HID Kit Install 56K BEWARE!!, HID's from culpable Options

[CelicaGT04]

Hey guys as you all know we recently had a GB for JLM HIDS. I got my package today and installed them. Here is my Install, (just remember that eveyones install will be at their own risk and opinions)

First off, you will want to unplug the battery.


Next you will want to remove your stock bulbs and set them aside in case you somehow mess up the HIDs or want to use them later.




Then youll want to get the HID ready for install, you will want to pull it out of the protective plastic covering. BE EXTEMELY CAREFUL TO NOT TOUCH THE BULB.



Once the bulb is in place and in socket you can prematurely mount the Ballast where you want. (my bulbs were a little hard to get in so be careful and have patience)


Next connect the bulb wires to the ballast sockets. Make sure they snap conpletely.


After you have all the ballast connected on both sides (RH, and LH) you will need to run the resistance wires to your liking. I ran mine from the left bulb above the engine by the stock strut bar.


You will want to connect the ground wire to a suitable spot in your engine bay. (sorry didnt think i needed a pic of this step. Also the fuse has red wire coming out that needs to be connected to the positive pole of your battery. (Make sure it is connected to the battery if not, the HID's will not work.)

After you have everything installed and connected, double check to make sure everything is how you want and secure the ballast with the sticky tape included and use zipties if necessary.

Then clean up and turn on the lights, they may flicker at first but will soon warm up.


I am extremely happy with the results.

ENJOY!!

[Slick]

Nice! you made it sound too easy.

[CelicaGT04]

SOrry about the picture size, i was in a hurry to get these uoloaded. I will see if i can do anything about the size.

Enjoy

[Chanh55]

Nice pics. You need to resize those things.

[6strngs]

Sweet. now I know how to put mine in I'm trying to get my motor mounts back in first though so I can get the car running first (this seems more important to me for some reason, lol) but if I have enough time, I might do this later today/tonight. how long did it take you start to finish?

[chacha]

i didn't even use that long cord thing...just the ballast...were we suppose to use that too? anybody had problem like me posted on the GB HID KIT forum post....

looks good Mario

[LewFX]

long cord the resisters?

[tomazws]

Is that the dryest / safest place to mount the relay?

[tomazws]

I thought this is really funny... talk about Engrish...

[chacha]

how many connectors are on the core?...i have two adapters, one cap, and the (+) and (-)... is this correct....if so, im not connecting the core correctly, because i don't have another cap to enclose the adapter for the OEM plug...can someone show or pinpoint where each of the caps and adapter goes to which....

The top block looking thing is the resistance or resistor, The two cords with the yellow wrapped around it are the connectors that need to be connected to the ballasts. The other cord is the power supply it needs to be connected to one of the stock OEM light sockets. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

[chacha]

aren't there two OEM light sockets?, i only have one to cover...the other OEM socket will be exposed... but i do appreciate your help

[CelicaGT04]

Yes, there are two OEM sockets, so you have to connect the power connector to one of the OEM sockets. I just taped over my other OEM socket that i did not use.

[chacha]

you mean the two terminals (+) anmd (-) have to be plugged into the OEM socket? i must be driving you nuts man, thanks for your help!

The blue color is the power outlet which needs to be plugged into here.



That is where you need to plug the power outlet.

and the red circle is where the ballast need to be connected to.

[chacha]

i got that part...it's just the other OEM that im worry about...i don't have X2 of the one with the blue circle to connect to the other OEM socket...sorry for the confusion...i also try your method of blocking the other oem socket and covering it up, but only one headlight shines...other is dead...when turned on

[CelicaGT04]

Yeh i know, the kit only comes with 1 power outlet connected to the resistor. So you will have 1 OEM socket that is not connected to the ressistor.

[LewFX]

i got them in, but what do the extra 2 cords with metal poking out go?

[Mynzeyes]

They go to one of your H1 connectors, or you can cut and splice it to the stock headlight wiring harness. That's where the signal for the relay comes from, and then goes to the ballast. .

[LewFX]

wheres this go?

[CelicaGT04]

Those two wires were not included in my 9006 Kit. Do your lights work without them being pluged in to anything?

[tomazws]

Those plug into your original H1 socket (Red +, Black -).

[yyet]

I have a quick question. . . can you wire the HIDs to the stock headlight harness and not use the resistance wire and HID harness the battery connector? please PM me ASAP.

[LewFX]

ill say no

[yyet]

it actually works pretty well, any one else have comments?


Yet

[simboes]

lol, i about to get me some projectors, and a HID kit, yet the pictures are not there anymore!!!

any chance of re-uploading them?

[jason]

bump, pics anyone?

[CelicaGT04]

What pictures do you need? I can retake some for you.

[massbrandon]

I need pics of the install or something with Projectors. I installed mine but theyre not working. I dont know what to do

[jason]

heres another write up & comparing against another car, i posted some small gif images i think like 80k ttl for all of them

I need pics of the install or something with Projectors. I installed mine but theyre not working. I dont know what to do

whats happening? dont light up at all? blinking?

[massbrandon]

well I got them working(blew a fuse installing them), but now my drivers side wont turn on at all. I checked all my wiring, the fuses, and all of the connections to make sure everything was still in order and everything was good. This is where I get lost. The only thing I havent done is check the bulb to find out if maybe it got broken or is blown already.

[massbrandon]

so I started my car today just to watch the passenger side one start to blink then it quit on me too. Could someone please help me with this.

These bulbs are VERY sensitive to any touch or movement.
If you have messed with them in ANY way it could result
in malfunction. Maybe the bulb, or ballast, are bad. Both
can result in your light not working properly. Where did you
get your kit from?

[massbrandon]

I got the kit from the GB that culpable ran. So in other words I got the same ones that everyone else has.

[jason]

ballast....

mishandling in shippin can poss cause that so im told, my one did that, not using them right now so i dont know how the other one is holding up, but it was working perfectly when i had it in ... the blinking when you first turn them on at idle - you can just rev it to give it some mroe juice and it should stop the blinking

also blinking is not good for hid bulbs, and if you touched them or got anytype of moisture or oilyness on them it may cause the bulb to overheat and blow.. if the bulbs are clear and no cracks then id think it was the ballast - try reading up on the system on wikki if ya have nothing better to do if for nothing else gives you an idea of what all is goin on up there in them headlights

[celica47]

massbrandon: I had the same problem also bro. Both my ballast working fine....then after driving it, the passanger side quit working. I blew about 3 "15" fuses. SO now i have to get a new ballast. On a side note, i checked the bulb and it works fine so i know its the ballast that is malfunctioned.

[kCed]

i keep blowing the 15a fuse for the headlights...

ive read on the net to put 20a in....i dont know why they keep blowing

[Newb]

hey sorry to bump this old post, but it is the only, step by step hid install for the 6th gen I can find and the pictures arnt working for me. Would it be possible to rehost them? thanks very much.

or also a link to a install of a kit on another 6th gen would be awesome as well.

[GotToyota]

Pictures are not working. Can someone re-upload these?

[Culpable04]
