Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior New NOKYA lighting installed... some pictures

After having absolute ZERO problems with the MTEC lighting installed to my celica since end of 2003... And writing all the positive personal reviews of MTEC - Plus after selling over 4,000 sets of MTEC with very few issues being reported...

For those few persons who still believe that MTEC isn't right for them, I decided to add another line of lighting to the store - PLUS program the options into the store where you could choose the lighting you want for your car... "YOUR-CHOICE LIGHTING PACKAGE"

NOKYA Arctic White Low Beams and NOKYA Super Yellow Fog Lights have been added!

To get things off to a good start, I had to take some photos of the Nokya lighting...

These are the Low Beams - Notice that the Fog lights are still on

Over the next couple of days, I will also add the PIAA Line to the store... and I have 3 (THREE ONLY) sets of Xetronic GENUINE 8,000k HID Xenon Conversion Kits (H7 Bulb) available for private party sale in the CLASSIFIED forum for about $350 SHIPPED... this will be posted on Friday sometime

good stuff! I need a PIAA set like yesterday bcuz My PIAA headlight got busted in the accident.(I might get my car back monday )

Very nice! Ive already ordered the yellow fogs!!! Wooooooooot i was the first I love my MTECs and will probably love these NOKYAs also, thanks Isaac!

Lets see how fast these burn-out and/or short out the wiring...

I have the Nokya Arctic Purple highs and lows... no problems after three months. Not quite as bright as the MTECs I used to have, but the color is better.

I had I set of these back when I had my VW Golf MkIV and they lasted for at least year and a half they probally lasted longer I traded the car in and they were still working perfectly

STFU asshole, your wiring shorted out because of YOUR install. Why dont you go buy some silvertstars for 20 bucks for a bulb. I think you can take a chance on NOKYAs for the price offered. Besides NOKYA has been around since 1998 if you dont believe me check out their site http://www.spwindustries.com/nokya/halogens.php .

This isnt an arguing match, 90% of bulbs going out prematurly are due to the instalation. If you believe these bulbs are bad-dont buy them, you cant even judge them if you dont own them. So before you bash a product you know nothing about.


Would you say the same thing about PIAAs? You should judging by your judgement.

that is really sweet

can you put HID's into a 2000?

Sure H7 lows, H3 fog

Yes you can buy an aftermarket HID kits...they go for around 300-400 dollars.

Good stuff. Would have purchased the low from you if I have known. I will just wait till these Eurodezigns burn out

i mean buy the hid bulbs and stick um into stock sockets?

damn those are clean.

damn if you add PIAA to your e.celica store lol damn im gonna be a buy whore when the time comes.

PIAA

piaa > nokya ?

Real HID bulbs comes in 3 kinds:

1) D2R - "R" stands for reflector. These bulbs have built-in shields and are designed for reflector housing.

2) D2S - "S" stands for shield. These bulbs don't have built-in shields and are designed for projector housing with shields.

3) Rebased bulbs - These are essentially D2S/D2R bulbs with modified bases to fit OEM housing. For example, to fit a 2000+ Celica, you would need the H7 rebased bulbs.

Keep in mind, even with the rebased bulbs, you would still need to modify your spacer or use piano wires to hold the bulbs in place.

I have a HID kit from an Infinity G35 with D2R bulbs. I was able to use the stock clip to hold the bulbs in place. The D2R/D2S bulbs are similar to H7 in size. So, all three bulb types will fit our projectors. I installed Mcculloch HID kit (with rebased bulbs) on Renee's car. And I have D2R on mine.

I have tried a lot of different brands of "HID" bulbs before going with the reall thing. MTEC is by far the brightest. Nokya is the prettiest (in terms of color). And I had PIAA Ion Yellow fogs for a long time.

One problem -- an HID bulb has a totally different light pattern than a halogen bulb, even when the bases are the same.

Think about it, the shape of a filament is going to be pretty different than a arc of ignited gas between two electrodes.

If you've got projectors or housings designed to match a halogen bulb, it won't produce a correct beam pattern with an HID bulb.

