Idiot lights are correct for the early years. Maybe until they did away with the generator. I should have those lights if your looking to upgrade
The glass should be easy if not I have that too.

I figured mine was incorrect.
I think the idiot lights were carry over. The generators lasted longer than the lights.

Dan I have a question for you about the bib lights. My 61 came wired for the dual filament lamps even though it had fender mounted turn signals. How about your 62? Was it still wired for dual filament lamps or had they dropped the second wire by then. My 62 I tub I got came with a bunch of extras but none of the front clip. The late 62 hard top I rescued from a junk yard was missing doors and the front bib so no help on that one either.

Mine has two wires coming out of the passenger bib bulb. A green with black strip and a White one with a black candy stripe (Ground).
The driver side has three wires coming from it. One green with yellow candy strip, one green with a balck strip and a white one with a black candy stripe (Ground).
I sprayed the screws with some PB Blaster so i should be able to remove them after awhile.

I thought yours were cut down, that's why I posted that for you.

The driver's side is probably original. Any pictures of how it was wired. My manual shows the two green with yellows with only one wired. My manual is dated 1962 so I guess it could be for 1963
Curious how yours was wired. Here's a few pictures of my 62 tub since we all like to see picture. This is probably the rearest FJ40 model ever imported to the US. FJ40LB. I'll try and find some pictures of my 61. It has just a little rust easy fix

On the driverside, one green with yellow wire disappears in the short loom coming out of the back of the light.

You haven't unloaded the tub yet?

These are old pictures of when I brought it home last summer. I've stripped it dowm some and clean it up. Other than making sure It's not going to rust I haven't done much to it.
Here's a link to the tread I posted these pictures in.

Dan wax the LAND CRUISER part up then take a good picture and post please. Curious what the original color should be. Mine have all been repainted. Seems I remember it being a red.

What is this bracket?
It is angled on the ends with the bolt holes, as seen in the bottom picture.
