This post is a little preemptive, my new set of headlights will be done in about a week but posting the old set in the off-chance that someone in Utah wants to stop by and go for a drive with the headlights on the rig before deciding to purchase. Before you dig into the specs and price, consider...
Put together a spare retrofit setup using extra parts around the shop (most of which are upgrades from my basic setups). The setup does have one blem lens that I had leftover from a warranty replacement. It has two small impact spots on the inside where a projector lens hit after the adjuster on...
First I want to say that I have been building custom headlights for customers across the US and a few other countries for over 6 years so this isn't my first rodeo, though it was my first set of lx570s since acquiring my 08 starfire pearl a month ago. My own builds are geared more towards output...
Hey gang,
I'm working on retrofitting a pair of 2016 BMW 428xi sport seats into a 1998 LX470. I have a few diagrams, though some of the BMW diagrams I'm currently not 100% certain of having the right ones. I'm putting together information from various threads around the internet to try to...
Has anyone ever fit cables for the tailgate on an 80? One of my stays got damaged and was wondering if cables were an option? Tried searching on here and didn't see any threads about it.
Thanks,
Andy
Hey folks - I've gotten a lot from this forum and figured it might be time to give back a bit.
You have to really want this to go through the effort for the retrofit. Every time I would hop in the 80, I would miss the seat-mounted armrest that the 100 has - they are the best. I was...
Hello all,
I'm trying to get the factory cruise control to work on my GCC spec Troopy.
So far, I've added the blue wire to the ECU pin 40. I've changed the clock spring to accept the cruise control wire. But the cruise control is not working.
I'm questioning whether the ECU has the drivers...

Looking to retrofit a '73 to the later single piece doors. Looking for a complete set of the 2 front doors with the lock and window mechanisms intact, along with the strikers. Willing to travel to neighboring states or to ship if needed, but pick up preffered.
Hi everyone! I recently purchased a 2001 LX470. I have the stock Mark Levinson Radio and attempted to retrofit Bluetooth using the Grom BT-3. However, when I clicked CD nothing happened and I’m thinking it’s because my radio has an internal 6 CD changer with no plug/harness going back into the...
This was my first attempt at a headlight retrofit. I read several other write-ups on ih8mud as a guide/ confidence booster. The other threads are very informative but didn’t cover the extra work of fitting Morimoto mleds. The mleds have a heat sink/fan making them a longer/chunkier projector so...
SOLD
Last year I bought from Lou @Luke111 his headlight retrofit brackets and a Morimoto Mini H1 8.0 kit for my 2007 LX470. I also bought a spare set of headlights to perform the retrofit.
I started the project but ultimately decided to focus on other projects and leave my LX headlights stock...

As detailed in another thread, I am likely going to be rebuilding my 2.8 diesel.
Because the 3L and 5L engines (5L with mech injection) are incredibly similar, I have considering swapping in a low mileage 5L. Finding one has so far proved difficult. I don't know of anyone that imports them...
Hey all,
Finishing up installing the ac in my fj73 that’s being engine swapped with a 1hz, but can’t figure out what to do with the likes of the ac amplifier.
All the parts for the ac that I got came from an early hzj79
-compressor
-evaporator
-control panel
-drier receiver is new and so is the...
Hi guys,
I recently retrofitted my headlights and replaced the polycarbonate covers. I removed these old ones from the lights and they're in good condition. No rock impacts but not perfect. Could be perfect if you're looking to replace one or more of yours and you could polish them up before...
Hey gang. I paid someone to retrofit some HID projectors into my 2002 headlamps, and they didn't do a great job. In fact, they did a really, really bad job. Aside from a half-melted tab and scratched shrouds, the headlight housings no longer adjust up and down, OR right and left. I suspect it's...
not having a dashlight dimmer is really getting to me I was wondering if anyone has done a retrofit?
I have looked for an existing connector but none has been found to my knowledge was wondering if anyone has done this mod?
seems like I just have to find the wire that gives power to the dash...
