I have a question on here... about how does it know how does it go to HighBeam !
2 Wires ?!?! all volts is 12 volts there's not 16 Volts for high beam..
hi...can you make tutorial on navara D40 hid>>>led please....
This video was incredibly helpful on converting my HID headlights to LED. My biggest concern before attempting the process was the high voltage to 12v. That was incredibly simple. I was able to twist wires so the only tools needed was a 10mm socket, Phillips bit for drill, wire cutter/stripper, and electrical tape. The entire process took under 30 min. I could repeat the process in about 10 min. Thank you for this video. Gen 2 Prius headlight HID to LED conversion.
Just installed these on my 09 Prius. This video is wonderful and gave me lots of confidence going in.
I had a slight hiccup with putting the dust cover back on. I couldn't rotate the bulb in a way where the LED's are in the correct orientation without interfering the dust cap in some way. It's a very tight fit.
Wiring is very easy. I used a different kind of T tap that allows me to disconnect the wiring harness entirely if need be.
Make sure you buy extra push clips! They will break when you take them out. Also be careful to not strip out the 2 rubber stopper things on the front grill. WD-40 could help.
This saved me so much money overall. Thank you so much!!
Wow!!! What an easy mod. Thank you for this. This is great!
Pro tip 😂 the T-splice connectors are famous for failing within a couple of years. Excellent video. It answered a lot of my questions. I had ordered led bulbs already assuming I had halogens. But noooo, of course my Prius has HID. Gotta return these and get proper dr2 with the coax plug adapter. If you prefer to not have to revisit this task, go for a more durable and permanent wire splice. Soldering is overkill and unnecessary and takes forever. The solder/shrink tube waterproof butt connectors are on ama and eby very cheap. Use a heat gun, not a lighter like a hillbilly. 👨🔧⚡💡
Great video, just installed these and they look awesome, very bright
Any interference with the radio? And do u have to change the dust covers or the old ones still fit??
Would you say they are much brighter then factory HID?
I just made this change over in a 2008 Prius. I never would have done it without the video, so thanks! The only difference for me was that in the video it looks like the led bulbs come with loose wires to tap. The ones I bought didn't. However, and better, it came with a plug on the end. I was able to unscrew the HID converter shown in the video, unplug the white sleeved power cable that runs to it, pull it out, pop open the plug by popping the tabs on it (easy), and reuse the spade connectors to push onto the spades of the led bulb plug. Hardest part of the operation for me was getting the bumper hooked back up and just right.
What state do you live in? I recently did mine. But am worried about it being to bright to pass inspection now.
@@joeymireles8704 We don't have annual state inspections. It is bright, but I can't imagine that it is any brighter than more recent cars with led lights. In fact, since I changed them out I tend to notice the other cars that have led lights and how white that light is.
That is great, congratulations, and we are glad that is helpful for you.
Can you link the bulbs you bought?
@@ZachMauch Sorry, do you ask us? if so, the link is allalighting.com/products/d1s-d2s-d3s-d4s-d5s-led-kits-bulbs-replacement-d1-d2-d3-d4
Great tutorial
Maybe I am wrong but every time that LED light goes out, will we have all this work to replace? Wow 😮
Thank you very much
Sand the headlights and they will look even better. That hazy plastic is probably cutting down 30% of the light output. I sand my headlights every three years to keep them clear and bright. Then give them a good buff. After the buff I seal them up with a clear coat. Makes an old car look like new again.
Sand your headlights? I guess if they're really foggy, and with like 2000 grit wet, I just use buffing compound, another tip, if you use 2k clear (catalyzed) you wouldn't have to redo every year. 👍
Thanks for the excellent demo and information. Very helpful to me working on daughters '08 Prius. My question is: " wouldn't it be better to cap off the + hot to ballast? Why leave it energizing when not in use?"
It's better to cap off the input connector to ballast, the reason we keep it connected is that customer requires to have the ability of easily switching between HID and LED
Can I get this question answered?
Dont you need 3 wires?
How does it know to switch from low beam to high beam ..
That's 12 volts.. I mean it obviously doesn't put out Like 16 for the high beam!!
So how do we get high beam???
