  • HID Conversion.

    Hey all,
    I was wondering if anyone has done a HID conversion to the standard 120 headlights? I saw a 55 watt high/low beam conversion kit on E-bay, which apparently can be used as an upgrade to H4 high/low globes. I have not had HID lights before and not sure if the upgrade would be worth the $165 cost. Also given the plastic components in the prado headlight assembly, would there be any additional temperature issues which may cause concern. Sorry if this topic has been done to death...I did a search but could only find info on upgrading aftermarket driving/spot lights.

    Regards PARSO

    AFAIK (could be mistaken...), from a legailty/roadworthiness perspective you would need to also fit a headlight washer system if you want the main headlight units to be HID.

      And auto leveling suspension I think? (from my reading on PP).

      I did a HID upgrade on mine but took it off and went back to standard recently. I went through a random breath test near where I live. The Cop told me he thought I had HID lights and told me to remove them if I didn't want to be fined in the future.
      He was good enough about it, and I note he didn't ask me if I had HID, just told me he thought I did, and gave the advice. I guess if I had told him "yes I do have HID", he may have been obliged to give me a ticket on the spot.
      The lights I had were 4300k so didn't look extra white, which is a dead giveaway IMO.
      I gave the HID set to my BIL who has them on his Prado. He has plenty of money, and a fine or two won't dent his account balance.

      I wouldn't bother with HID if I were you.
