Headlights for 78 FJ40?

Gusb · 06-25-08, 03:22 PM

Last place I went to this morning had listing for 79 and newer.

Toyota dealership said just "get them anywhere".

Any ideas on what/where to purchase?

Thanks

7" round sealed beams. Standard the world over (or at least North America and Europe) for the last 75 years or so.

If you want to kick it up a slight notch, you could get the plug'n'play headlight harness from ARB and some H4 headlights. I have the IPF lights setup with the harness and love it.

I haven't compared them to the H4's, but the SilverStar 7" sealed beams are about $20 a piece, a lot brighter than the stockers, and if you break one...you're only out $20.
