QUOTE (Special_Edy @ Apr 11, 2012 - 1:23 PM)  Sylvania Silverstar Ultra on the driverside vs Sylvania standard bulb on the passenger side. Not really "brighter" but supposedly the color is closer to Sunlight, so your eyes can actually see better. They work with a special coating on the bulb that reflects light back inside of the bulb which causes it to heat up more and produce a higher temperature color. red is cold, orange is hotter, followed by yellow and white with blue being the hottest color of light. *edit* the camaera really doesnt do it justice, but the Silverstar ultra is really a much better color than the yellow looking regular bulbs   Looks great. Nice cold and modern-looking light :-) The problem is that almost any modification of your car in Europe and especially here in Denmark has to be approved for it to be legal so I cant just upgrade to HID. |

QUOTE (Box @ Apr 10, 2012 - 1:20 PM) Could do what I'm going to do, get some 9011 and 9012 HIR bulbs and modify the tabs(same manner as celicalibre mentioned using 9005 for low) to fit our housing. Same wattage, so don't have to worry about melting the harness. Now your low is brighter than high would be, and high is even brighter. Next best thing to HID. QUOTE 9006 - 55 watts - 1000 lumens 9005 - 65 watts - 1700 lumens 9012 - 55 watts - 1870 lumens 9011 - 65 watts - 2350 lumens Sounds cool do you have any pictures? :-) QUOTE (richee3 @ Apr 10, 2012 - 12:27 PM) Yeah, those bulbs never illuminate the road very well. They're usually just for looks. The factory headlight lenses are definitely glass so they shouldn't glaze over like plastic lenses, but that's not to say that they couldn't just be covered in hundreds of small pits. But now that I know it's glass I can start looking for some effective cleanser for glass! :-) |

I already have upgraded the bulbs - that's the problem ;-) The light looks much cooler than stock but they doesn't light up the road very good.  yeah those are very cool but also too expensive for me |

OK! Nice to know :-P I just think that the glass looks a bit frosted but maybe it's just the way the lens is made.. I would like it to be more clear. Also I'm not impressed by how my car lights up the road at night but that is possibly because of the bulbs I'm driving with.. some xenon-look-a-likes.. :-) |

QUOTE (3sgeBG @ Feb 8, 2012 - 3:24 PM) Did you like the original collapsible power antena on the 6 GN, it`s is not so long for this car? I think, that it`s no look so good. I think about, how to it`s make a shorter 2 ways, without to broke it,,''''',,, Some ideas, friends ? I started with byuing a cheap bee-sting antenna on eBay but the finish was horrible and it looked really cheap - sometimes you get what you pay for I guess  Bought the s2000 antenna afterwards and it's really great - looks perfect on the car you should definetely go for it  |

Hi 6gc I want to change the stock bulbs in the indicator lights, tail light and tail fog light. I've got 100% stock lights on my Celica which means that the lenses are coloured - orange lenses on indicators and red lenses on the rear light. So I'm not sure whether I should buy white LED's or orange and red LED's? I'm afraid that the light will be TOO light with white LED's and too dark with coloured LED's. Does anyone know if the bulbs are plain white or coloured stock? I haven't had the time to look for myself yet so if anyone knows it would be much appreciated :-) Looking forward to some great answers :-) Greetings from Denmark  |

QUOTE (NWCelica @ Aug 23, 2011 - 5:03 PM) 18x8 front- 18x9.5 rear, what needs to be done to fit them? Nothing I guess? I've seen 19 inch wheels on 6gens so I don't think that 18's will be a problem. If your Celi is lowered it could be a problem though. You should do some measuring to be sure there's space enough for the wheels. |
