped and reaally hard 2 get 2... Ohh man...

 

yup.
just plug the new wires into the stock harness. actual HIDs wires are color coded. Positive to positive on battery, negative to negative and you're done.

what takes the longest is finding where to run the wires. if you dont care that people can see them then just place it away from moving parts. I decided to hide everything. if you want a stealth install run the wires through the square tube (where the hook for the hood is). there are opening on the bottom side near the headlights. its a little tricky but worth it IMO

 

when i installed mine i weighed 265lb. it was like installing it with mittens.
if i can do it i'm sure you should be able to :D

good luck

 

Woohoo finished!!

But what are these little blue bulbs that came with the KIT?

 

i think it might be the strobe kit that Cliff tosses in for free. i got a set for christmas and i dont know how to install it...