I'll get some pics up also, Isaac, when I get mine installed.

anyone have phillips ultinon hids?

He is asking if the bulbs would fit our OEM housing. And the answer is yes. Of course, putting a bulb that's not designed for the housing will require modification and the result will not be perfect.

On true HID setup you will also need to install ballasts and ignitors. Im running 12,000K HID's at the moment and its like driving in daylight.

nokya artic white is the setup i've been running with, got it from my local body shop

PIAA's in the store

i see, so basically i can just get the D2R/D2S bulbs?

thx Tony

Great news! Another quality product added to the Ecelica store.

Yes. But, obviously, you would need to buy the complete kit which includes ballast (ignitor if it is not integrated with the ballast) and wire harness.

nice...i love my mtecs but it's cool ecelica is expanding it's options...

^^Hey thats what celicas are about expanding

Those are bad ass... i like the blue ones imma get some

Ha, i have piaa fogs, based on recommendation from SmutasticGT on how long they lasted. I basically do all my own work on my celica, how the can you state the above? I read the directions in the box like a person with common sense should.

those Nokya look hot!

DID YOU REMOVE YOUR HEADLIGHTS WEN INSTALLING THE BULBS, IF YOU DIDNT THEN EVENTUALLY YOU DID IT WRONG. THE BEST WAY TO INSTALL A BULB IS BY REMOVING THE HEADLIGHT.

removing the headlight assembly is not necessary - but it is necessary on high performance bulbs that you not touch the glass with your fingures or any dirt from your engine bay

is that the nokya yellow foglight bulbs in those pics? and Isaac, did you notice a difference with these and the mtecs low beams? Which one is whiter and brighter? thanks. I'm probably going to pick some up and try them out.

installed nokya's H7's in my car yesterday I'll see if I can get some pics tonight

ok got 5 pics

Like I said above, Nokya is the prettiest in terms of color. Looks great, Warren.

i installed mine yesterday. they have a very nice color to them, but not as bright as mtecs

Had a set of Nokyas but really didnt like them. Visibilty went down a lot too. The bulbs for the low beams are so big, the projector cant possible focus the beam correctly. Everytime I'm on the interstate, I hate passing semi-truck. Its like the headlight has a little spot lot of its own. When the bulbs are in, theres a small little section that reflects from the projector and gets project directly into a semi's side view mirror, its annoying too. When the car is parked and its misty, hazy, or foggy out and the lights are on, there's like a ray of light that comes from the very corner of the projector and goes up and away from the car( rh to the right lh to the left) sitting from the driver seat.

And yes the bulbs were installed correctly.

those are sexy warren.

noww yellow fogs get popular

had yellows for many years now
https://celicahobby.com/gal3/staff_isaac

I always like the yellow fogs because it is difficult to match the fogs to lowbeam (color wise). And yellow fogs make the car stand out a bit.

Hey, these yellows actually look yellow. the MTEC ones I had weren't very yellow at all...

yea, ill be getting some of those

im a little confused, can i make my headlights look like isaacs and sppedduck by just buying the two bulbs for roughly 65 bucks? If so i am gettin a set of these

Hey Isaac, I just ordered the Nokya's but I've now heard they're not as good at lighting the road as stock. Is there any truth to this?

They work just fine for me... I haven't had any problems with them - what you have probably heard is relating to the PURPLE bulbs... which is horrible lighting

But as far as the Arctic whites... you can read the reviews that had been posted earlier in this thread - and you can also view the photos and click the links listed in this topic too

Cheers

i wonder why my lowbeams don't look like that. does the camera make it more blue or something?

I have to disagree Tony. PIAA Plasma Spark Blue is definitely the best hands down. Visibility at night isn't bad. I've been through MTEC, Nokya & others & I guarantee that these are the best. Yes, they are the most expensive but if you want the best you have to pay for the best. Not DOT approved so they are not sold in stores anywhere. Got mine from a dude in Hong Kong on Ebay. They look awesome on a Celica...I get nothing but props on them...especially if you have 4-led hyper white wedges. Perfect for shows. Never got a citation for them

You're right about the purple. I have Nokya purple bulbs... they look sweet and were awesome. Then I drove in the rain with them and couldn't see lane markers.

