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

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.
