2016 Tacoma HID

I've ran several kits without the harness with no issues. From what I've read the harness is better for older cars with crap wires.

 

Why have you run several kits in your Tacoma?

 

Where are you guys mounting the ballast?

I'm in the middle of my install and trying to figure out a good spot to put them

 

driver's side, using ground bolt:


Passenger's side, remove the windshield resevoir to get access to ground bolt:

 

This doesn't harm the ground at all?

 

No, ballasts being grounded is generally a good thing.

 

Is anyone that maybe running a UHF and/or VHF rig having any noise issues????

Thanks.

 

Scooby24, I ordered my lights and they want to know"H11B/6000K ?
Our H11B=

$25 H11/H8/H9 Light Bulb, 30000LM Super Bright, 6500K Cool White H11 Fog Light Bulb, IP68 Waterproof, Pack of 2

H11/H8/H9"
Not sure if she is waiting for a response or they are just informing me what they are sending me? I told them I have a 2016 TRD Pro and I requested H11B.

 

Scooby got the 4300k and the h11b. request the 4300k if you want the same he has. i just ordered the setup myself.

 

That's because you're not supposed to run HIDs for high beams. The way luxury cars use HID high beams, like in my old car, is that they use bi-xenon headlamps which have a solenoid that retracts a shield to allow high and low beam light output with 1 bulb so there is no warm up time unless you're immediately using high beams from when you turn on your car.

If anything, retrofitting onto a non bi-xenon headlamp, you should run either halogen or LED for high beams.

 

Are the hyluxtek AC or DC?

 

Hylux ballasts are AC.

 

Thanks again. Most likely I'll be purchasing the hylux with a regular ballast soon. I was looking into the OPT7 35W AC kits but they only have the 5500k bulb, and I'd like the 4300k.

 

Whats the difference between these two kits?

The Ultra D1 kits are for replacing D1 style bulbs. The DDM Plus are a great option if you want a good quality HID kit. DDM says the 2016+ Tacomas should use the Plus Canbus HID kit to eliminate any potential issues with flickering or any odd behavior.

 

How did this turn out?

 

They came out perfect

No canbus and no harness

I might add one later when I put a full circuit panel in for all my accessories

Any questions let me know the lights are the h11b there is no line in the light projection and I went with 4500k the lights below are 6000k piaa lp530 led fogs

Love the ddm! Got them for 52$ on Amazon worth every penny

Just to confirm I got the ddm tuning plus kit

 

I have the ddm plus kit with out canbus

I don't know why ddm says we need them I called them direct and they said the same thing

But yeah you don't need canbus...
