It's Toyota's fault for not bringing over the ST202 and ST205, true story. That's ok, even with a car that I like I probably won't really spend money on it. I'm a Jew and like to hoard money. tongue.gif

While I'm thinking about it, what HID kit did you end up going with? My brother just finished retrofitting his car with projectors, and wants HIDs now.

What socket does he need?
I can link the company that I got mine off and you have to choose the socket haha
They are an Australian Company called Delonix based in Western Australia, the ballasts are their own brand and the bulbs are meant to be Phillips, but I have my doubts about that... Either way, they are very good quality and haven't had any problems so far:

Delonix HID range

"Philips Patent Licensed" is just a nice way of saying, "We ripped off the patent held by Philips." tongue.gif If that's how much it costs for a decent kit I suppose he'll have to wait. Still trying to figure out a solution for his high beams, and that's a little more important at the moment. Went from a 9004 in a crappy reflector housing to a 9006 projector, and yet to figure out what to use for high beams. I said he should just get some giant rally lights to use a high beams, but he said no. tongue.gif

hmmm..... well, for a decent kit that is generally around the mark... they go for $50 on ebay but are very hit and miss... (I was lucky and got a full refund for my defective Asian branded one)...

9006 is also HB4 in Australia

Yeah, was kind of leery of the eBay stuff. I still say you should post pictures, throw in some disclaimers or what have you and be done with it. tongue.gif

Well, the past week I have done a little bit, I will start with the New Tool Box:

Making my life at home a lot easier when I need to work on my car smile.gif
Already used them to reconnect my front driving lights that disconnected when the last battery got removed...

I then did this:

To install my USB charger, which is now working fine smile.gif and located in the center console.

Went around to my mates to find his KE70's wheels had been repainted (By Him) in Candy Red (He painted my rear spats and side skirts)






And then we got around to painting His Girlfriend's Astra wheels Metallic Purple:




Thinking of repainting my stockies this colour....

His idea of rolling was hitting them with a mallet... Surprisingly it is in better condition now then it was before he did it...

If you mean the purple rims, they are for an Astra that the owner doesn't care about...so we didn't bother tongue.gif
