EP70-PT Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) So, tired of not finding the rare H3C bulbs for your Starlets? Want LED but don't want to spend crazy money? Then this is a tutorial for you Tools needed: Soldering iron, solder, thin 0.75mm copper wire (you can find this on old transformers or coils), blown H3C bulbs and LED W16W T15 bulbs: Here's the ebay link:http://www.ebay.fr/itm/112114156313?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT First you need dead H3C bulbs, these ones will work best, they come on the glanzas from factory usually: remove the bulbs and tear them apart like this, unsolder the bottom connections for the halogen bulbs: then take your LED bulbs and solder copper wire on each pole: Slide the assembly through the old H3C casing holes that you previously unsoldered and cleaned: Solder the connections: Let's test them! (I made a custom Glanza fog light harness for an N/A and I didn't install it yet so these are bench tests, will post installed night pics later) Here's the result: And here's the light they make (note: it's daytime), pics don't do it justice, I can't look at them directly due to how bright they are XD If you have any questions, drop me a PM, cheers!

Ollieh17 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 you can just buy h3 bulbs and add a wire that's earthed to the bulb and fog lights housing. seems easier Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EP70-PT Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 An H3C LED kit is like 60€, this is half that or even less of you have the tools already xD I'll take a pic with the fog light only on the driveway when I get home should help see better at night since Starlet headlights are shit...

Ollieh17 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 H3 led bulb is like 3 quid, bit of wire and you have a h3c. that way you don't even need any soldering skills or anything granted this is more oemish but easier solutions Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EP70-PT Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Also, use some epoxy/ceramic heat resistant paste to prevent vibrations and to make them durable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
