FYI, footcandles is a measurement that measures the intensity of light that falls on a surface, which is why the measurement in the rearview mirror isn't what you'd expect. For more info, see this article:

My meter is identical to the meter shown on pg. 1 for footcandles.

I must of gotten lucky.... I just picked mine up at the local Deere dealership for $9.99. They did say that they have been getting lots of calls for these bulbs and that the price has risen to $23.00. To think I almost told them that I didn't want them as this will be an extra pair. I'm glad I spent the $20.00 bucks now.

Been trying my local JD dealers - no luck and none showing up on back order either. Any other bulbs worth swapping in?

Yep, check the FAQ.

[psfpilot]

You could also try ordering from their website - jdparts.deere.com

I just installed a pair of the low beams and I like them, I can tell the difference without any scientific measures, especially nice on those dark rainy nights that we get here in WA (west side)

Uploaded list of US JD dealer inventory on AH211917.

I took the inventory at the first one (Barnett/Olympia, WA)

Best,

I have a pdf showing US dealer inventory - not sure how to publish this.

What was the price paid for the bulbs? If it was $9.99 then would you please PM me for email addy to send the .pdf to?

[Bluetribal]

I couldn't really notice much of a difference but I have a before pic and haven't taken an after pic yet. But will try and do so and post this weekend.

[FJnAK]

I noticed a difference right away, the beams are more focused and I could see at least 1/4 farther than the OEM's.

[Ruadhrigh]

Just got mine ordered

twenty bucks a pop... but oh well.

On a BMW board some one stated there were something like 88 JD bulbs available in Minneapolis going for $9.99 each! Anybody near a JD dealer in Minneapolis?

If so, how about scoring me a pair at $9.99 each, I'll pay for shipping! Thanks, Brewster

x2...Actually I'd be in for 10 or more. Lots of local club folks looking for them. Anyone out there? HELP

[nagerjaeger]

I hope I'm doing this right. My name is Park Richard and about a year ago I purchased a 1991 FJ80 with 150,000 miles on it. It is in very good shape, completely stock, and due to my financial status will most likely have to remain that way.

However, I like to go shooting in farmers fields and almost got it stuck and really muddy the first time I took it out. My buddy laughed his butt off as he watched my huge eyes as I squirted around in a coulee until I came to the end and was able to get it out.

I change the oil every 3,000 miles. 8 quarts was new to me. It burns a quart every 1,000 miles. I'm not too worried about it since it seems to have ok power and does not blow smoke.

My wife likes it and it is our daily driver.

Nagerjaeger,
We welcome newbies but I will point out that you have replied to a relatively old thread and your post was "off-topic" for this thread. Generally, new members will post a New Thread with a subject like "Introduction of a new member with a 1991 FJ80" or "Hello from a new member from Tucumcari, New Mexico".

Then you can describe your ride, how you plan to use it, and post a picture if possible. We like pictures; not of you though... pictures of your truck or the places where you take it.

<==== New member greeting.

Kurt,
Don't you have some old rusty nuts that need PB Blasted?

That reminds me. I suggested to Nagerjaeger that he should post pics of his truck. I can remember when we first struggled with teaching you how to work a digicam and how to post pictures. Those were some trying times Kurt, and as I recall, you posted about 2 dozen pictures of a freakin' turtle in your back yard. Please do a search and find those old pictures. We need a laugh every so often.

I tried to find them at the original $10 price...Believe me I tried VERY hard. Last I checked with the local JD stores the price was $23.99 ea and up. I even scoured the web and looked into trying to become a distributor. Basically I wasted tons of my time and came up empty

I finally broke down and bought them here:

HIRs on ebay (current auction...if it doesn't work search for "HIR" in ebay)

$26.95 + $5 USPS Priority Mail shipping (up to 8 bulbs) w/ no tax (unless in WA)

I figured by the time I drove to pick these up at my "local" JD, figured in my time, gas, and taxes, the cost would be about the same to just buy them online and shop in my PJs

And, if you have some friends that want them you could do a group buy to save a little on shipping

[supercarrera]

Hey Corsair thanks for doing the legwork on this. I just orders a couple.

[teejnut]

For those running HIRs in your hi/lo beams. What kind of auxiliary light beam pattern do you recommend (fog, driving, pencil, euro, etc)?

[hkl0000]

Good find, just called them and they are out of the HIR bulbs.

[toylndcrusr]

I have read through this thread and I am a little confussed. Could someone please post with which bulbs are for the hi beam and which are for the lows? I.e.:

High Beams: ___________
Low Beams: ___________

Thanks

[firetruck41]

JD bulbs are for the low beams only. Check the faq for other lighting options.
