Ok....sooo....I know it's a bit late for me to start it but might as well do it now. Lol. I bought my 1997 Toyota Celica GT for $4,500 on February 27, 2012. It had 175,000 miles on the cluster. It was in very good condition. The only problem I had on it was it had a CEL light on. Which was just the speed sensor in the cluster not working. Replaced that and the CEL was cleared. Also my car didn't pass emissions test but I eventually had that fixed after running on premium and Lucas Cleaner. Overall I was more than happy to pay the overpriced $4500.

They're here! XD
Got my H1 Hid bulb inserted in the housing. I used LewFX method to get my HiD's installed. http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=42381 I used UTSlickVic's method to connect the accent socket. Just need to splice the other end into my parking/turn lights. http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...7&hl=accent All that's left is to take off my bumper and actually get them installed. Only thing I really need to do is find a way to wire my accent lights into my parking or turn light wires. -------------------- |

I am so jealous right now (I ordered mine over a month ago now!). They look really good! You are obviously very keen to get them on there, because you have certainly been doing all your research to have everything ready to go! We will be waiting anxiously for pics -------------------- SOLD :( 1997 ST204 Celica ZR -----> See it here on 6GC! 2013 October Celica of the Month XD Now: '00 NB8B Mazda MX5 -----> See it here in off topic! |

Is that Winnie the Pooh taking a nap in your bed?
Congrats on the projectors. You going to do the cutoff mod? It's really nowhere near as difficult as it sounds. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

That and blinding people is never nice. With the proper cutoff you should be able to run HID's in the low beams also.

I did it simply because the hot spot of light is right where the cutoff flicks up, right into oncoming traffic. The mod is a lot easier than I thought it would be. The lights are very easy to disassemble. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

Yea I tested them with my hids on and it seems like both lights need to be cut off if I'm correct. Since both are angled up to incoming traffic.
