I'm looking for this kit
[u]http://www.wholesalehid.com/product.php?pid=31[/u]

but not sure about bulbs...

this topic has stumped a few technicians ive met...some say that its supposed to have a h4 bulb..and on a website it says the hir2 bulb is a replacement upgrade for the h4....so i have no idea whats going on im sure you can get a conversion kit

HIR2 can't be compared with anything. Only thing i know is that you need a 9012 socket. A socket that almost similar is the HB4 socket, but even that doesn't fit.
What i saw in the link surprised me. It's the first converter kit with a xenonbulb with a 9012 socket. So it has to fit in our IQ. Make sure you check the lenght of the xenonbulb compared to our HIR2 bulb, because otherwise it will not fit.

If someone succesfully build in a xenon kit, please let me (us) know in this topic.
Greets,
Brian

No one here with a plug and play Xenon converter kit?

Other head-lighting will miss the EU-approval and you have to fit lightwasher and more ....

The current light (HIR2) fitted needs no improvement.
But in the car you need more lumen.....

LaLa your right about the illegality of Xenon, and indeed my interiour had a major "lumen" upgrade. So i tackeled that problem.
But my minor problem with this ugly yellow HIR2 light remains. Lightintensity is superb but the color.........

If anyone does get some better bulbs runing please let us know.

I'm so used to the lights from my M3's that these on the Iq are like a torch, wheres the rest of the road gone at night.
Failing that superb little car.

[i]oooh , oooh [/i]

Now you have 48 LEDs missing the EU-certificate on your iQ, and you want to change the headlamps. There is NO legal way.

You can't drive your Toyota on the continent with these changes!

That's lucky I don't drive in any other part of Europe then.
The 48 LEDs are switchable thou so can turn them off.
I did order some bulbs of eBay that the seller lists for the iq , don't buy them they don't fit. I did let the seller know and he refunded me but hasn't changed the description on eBay.

I'm surprised amongst all the different options for the iq between the countries that hids were not available. It's such a large light unit. ( I have a spare light unit that I won on eBay for £25 so can experiment with it)

And i just wanna get rid of these 3200k color, to much yellow. I wanna have these 6000k(or higher) color bulbs!

Once you have found how to do it Insane tell us all, Please

Yes I will, but i'm afraid there's only one option left. Build in a (illegal) Xenon-kit.
Pffffff........life sometimes sux.

A big clue can be found there (as said in a previous post)

Thanks,
I went by your post 19 where someone asked if you got it from one of your links and you said 'no'.

I presume then they are these :$36.95 each for 9012 low beams:

How did you get them for 39 Euros or is that each?

the link on page 1, post 1 is not good. (no answers to my mails)

it seems to be impossible to find really 9012 HID kits.
so, it's not a 9012 hid kit.

39€ is for the kit (2bulbs , 2 ballasts & wiring)

ebay is your friend......

"The HIR 90012 can replace a stock 9006/HB4 bulb.The HIR 9011 can replace a stock 9005/HB3 bulb"

So for our HIR(9001)2 it should be a 9006/HB4 xenon kit ?

Going to check our friend

(this one ? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HID-XENON-Ultra-SLIM-BALLAST-KIT-9006-6000K-2-Bulbs_W0QQitemZ260501859304QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item3ca71eebe8)"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HID-XENON-Ultra-SLIM...item3ca71eebe8)[/url]

Salsadicto, tu n'es pas loin de la vérité...
mais ce n'est pas ce vendeur puisque c'est du 55W (ainsi je suis à peu près certain de ne pas avoir de "défaut" au tableau de bord + puissance supérieure)

je posterai un petit guide d'installation et (comme j'ai l'impression que ton anglais est meilleur que le mien) tu seras chargé d'en faire une bonne traduction
il y aura les photos comparées des ampoules, les conseils de montage (environ 1H, c'est du plug & play) et le nom du vendeur (mais tout autre peut convenir)
je ferai aussi une synthèse de ce que j'ai cru comprendre sur ces ampoules HIR2, ce qui permettra de répondre au titre du topic : Hir2=9012???



you are right!!!
not this seller because 55W

I've to post a french manual & you'll have to translate for other forumers (w pictures of bulbs, advices & name of ebay store)
and we'll be able to answer to the topic question [size=4]Hir2=9012??? [/size]

Merci Bilmuche,

J'attendrai le lien impatiemment et votre conseil.

Did the translation say:

Thank you Bilmuche,

I shall wait for link impatiently and your advice.

[size=3]First, what I've learnt about HIR2 bulbs [/size]: [url="http://faqlight.carpassion.info/hl-filament-bulbs.htm"]Visit this Website[/url]
An HIR bulb differs from a standard Halogen bulb by the fact that they have a reflective infra red coating with primary purpose of reflecting heat back to the filament.
They are being markeded under these names:
9011 HIR1, high beam, 2500lm bright at 13,2 (+/-15%) Volts
9012 HIR2, low beam, 1875lm bright at 13,2 (+/-15%) Volts

[size=3]What I've seen on my iQ3 [/size](not sure it's the same on iQ1/2)
It's only one bulb. This bulb named HIR2 is a mono filament bulb. low & high beam obtained by move of reflector.
On the HIR2 bulbs is written : HIR2 & 9012. Same socket, same shape for these bulbs.
So, HIR2 seems to be absolutely similar (but better) than 9012 (like H1 100W & H1 55W).

Now, it seems to be impossible to find HID kit for HIR2 & 9012 socket.

9012 socket looks like 9006 (minor differencies, see pictures below : note that bulbs are positionned like for replacement)



9006 bulb can be fitted in place of 9012. Bulb is not too long. Socket is not exactly the same. But it's possible. Alignment is perfect for low/high beam.

I'll post a short tuto in french (too difficult in english for me). There is no particular difficulties. Just advices for positions of bulb and hole in the black plastic lid.

You can buy this 9006 55W kit (or an other) : [url="http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170409013045"]http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...em=170409013045[/url]
Good ebayer, fast delivery. Quality seems to be correct. Maybe, you can find better (i'll explain why in the tuto) or cheaper

tu n'aurais pas du la vendre ta MR2, surtout le modèle Turbo.
moi, je l'ai gardée...

Very good

Well there on their way.
I already have a spare complete headlamp housing so can experiment on that.

Is it also possible to buy some HB4(9006) bulbs and just chance with originals?
If not, I'm forced to buy that HID-kit .

no (if I understand well)
9006 bulbs need very high voltage (given by ballast) and wiring included in the kit.
but just plug and play

wait for the french tuto and its translation!

Yes, but i mean "normal" HB4 bulbs.
For example these ones. I bought them just to try them out.

yes, you can
but these 80W bulbs are not better than our HIR2 (look at lumen comparison HIR2/9012)

Bilmuche,

What colour / temperature bulbs did you go for?
