    I added the Corolla stereo in my 2 today, I think it looks great with the dash kit from aliexpress!

    Then I also changed a lot of my lights to LEDS.

    Installed DDM 35W 10k HID and LED for license plate light. Took me awhile since I didnt know how to install it at all. In the end I had to secure the HID bulbs with electrical tapes since the bulb fitting was a little bit loose.

    The 10k came out really nice, way better in real life. I'm glad I picked this over the 8k.

    ^^^^^ how is your visibility with your 10K hid lights? Any distance(25 feet away) shots against the wall? Why 10K over 5K or 4300K?

    I have the 6k's and I love them. They have just a hint of blue.

    I do not want to go off topic, but this is just a safety concern.

    Reason why I asked is because the higher in temp color you go of the bulb, the less usable light there is. 6k would probably be the highest color to ever go.

    http://www.bolt.co.jp/images/hid_lum_003.jpg (Same pic attached) hid_lum_003.jpg

    It's not in fully in English, but the numbers are(Lumens on the left, bulb color at the bottom). As you can see, at 10K you have very little usable light, even though its lighting things up blue-ish for you, how easily can you make out things in the road at night? It's just a safety question for you MikeJ, that's all.

    At 6K bulb temp, you still have more than 3000 lumens of light. But at 10K color, you have less than 1000K lumens, only 1/3 rd of the light of 6K temp bulbs. Throw a halogen bulb back in on one side and compare the output and visibility. Look at which one you can actually see better with.

    I actually don't regret getting the 10k at all, the visibility is already 10x better than regular stock lights. I like 10k because because it actually look cooler and different from all other HIDs shades, but this is only my preference, you need to install it and see it for yourself.

    Like I said before, the brand I'm using has very good visibility compare to my regular stock bulb. I was worried as well that visibility will go bad if I go more blue, but this is not the case because I still haven't switch out 10k bulb yet lol. My 10k bulb also cause street signs and studs to reflect blue light from far distance which is really cool imo.

    Are there any alignment holes in the back? What did you do to it if there is any?

    In the rear: for the "Prius C" and the "Hybrid System" badges there are no alignment holes.

    For the rear Toyota badge there are holes however.

    Car chassis undercarriage PU foaming , increase stability , less body roll , less nose diving , less vibration and less noise penetration from under chassis .

    Which foam did you use? How much did it take? Where were your insertion points? How long did it take? Did you hoist the car? Have you noticed a substantial difference? Where the heck is the tutorial? :)

    Are those fingers or toes?

    Few foam u can use like wurth 1k assembly foam , hilti 1k PU foam , or sika boom ap .

    I use soudal fix n fill foam , took about 3 bottles 750ml for the car chassis from engine till rear bonnet under chassis . Just pump in tru existing chassis hole till flow than it will expand to entire chassis cavity . Took about 1 hour to pump the foam and another 2 for dry . I just hoist the front slightly up than go under . Noise reduce slots , chassis become less flex and solid . No nose diving when hard breaking , acceleration superb no lifting . No tutorial just watch some tuner shop done it go back done it myself . Those are after expand PU foam can be cut and trim using knife .

    Is this on the exhaust system? If so, will it melt from the heat and eventually become extra mass without benefit? Just curious how you placed this.
