QUOTE(ScoobyDooCruiser @ Jul 12, 2005 - 1:48 AM) Also, I'm note sure if anyone mentioned this- you can use the side-marker lights in the "accent" bulb on the low beams. You have to shave off a little bit of plastic to get them to fit in, but its pretty easy. Thats only if you want though... Anyways. Best of luck. And when you get them hooked up, you will see the severe problem of the RHD lights. As soon as I get a free weekend, I'm trying Kadett's mod (thanks for writing it man!)

Like already said a dozen times. You can and probably will blind oncoming traffic. And that can be dangerous. So you can adjust them down but i think that dangerous too because you will have a less lit road in front of you.
Its your choice! -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

I have now read all the guides, and have kinda gotten cold feet for this mod.
The Idea of thrashing projectors for 700dollars Isn't that tempting to be honest. =/ RHD conversion kit Is this a good solution, or will It chance the visual looks on the projector? This post has been edited by Valcor: Jun 10, 2007 - 9:26 AM --------------------  |

A sticker like that shoudl be used on the outside of the glass. So thats always visible. Its really not that hard to do, if you use the boiling water methode you wont risk anything. Except when you drop to light out of your hands of course

I've even been to the local toyota store. Where did you guys find them? You can use a universal H4 connector, my Toyota Dealer had them at the storage. H4 has 3 sprongs instead of the H1 which has 2, but it fits over the H1 sprongs. If you want I can try monday/tuesday to get 2 of them for you and ship them over if you still aren't able to find them yourself. Here a picture of mine.

I have gotten a hold of the universal conector that you've got. But I can't find a connector for the "park-light". The smaller bulb In the low beam

The smaller bulb In the low beam Like I told you in PM, now I have a picture. Strip the wire and snap one of these on, then slide that onto the sprong in the socket. Not the cleanest solution but it worked for me.
