I just order the same exact bulb and it comes as 9012/HIR2 socket. Unfortunately it has almost 1 mm too thick base/mounting and impossible to get it click/installed properly. So I returned it.
Great video, was expecting it actually after the rant about poor headlamps. How about the side steep cut-off? I find it the most annoying issue with these headlamps, cornering on dark roads makes me feel like driving blindfolded... And another important question: cooling of the LEDs is not affected by the caps? Do the fans still do their job? Or did you just take the duct tape off the previously drilled holes in the caps?
I have 2017 Auris 1.4 d4d and my mom has 2018 CHR full option and she has those laser xenon lights and they are really sharp and almost looks like Transformers or An UFO in night. I said I wanted that too but these white beams are not like them ? After seeing this video I decided to stay with original Thank you for your video and you time though
MOT will fail LED too even with autoleveling sensor installed. It has to be OEM headlight but just don't install it when you do MOT. I think it will not blind anyone with projector style.
@@Endfloat but what happens if you drive to UK or crossing other countries in Europe mainland? There are very few LED is legal in Germany and Austria from osram and Philips
@@rondhole In reality nothing because unless they are actually dazzling people nobody is going to suspect anything. It doesn't look out of place for a modern car with projector housings to have LED or Xenon lights.
@@gravemind6536 I agree, but this LED the @Endfloat with 9012 socket is really bad. It does not fit the housing right without bending anything and it is much less bright than V35 or V45 Bevinseee with 3 y warranty
I fitted a very similar looking kit to a Yaris which has the same style headlights. The low beam is VASTLY improved but the high beam is eh. Still much better than the halogens but not as much of an improvement. Why couldn't Toyota just have fitted separate high beam reflectors to these cars I will never know...
Good video. Fellow Dubliner here...a friend just bought a 2023 Corolla and he is disappointed with the poor brightness from the standard HIR2 Philips Bulbs that came with the car. I see that Toyota Ireland advertise a "Toyota Optiwhite" upgrade that they say is 60% brighter. Would you know anything about them...or similar type bulbs claiming to emit more light? Thank you.
@@typhoontim125 I'm a bit late, but i have a Rav4 with the Optiwhite bulbs i didn't notice any difference, the lights are still awful. i also have a 25 year old golf and the lights are much better then the Rav4. your friend must have the Corolla saloon cos the hatchback and estate have led lights standard.
@@Endfloat thanks for reply, guess i have done it wrong, could you please verify for me, just take of the black cover and see if cable is facing downwords or upwords? If cable is down, then chip is facing upwords
Did this affect the AFS after you installed LED bulb? I wanted to change mine as well, but the workshop said that LED bulbs won't fit in there or it will impact the AFS
The DRLs are already LED. Edit: sorry you must have the first gen auris. You could change the sidelight bulbs for LED and leave them on when you're driving.
@@Endfloatand no overheating? I got bevinsee v35 and one bulb got too hot started to switch off and on every 5min..... The driver and bulb together in close proximity i think cause too much heat. I wonder is this aftermarket led safe even now .?

Defo a lot brighter than before, nice informative little video.
Great video my wife’s 14 auris is a joke too . This is the solution thank you
You're welcome!

Thx for video just what I was looking for ages so I have order 🤞👍
Is everything still working fine and doesn't the driver shake too much in the headlight? Do you still prefer these lamps over the halogen bulbs?
Great video, was expecting it actually after the rant about poor headlamps. How about the side steep cut-off? I find it the most annoying issue with these headlamps, cornering on dark roads makes me feel like driving blindfolded...

Great question. Those fans can hardly work properly with a closed cap behind them

That may be the case in the UK, but in Ireland, LED lights are permitted as an aftermarket fitment.

Issue with the Toyota Auris is that projectors always aim too low.
I fitted a very similar looking kit to a Yaris which has the same style headlights. The low beam is VASTLY improved but the high beam is eh. Still much better than the halogens but not as much of an improvement.
Why couldn't Toyota just have fitted separate high beam reflectors to these cars I will never know...
Yeah I find that to be the case with the kit I fitted too. I contemplated fitting spotlights!
Nice video, great share. 👍How many lumens are the LEDs?
You won't damage the bulb if fitted the wrong way around ,it just won't light.

I found the LEDs I bought to be an effective upgrade. I haven't tried the Toyota bulbs but I've heard others saying they are effective.
@@Endfloat Thanks for the reply..yes, your LED ones look to be excellent

How do you remove the black clip that holds the white thing for the wipers liquid? Geez why skip steps!!!
Hi
I’m driving a Auris 2017
Are u happy with this LED?
Do u recommend it?
Yeah they're a lot better than the halogens. Still not great on high beam though..
Can you please share the brand you purchased? I want to get one for mine as well. Thank you
I bought them from ledperf.com. Not sure of the brand.
Almanyada yasal mı?
Whats the name of the type of headlamp that the car originally came with
Hir2 bulb.
Are led chip(light) facing upwords or down when installed?
Down as far as I remember.
@@Endfloat thanks for reply, guess i have done it wrong, could you please verify for me, just take of the black cover and see if cable is facing downwords or upwords? If cable is down, then chip is facing upwords
Could you check please?
Did this affect the AFS after you installed LED bulb? I wanted to change mine as well, but the workshop said that LED bulbs won't fit in there or it will impact the AFS
This car doesn't have AFS.
@@Endfloat Mine neither. But the lights are in a way that those can be moved actually. So the space for LEDs is tiny.
I dont think you should pit the cap on at the end as the fans would not be able to get cold air to the led heat exchanger
What do you think ?
Nah thats madness, the amount of dust and dirt that will get inside the headlights is not worth it.
Hi, I have an Auris 2013. Is it possible to install LED DRL inside the headlights?
The DRLs are already LED. Edit: sorry you must have the first gen auris. You could change the sidelight bulbs for LED and leave them on when you're driving.
How is the brightness after 1 hour or more driving. Heat management is a problem in many LED
I can't say I notice any degradation.
do they interfere with the radio ? most led bulbs cause some problems with radio signals
No, not at all.
It's been a year since you installed the LEDs mate. How are they treating you?
Still working perfectly. They really did make a massive difference, and the car passed the car test with them fitted too.
@@Endfloatand no overheating? I got bevinsee v35 and one bulb got too hot started to switch off and on every 5min..... The driver and bulb together in close proximity i think cause too much heat. I wonder is this aftermarket led safe even now .?
@@T0EFOO no I've had zero problems with these bulbs. They're still working perfectly.
Niiiiiice. Just put mines. This will get me so many points with the wife lol the video was incredibly easy to follow. Cheers my man
still on the same bulbs? @@Endfloat
Night and day🙈🙈🙊
