You need HB3 for both, and one will need it's lugs trimming, can't remember now which is which.

Or buy the correct fitting ones from Toyota if you don't want to trim.

My aristo is on its way from melborne, i received the compliance pappers today and on it, it said that the headlights have been modified to fit HB3 globes for low and high beams. so i guess its HB3 globes for me then Smile

As part of the compliance process over here the headlights have been modified to take the HB4 mate.

mine have been modified to accept HB3 as part of compliance.

i purchased HB4 HID kit that didnt fit once i got the car back from compliance. had to go order some HB3 globes instead.

i am 100% sure of this.

*edit* how they do it? they just screw in a little mounting thing on the back of the globe socket.

HB3 fit straight into the sockets fine, just needs a lug removing where the plug fits onto it, a 2 minute job.

However the HB4 bulb is too wide to fit into the bulb socket, be interested to see some pics of guys with HB4 bulbs.

i drove the car at night just recently and noticed that the beam concentration of light seemed very low on the road. when i hit the high beams they seemed to be how it should be. the light seemed to concentrate just about 2 to 3 metres in front of the car. normally its almost the length of the street in a normal car. when standing on front of the car they are as bright as you would expect its just when driving they seemed to get washed out by the street lights. any suggestions or anyone know how to remedy this etc etc...?

Sounds like the lights are not aimed correctly. You can have a go at it yourself, but best bet is to take it to any place that can give a roadworthy certificate (or equivellent in other states) as they will have an aiming board.

i have just installed some stock headlights and have noticed that on compliance they machine out or by the looks of my old damaged ones , they drilled out and let the aluminium filings fall into the headlight, to make them fit the slightly larger hb4 bulbs. standard hb3 will fit with no headlight mods however you may need to file down the plastic locaters inside the hb3 to fit the connector.
