jamesmark Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 If anyone is thinking or needing to replace their lights, do not be silly by buying replacement bulbs!! buy HID's. I had them on my last Supra, and just installed them on my UK spec supra. Massive massive difference juch brighter and you are able to see further compared to normal run of the mill bulbs, and here are some before and after pictures. Installed 4300k HID's.

Class One Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I replaced my sidelights with some PIAA leds. I think some of them these days come emarked. I would definately say without a doubt that buying HiDs for my Supe was THE best mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesmark any chance of a picture of the engine bay to see where you fitted the ballasts Not now I can't. I have just (for now) slid it between the battery and the wing, and the other is fixed down with velcro behind the intercooler pipe going into the wing.

See the post above yours. 1. Unlug the lights 2. Take out the lights 3. Plug in the HID lights 4. Plug in the ballasts (hint:- they can only fit one way) 5. Turn on lights to check they work. With J-specs it has been known that you have to reverse the polarity to make them work, which means modding the plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a look on ebay from your thread. Is it the dealer who's got the same pic for all the different car models? What make are yours James. I've got to get some real sooon.

Carl_S Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Nice one mark. The difference is clear (Har-Har) seems like we both install HIDS on a car today, you with obviously more success that me mate. I replaced my sidelights with some PIAA leds. I think some of them these days come emarked. I would definately say without a doubt that buying HiDs for my Supe was THE best mod. what are PIAA leds? they fit into standard pre facelift supe? where can one acquire them?

Those ballasts look a bit plasticy though.. I hope they are metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
