Now here's Toyota Scion project #2

http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/view...a873e8a429af7e

This guy used BMW E46 (2000-2005 3 series) bixenons











I don't know if Toyota/Lexus engineers peruse this site but if you guys happen to be here, please take note of these exciting projects created by people like us here on this forum who were tired of you taking too long!!!! THIS is how you make HID setups. Very good work

This is really good work, looks like the scion headlight is perfectly designed for a retrofit. I might have to get a set and come up with something nice. Oh by the way we still gottta meet up Tiguy, I'm just real busy lately, school, court, work.

Did u do it or have someone else do it? If you did, I think we've made history!!!! You'll be the first female retrofitter! Trust me it'll mean alot in about 5-10 years hehe
Awesome job by the way

This Sat, me and Brian (the guy I did the Supra retrofit for) are hitting up the Mazda Event up here www.zoomzoomzoom.com
Check it out. I'll be there at 4pm although I may bump it up a little earlier. I'll have to check my sched. If you or anyone else want to go, sign up asap. Space is limited and the most spirited drivers will receive prizes hehe

I pretty much did it all myself. I had help to aim the lights & help cutting out the reflector bowls (because they're round) and a friend of mine who does stereo installs, etc did the wiring for me because I ran out of time before a show, but I did all of the custom retrofiting by myself. It was definitely more satisfying when I finished the job, knowing I did it!

I tried that zoom zoom site but it gives me some domain to buy thing, weird but yea that sounds cool I think I will go there, hopefully no one will pay attention to my little dent on the right side ( someone hit my car in the parking lot and drove of ) and it will only be fixed next week. Get me that exact website to sign up so I can be there.