I'm going to keep them until they burn out (well actually, I hope the car is sold by then... but that's a different story), then swap them for the Arctic White Nokya's.

Arctic white are nice at night.

All orders for these have been shipped - tracking numbers will be posted to this thread within a few hours tonight (manually posted, takes a while to key in all the numbers)

yeah man Im thinking about picking up a set real soon

sorry guys, I fell behind last night (Thursday) after 9pm by going to the Porter Ranch (Celica Meet) and didn't get back until extremely late. Today I had been working all Friday morning and afternoon with my vendors for AEM/DC Sports and PIAA products.

All tracking numbers will be posted tonight - Although some of you have already received your orders from the first batch that went out earlier this week... this second batch should complete all past orders and make everything current.

I want to see if there are tons of "my Nokya lows burned out after three weeks..." threads now. If there are, I think we can conclude all those MTEC threads were poor install jobs.

When installing, you have to make sure that you do not touch the glass part of the bulb or leave any kind of grease on them. Also, try not to scratch the blue tip. Install only takes a couple of minutes for low beams and a little longer for fogs(if you've done it before).

third one coming around?

#2584

Cory, I have emailed you at xearo@adelphia.net a few times (1/27, 1/28, 2/2, 2/3 and most recently, last night 2/4). I still have not heard any replies back from you to confirm substitution of the NOKYA H7 for unavailable MTEC H7 bulbs.

I am assuming that since you just now posted here, this substitution would be OK to do. If there is a problem with this, please PM me by clicking the "PM" button that is to the right of any of my posts - and we can work out whatever needs to be worked out

If I don't hear anything back from you, you will be part of the 3rd batch which ships out also as USPS Priority Mail on Monday 2/7 to your 21701 address

Do you guys know where i can find a Red fog light?

^^^ It is illegal to have RED lights in the front of your vehicle - its called, "impersonating an officer". Because of this, we will not be selling anything other than what is considered legal in the United States - ARCTIC WHITE and SUPER YELLOW.

Good luck in finding anything RED Closest thing to RED from this manufacturer is PURPLE. Here is an example of what that looks like.

^Thats one ugly color, have you had any word on the PIAAs? i might go w/ the nokyas first then upgrade to PIAAs

mine really don't seem as bright as in those pics. Is it the pics, or does it matter which way they are plugged into the wires.

Hey isaac are your low beams on during the day or you turn them on manually at night? i was wondering whether if i get them would they last me a short time for having them on like my stock one?

I always drive with my LOWS and FOGS on... but then again, my car only sees daylight probably 2 or 3 times out of a week

ok

This weekend i got the Nokya yellows fogs off of you and i put them on on sunday and man do they look sweet. now i need to get the hyper white clear corners from you and the low beams too.

ur still an idiot, I had the same bulbs b4 I got mtecs and had no probs...

lookin nyce!

Great lighting, but where did U get the front lip? That's interesting. Thanks.

^^^ PM works

The Vizages front lip came from http://www.Vizages.com

How do these bulbs compare to the Silverstars?

wuts the difference between stage I and stage II bulbs? for Nokya

nvm... its the wattage. stage I is 70W and stage II is 100W... would there b any problems using Stage II bulbs with the celica?

When are the fog light bulbs going to be avaliable again??? I wanna order everything together.. but im waiting till those yellow fogs are avaliable

Nice, i just ordered a set of nokya arctic white lowbeams cant wait to install em , and isaace, great service being as this is my first purchase from the ecelica store, kept me informed and everything, keep it up

Cmon bro, give the guy a break, dont need to call him asshole, yah he had bad luck with the bulbs but so did a lot of other members that ordered the same bulbs so its just his judgment and ppl are entitled to there own judgement so just chill buddy, not tryin to start an argument but i know bryan (polykarb) and hes a good guy, his comments are kinda whack at times but thats just the way he is...so chill out buddy, were all here for the same reason...our celicas so lets just all get along lol

i have silverstars and i like them. they work well at night. and in rain.

I want them! the yellow tint ones!
