I really liked the way my buddy's BJ70 looked with the roundeyes.com upgrade so I went online and ordered me up a pair.. They are priced great at $99 shipped and the quality is outstanding. The glass lens is top quality and the reflectors look to be well designed. Highly recommended and a half bannana (easy) to install.

I already don't like him!!! :D The Princess was supposed to be mine :crybaby::crybaby:
 
No, I did not upgrade the harness, but the lights shine really bright on the stock one.

The lock is for the axe/shovel holder that's mounted above the fairlead.

Intro? What kinda of intro do you need? :flipoff2: I've been on mud for years mostly on the 80 Series and Trailer sections of MUD. I have owned two FZJ80's in the past and really love them, but have always yearned for a diesel land cruiser. Last month everything clicked into place (sold house and '93 FZJ80) giving me the chance to buy the Princess:princess: from my friend Henry.

I'm still getting used to her. She's tempermental and has a couple of things I need to address, but is one really cool cruiser.

Yeah, I have been debating it. It might be a bit too dark, though.

david if you decide to black out your grill and bezels, let me know. I'll trade you mine + some cash. The finish of mine is not as good and would be better suited to be be stripped and repainted... :D

nice mod, yet another one to add to my list :cool:

Thanks, mine's pretty dull and not in perfect shape, but will keep you in mind if I do decide to go black.
 
So the lens is not glass? I assume that you are using the bulbs that came with the "roundeyes", that are street legal? If I was to step up to a higher wattage bulb (like they sell) what is the largest that I can go without changing the headlight wire harness? Even with the bulb that they supply, is it a night and day difference between "roundeyes" and the stock sealed beams? What are the general reviews of the "roundeyes" products? Should I go with a higer wattage bulb?

Thanks,
Zack
 
I use in my Tencha for a year or so H4 Bosch 100/90 with the stock light harness without problems.

Well I guess my concern with the higher wattage bulbs is that I would burn up the stock wire harness. So I guess that with the higher wattage bulbs and the stock harness you just lose some light power but it is not harming anything on the truck?


Thanks,
Zack