Low/high beam is controlled by a separate mechanical actuator that moves an optical shutter, not electrically (the original HID ballast only has 2 wires going in!). Hope that helps.
hello, would the installation be the same for d1s? Would the afs still work?
I watched your video and really thanks for detailed information; however, I noticed that you did not disconnect the supply power from the ballast and left it connected - why? Leaving it connected will cause a buzzing sound from the HID bulb connector when it is not connected to the HID bulb. Correct me if I am wrong
I was wondering the same like what kind of draw produces leaving connect and how the high beam function works since looks like only the low beam ground and positive were spliced. The high beam connector wire isn't spliced into the bulbs high beam connector or is there some sort of automatic change noted if low isn't powered to switch to high I'm not comprehending?
Got installation guide for swapping 2013 FORD KUGA/ESCAPE HID headlight bulb to LED headlight bulb ??
i got the prius 3rd gen facelift i got the same problem if i do this thing will it resolved
Can you use H4 connectors instead?
Would you say these are brighter then factory HID?
A 2006 Toyota Prius uses HID?
If so, then what LED (driver & passenger sides) part number do I need to buy from you?
If you cut out the ballast completely would it throw an error
code on the car?
Toyota wish 2004 headlamp Bulb type d2R.
Sebaiknya menggunakan tipe apa??
Terimakasih
One difficulty some owners who convert from HID to LED is interference with FM radio. Are your bulbs "shielded" to prevent this?
I'm trying to find the link for the t-taps you use
Did you have to adjust the headlights after switching to LED?
Hi, left side headlight bulb not turning on?
Looks like a no go not DOT approved 4300K conversion. Plus I don't see how the high beams are going to power on. Great video however in regards to detail and for inspiring making a cleaner conversion to halogen or other 12V high and low beam connections bulbs.
I hope anyone could respond to this ASAP but the LED lights I brought has three wires.
yellow,red and black should I cap the yellow wire off
What is the Alla LED headlight used in the video? There are a lot of different types on the Alla website but I want to find the exact model used in this video. Thanks!
This LED headlights bulbs are used to replace HID D1/D2/D3/D4 headlights, and the product link is allalighting.com/products/d1-d2-led-headlights-conversion-kits-bulbs-replacement-of-hid-d3-d4-d1s-d3s-d2r , so please make sure your stock headlamps is D1/D2/D3/D4 series HID headlights bulbs. If not, please let us know for further assistance, thanks in advance.
02:54 TURN IT CLOCKWISE
02:58 RELEASE THE CLIPS
unless it would throw an error code I would cut the two wires and connect them directly to the light bulb that way you wouldn't be energizing a ballast for no reason
Can we convert D4R to H4 Socket?
Does the Prius have DRLs?
Question can I do the same in 2006 a6 Audi that comes with factory Hids and not get no warning lights
For your vehicle, we recommend to check this video ruclips.net/video/gkbShcyaqiw/видео.html, which shows Mercedes-Benz HID upgrade to LED, and it is similar to Audi as well, hopefully it is helpful for you.
I'm not comfortable doing any of this by myself, I was looking to change my HID bulbs into LED bulbs because my HID bulbs were beginning to go dimmer and dimmer every night these last few weeks. But this is a lot more work than I'm comfortable with doing just to change bulbs -- I wasn't looking into cutting wires or anything so this wasn't what I'm looking to do. I'll just have to go and pay to get it done professionally, I don't really care that much about saving money.
How did the function of the High Beams work after this conversion? With the HID original set up, there are no 'high beams' change in brightness in the actual bulb, just the change of position of bulb to create a high beam effect. With this conversion, is it the same?
I was wondering the same, though more-so about the low beam wires looking like only being spliced and no high beam wires connected to the high beam (what I assume) circuit of the bulb. So is the movable eye looking thing in the assembly that blocks the bulb moving only for high beam operations?
@@jafinch78 I did the conversion to LEDs, but did it the right way. I first swapped out those terrible HID assemblies to the normal Halogen assemblies, then upgraded those to LEDs. Honestly, I think the normal Halogen assemblies were better than those terrible HIDs. It was a bad design from the start. Now, with the upgraded HIDs that work as they should, its a huge improvement.
