Hey Dbbowen. Can't argue that I like the look of the retro style. But I wouldn't say they're the defacto as everybody wants something different. I went with these LED's for the ridiculous brightness, and more specifically the ability to have all four lights on at the same time (whether in low or...
The high beams and low beams work, they are just wired backward at the moment. So to run your low beams you need the brights on, and to run your brights you need to kick it into low beams. My plan is to re-pin the plugs (which should be super easy to do) and then I'll be back to normal.
If you...

Finally, everything gets screwed back in and you're good to go!
Here are some After photos at night. Keep in mind my phone camera's night mode is trying to equal out the brightness of everything, but in reality these lights are STUPID bright on low beams, and even brighter on...

The next step was to plug in the 3-pin adapter/splitter that Dapper provided. This adapter plugs into the low beam 3-pin. The high beam 3-pin is no longer used.
Once the adapter is plugged in, you can re-mount the new lights and plug in the 3-pin plugs into the new adapter...
INSTALLATION PT5
So once I was able to get all the halogen headlights out, it was easy to drop in the new Dapper led headlights and mount the housing back on.
I re-used all the old screws I could, but for the ones I stripped I ran to home depot and picked 8 of these guys. They are slightly...
INSTALLATION PT4
Once you have all the screws out and the springs unhooked, you can remove the four lights. From here, you will need to remove four screws from each headlight housing to remove the old halogen headlights.
Ideally, this is what it should look like when you take out the four...
INSTALLATION PT3
Now it was time to pull out my old halogen lighting. This should have been an easy process but soon you will see why it wasn't😭.
To access your headlights you need to remove a series of screws. Your order should be:
- Turn Signals
- Chrome headlight bezels
- Headlights
First...
INSTALLATION PT2
In the box you'll find the headlight units, the led bulbs, 3-pin connection wiring, and a 3-pin adapter/splitter (that plugs into your low beam 3-pin)
Just pull the headlights out of the box, grab the led bulb, and easily mount and twist the bulb to lock it in place in the...
Hey friends.
For a long time I've been wanting to upgrade my factory halogen headlights on my 1988 FJ62. When I would drive at night, it felt like I was on the Oregon Trail using candlelight. If somebody walked in front of my cruiser it was game over...because I wouldn't be able to see them...
Same issue here Spook. I took the original A/C bulb out, put in the LED and it didn't come on. Took it back out and looked at it, tried again, nothing. Took it back out and put the original back in, nothing. Took it back out and put in the LED one last time and BINGO it magically worked. I don't...
Hey friends.
I just finished upgrading all of my old dash bulbs, as well as cargo and dome lights, with new LEDs from SuperBrightLeds. I was using a list from an old thread on here, but most bulbs on the list were no longer in production. So...I made a new list with links, prices, colors...
