HID lighting, LED conversion?

[可愛いKawaiiNIsaki]

Hey all I am new to the forums, glad to be here, sorry if this has been asked before, I didnt see it though. I have a 2015 Corolla L, and every place I call about HID lighting for this cars main low beams, they wont touch it. Im assuming conversion from the stock LED headlights, to HID is impossible? All they would touch is the high beams. Is it possible to convert the LED headlights to HID, and will they be aimed as good as the stock LEDs through the stock projectors? Also I might as well ask my other ?s, is there any way I can find a all black mesh grille for this car like the older corollas have available? Or I have to have one custom made? Also during idle it sounds like a faint school bus diesel type sound, is that nomal? LIke a small rattling, I noticed it better at a drive thru. Maybe im just being paranoid,car runs great, 15000 miles. Again glad to be here, and thanks for any answers!

Grille : you may start here http://www.shopsar.com/toyota-corolla-mesh-grille-p/1127-x108-14.htm (their black doesn't look black to me...) then go on searching google with parts numbers and description.
Headlights : I understand them. At least to me, going HID instead of LED is like downgrading
Engine noise : Probably normal

OK thanks, any way I can get a more of a bluer tint to the headlights then? Also I installed some new turn signal lights for the front, LED, look better, and work, but when I use the turn signal, its super fast. Is that normal? And thanks for the link

Bluer tint : depend on where you're living (laws, regulations). Where I am (Canada) it's an absolute no-no as it reduces visibility (especially compared to the "whiter" white of LED
Turn signal : I really don't know but you'll find threads about it on this forum like this one http://www.corollaforum.com/threads/led-turn-signal-issue.2086/#post-8590

I agree going from LED to HID is downgrading just to get the 10K Blue color of the HID will not make it any brighter. LED is the brightest you can go.

The turn signal hyper flash is caused by the low current draw of the LED bulb. You need to add a 6ohm load resistor across the bulb socket terminals at each socket that has led. IOW, 4 bulbs equals 4 resistors needed.

Hid lo beams is a downgrade IMO.

Jolly, What does blue 10k look like with snow reflection?

Why would you ditch the beautiful OEM LED for HID? What's the point?

 

[Donabed Kopoian]

10K is more dim than the ~5500K the stock LEDs are at.

I find stock LED wonderful. They were one reason, among others, to choose the car. Snow – or rain – reflection comes from brightness and more or less focus rather than color. The sharp cut-off helps.

Because I can, last time I checked, why someone wants to put a part on their car comes down to personal taste. Asking why is a complete waste of time.I always liked a more bluer tint. Simple.

Just think you'd lose more than you gain. Just my $0.02
