    Some Questions on Doing HIDs the Right Way

    Thanks for posting. They look good. Its good to know that they will fit with only minor trimming. It probably the glass lens making the cutoff a little fuzzy. That's why I went with plastic. You wouldn't happen to have any pictures of the back and how you mounted it would you? They...

    Doors don't shut unless slammed, any ideas?

    Yeah I know what you mean. I was just thinking your window may be way out of alignment causing it to much harder to close. What everyone else is suggesting is much more likely though I believe.

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Its free and takes about 30 seconds to set one up. It isn't hard at all. There are some other places out there that do the same thing, but photobucket seems to be the best and most commonly used.

    Some Questions on Doing HIDs the Right Way

    I called amazon about the lights and they were great about it, hopefully I will have them by the end of the week. Unfortunately I got an email from The Retrofit Source this morning saying that the harness needed for our cars is on backorder until November 8 - 11. I had them ship everything else...

    Some Questions on Doing HIDs the Right Way

    Well I just placed an order for the Mini H1 system. Hopefully it fits, I wouldn't mind spacing it to make it fit. If not I'll just exchange it for the Mini D2S. I got my package from amazon today that was supposed to be my plastic headlight housings, but I opened it up to find some wall decals...

    Doors don't shut unless slammed, any ideas?

    I guess I am used to my doors, but I have noticed that other people always seem to need a few tries to get the door to close all the way. Does the door close any easier with the window down?

    Some Questions on Doing HIDs the Right Way

    I was looking at a few videos and pictures of the LED lights and they seemed to put a lot of light on the ground right in front of the car. I didn't know that about HIDs. That's good to know. Yeah, I called them today also before I read this post. The guy I talked to said the 3.0 is still in...

    Some Questions on Doing HIDs the Right Way

    Ill try and keep it updated as I make progress. I thought about this, but I'm not sure if the performance is on par with HIDs. They are definitely a good plug and play option, but they are also pretty pricey right now. It would also worry me having something that is so specific that I wouldn't...

    2008 Supra MKIII - Project 1BYDFALT

    I just read through this whole thing, you are going to have a beautiful car when you are done. I don't know if I would be able to keep my sanity on such a long project. Make sure to post some pictures of the car when you get it all finished up!

    Some Questions on Doing HIDs the Right Way

    I didn't know that. I guess its good for rigidity, but it does sound like it will be a pain if they have to be altered. Tomorrow I will try and call The Retrofit Source and see what they have to say about the Mini D2S 3.0 and hopefully be able to make a decision on what I want to go with.

    MK3 Mile/Street car build

    Sorry to hear about that. Hope you at least had fun out there. Any chance you will make it out for the next Texas Mile?

    Some Questions on Doing HIDs the Right Way

    Well it sounds like the Mini H1 is a better option here because of the better output. I guess I would be OK with modifying the headlight bucket a little bit to remove some of the extra plastic from the mold. I just would like to stay away from cutting large amounts of it off since the plastic is...

    Some Questions on Doing HIDs the Right Way

    Thanks for the answer, I appreciate it. I was actually reading that last night that the H1 is better than the D2S. I didn't think they would fit but I also didn't think about the base of the bulb. So you think I would be able to get the Mini H1 into our housings without having to cut the plastic...

    ***Genuine Factory Manuals***

    I like paper manuals also. I have one for my 87. There are also subtle differences between the years so not everything for my 87 is included in the online TSRM which is for a 90.

    Some Questions on Doing HIDs the Right Way

    Hi guys, I am contemplating doing a HID retrofit into my Supra the right way using projectors and only high quality parts from The Retrofit Source. Right now I have Hella DOT housings and they are definitely better than stock, but aren't great. The lights in my parents newer Toyotas are a lot...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    In person it looks a little darker than stock, but most people would have trouble telling it is tinted and probably end up saying it is darker because the windows are tinted.