@@Wasteoftime10 Awesome! That affirms I took the correct course of action. I wound up finding a set of Halogen assemblies at the yard on the last day of the 50% off sale. Got them and a few H4 9003 HB2's with their connectors. So have a few to choose from design wise though most are fairly the same. Was also thinking, if for some reason someone wanted to swap in HID, can take two bad bulbs sockets with the top bulb part remove and solder on those pigtails for the HID high and low connectors and then pot with epoxy or silicone the wires in the old bulb socket base. Unfortunately, one of the assemblies has gravel in and both had ice. So washed with distilled water until I decided the one needs the lens removed and better thoroughly cleaned. So have that left to do and will swap. Thinking once I dry them both out, I'll run a bead of type 1 silicone around since I have some as I don't see me opening them up ever again for any reason.
I have a 2014 Subaru Forester, it uses D4R HID bulb which I'm not satisfied, can it be replaced with LED? Thanks!
Yes, it is, you can replace it to LED, product link allalighting.com/products/d1s-d2s-d3s-d4s-d5s-led-kits-bulbs-replacement-d1-d2-d3-d4
Has anyone else tried this method and had success?
See my reply. Feel free to ask questions.
2006 Toyota Prius, how do I know if the light has halogen or HID without looking at it or removing it out?
And this LED will work & fully compatible for both?
Yes, you can check the light color from the halogen: HID bulb comes bright xenon white normally, halogen is dim yellowish color.
And LED upgrade can both HID and halogen, but must require to choose the correct bulb sizes. If you need us to recommend related, please advise your vehicles' Make, model, year and stock halogen or HID, thanks in advance.
@@AllaLighting Another silly question:
Is HID bulb = Xenon bulb?
Client has not shown me the 2006 Toyota Prius, so I don't know the color of headlights.
@@angelisone Good question: Xenon lamps are considered to be a special type of HID due to a few factors. Unlike most HID lamps that do not reach full brightness until they are hot enough, Xenon lamps do not need to warm-up, and provide instant bright light. Xenon lamps simulate daylight better, and the light is more natural compared to other HID lamps.
The website says these aren't DOT legal. Should I worry about that? I can barely see the road with the existing hid lights
That means DOT don't approve all brands of LED headlights in street use, so it is your decision to make it, sorry, we are unable to make it for you, if you want to upgrade, we recommend allalighting.com/products/pk32d-base-d1s-d2s-d3s-d4s-led-bulbs-change-xenon-white , which has the best beam pattern and will make you feel much safer, brighter and easier to drive.
Which sort of T-Tap should we use?
this is the one we used in the video, 14-18 AWG T-taps are recommened.
After going to all this trouble to document the process and make such a video, in my opinion this was a wasted opportunity to further boost your sales by also showing the factory and led headlight beam differences when shining them against the wall of that warehouse and down a dark road.
Hello. Would I still have high and low beam lights functional?
How in the heck does low and hi beam work with only a 2 wire connector?
can this be done to any hid ???????
Probably.
need the part number for this conversion kit. ca
't find it at Amazon
Yes, the link from amazon is www.amazon.com/Alla-Lighting-Extremely-Headlight-Conversion/dp/B07CMGHTX3
Is it possible to switch from a HID headlight assembly to a LED assembly?
Yes, you can switch it as well.
What bulb size is the LED bulb
it is D4R, product link is allalighting.com/products/d1-d2-led-headlights-conversion-kits-bulbs-replacement-of-hid-d3-d4-d1s-d3s-d2r
Yp I try don’t get in the middle. No way
What is the model number
What is the Watts of these led bulbs?
The stock HID bulb is 35W on 2005 Prius.
Is it ok to replace it with higher watt led bulb?
I was gonna replace my 2005 Prius HID bulbs with these longer lasting LEDs, but not street legal (only off road) according to DOT is a deal breaker for me. On the other hand, converting my Prius into a 4WD monster car, hmmm…
polish the glass before !!!
OMG why is Toyota so damn hard to get to the damn light bulbs.
i had an old honda civic that was like this too.
Because they want you to go back to them so they can charge you an arm and a leg.

This guide would be so much better without the music or the editing. You also don't explain everything step by step.
Butcher.
my toyota prius 2008 headlight dont look like that
If you cut out the ballast completely would it throw an error
code on the car?
