24 volt lights (1 Viewer)

Does anyone have a source in the U.S. for 24V light bulbs for headlights, taillights, turn signals etc. ?
(1988 BJ71)

I normally stock up in Canada at local Toyota dealer. But I have also bought in bulk on Ebay. For example: current item # 220697378247 which fits many applications on the BJ71. BTW, my BJ71 is 24v but runs standard 12volt headlamps.

Thanks for the information. I tested the headlights and they are 24V so I assume the other lights are also. None of the parts vendors ( NAPA,
Advance, etc) catalog 24V bulbs.

4Wheel Auto Wholesale This here for the rest,

With those you should be covered

Get your bulbs at Toyota, install H4 headlights and you can get H4 bulbs almost anywhere. Sealed beams are really useless compared to something like a set of Hellas.

We also keep a full stock of all the 24V bulbs your Toyota needs.

Hey 1978HJ45 I converted those headlights to H4 bulbs and housings that I puchased from 4 wheel auto. I can give you the part #'s when I get home on wendesday if you like. On my BJ74 I am using an even higher wattage bulb that are even brighter then the ones in your 71. And yes the rest of the truck requires 24v bulbs as well.

It took a full day but my curiosity finally got the best of me. What the heck is a "H4" light and why is it better?

I've got a nice clean set of Hella H4 type round headlamp assy's with 24v H4 bulbs out of a BJ74 I am parting..
$50 plus the ride.

Thanks for the offer but I think I've got it covered.
Take care......1978HJ45

The "Truck Lite" housings are okay, but not great.

The Hella H4 housings are much better, have a cleaner cut off, and are worth the few extra $$.

for 24V:
bulbs/headlamps
relays
air horns
washer pumps.


ps: if you are in the market for new lenses, go for the euro (ece) units. waaay crisper, throw farther, and they throw a beam towards the shoulder of the road. just keep your dot approved originals under the bench for a rainy day, as you might not pass an inspection without them.

Cost, low to high... Trucklite, Bosch, Hella, IPF
Quality, low to high, Bosch, Trucklite, Hella, IPF
Best Value, Tie between IPF and Trucklite.

The Germans lose in lowenbrau's book.
