That’s weird, I didn’t have to cut anything when I reinstalled the old bumper with the newer headlights.

I got the SAAS SGAP6-2415 from ebay. I haven’t installed it yet. I have Defi oil pressure and oil temperature sensors installed so I can monitor them on my Defi FD display. I previously had the tee on the oil pressure port but the oil temp reading was too low. I also couldn’t swap the temp...

I have a Zeon 10-S on mine. It needs spacers in order for the sides of the winch to clear the bumper.

Got the Alternator tach signal adapter. Installed on my HDJ80. For how cheap it is I can’t believe it worked. I did have to set the number of cylinders in my Defi FD to 8 instead of 6.

Yeah the tacho wire also didn’t work for me. So I ordered one of those devices that clips onto the alternator and sends out a tach signal. Hopefully it works. I really want to get the rpm working on my Defi FD unit since my oem tach has been acting up for quite some time now. It’ll drop to zero...

Yes they are indeed rear fog lights, as can be seen in the photo of the manual in my previous post. I do agree that they add a sporty look to a car, but nevertheless they are also used on SUVs and even minivans :)

Not a Land Cruiser but these are from the owners manual of my BMW and GT86

@ToyotaMatt On the subject of rear fog light switches, I noticed the ones in the photos you posted are not ideal (2 way). Usually rear fog light switches are momentary contact coupled with a latching relay or in newer cars, the light ECU or body module. This is to make sure the rear fog light...

I encountered the same issue when I installed H4 LED bulbs on my 80 series. The solution was to wire an incandescent bulb so the high beam indicator can be grounded. I used a 5 watt T10 bulb and an H4 extension harness (because I didn’t want to splice into the factory wiring). It’s plug and play...

The center mounted rear fog lights aren’t exclusive to “narrow and low” cars, they’re also used in SUVs. Also, all the examples I mentioned (Supra, GT86, GR86, Minis) have the center rear fogs mounted way down close to the ground probably so that they’re a good distance from the third brake light

I get your point about having one rear fog to the side of the opposite lane can aid in overtaking. I’m just saying that that’s not the main purpose. If it was then they wouldn’t allow cars to have center mounted rear fog lights. One could also argue that having two is better since you are able...

The main purpose of rear fog lights is to make you visible to the cars behind, not show which side the cars behind can pass. That’s why there are cars with center mounted rear fog lights from the factory like the GT86, GR86, Mini Coopers, WRX’s, Supra.

Thank you very much for this! Would it possible to also post the page of the electrical connectors?

According to the info posted here, it should have the shorter birfs unless you have a PTO winch? I forgot about this thread but I did end up bolting on Aisin hubs on my factory part time ‘96 HDJ80 with no ABS I got the hubs from Cruiserparts.net. I wish I got them from somebody else because...
