FMuscle Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 The best way to go HID, is a retrofit. That means installing a projector in your headlamp. that means opening your headlamps. But only if you have clear lenses like the Glanza, the N/A won't do... Any other way is just shit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gainzy Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 On the imports using HID'S show up all the fade of the lights unless buying new lights I would stick with bulbs might not be as bad on the uk specs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FMuscle Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Best keep your money until you can do it. If, like mine, it is terrible, get better bulbs in the meantime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FMuscle Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Don't leave them in the oven for an hour!! You have to remove everything you can get to from the housing, any clips, globes, screws & connectors. Then you have the coice of two methods, oven or heat gun. The gun takes longer, but has less risk. If you choose the oven, heat it up to 300°F, once it's up to temp turn it off and put your lamp in for 5 minutes.Start prying the lens off from a corner (I'd go with the inner corner on the Starlet), making sure not to let the sealant get on the lens, cut it as you go.Once the lens is off install the projector by its instructions, make sure it's pointed the right way (a mate had a pro do his, the cut out was at 45° instead of flat...), clean all marks and prints from the inside, put the lens back on, and anothe 5 minutes in the oven.Once out, make sure to let it cool down with some pressure so it sets properly. That's how the guy who did my Kia holds them back together: straping them together with a rag to protect the lens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
