Hands down, wide nose. The wide nose "fills" the ARB bumper and it looks great!
Abundance of 70 Series parts....

As I play with more and more cruisers from other parts of the world I am finding out Toyota did some strange things depending on where the cruiser was destined. Grab a part off the self that you know would fit an Aussie truck and it won't work on an African truck. And sometimes larger organizations will place a special order for a unique feature....like an older school dash in a 2016 truck. But the same group that wants the older school dash is probably ordering the truck with a 1HZ...all comes down to simplicity.
I am torn between the two front ends as I really like round headlights. But there is something unique about the wide nose. Maybe I should just build two vehicles one with each front end!
I believe the last production 73/74 was 12/2006.... and it had a narrow nose. The face lift started production in 1/2007.
Are those wide nose headlights stamped with DOT markings?
Likely no as they were never sold in DOT countries. Luckily DOT is self certified so you just need to get handy with some steel letter stamps and a torch
The wide nose "fills" the "correct" ARB bumper and it looks great.
I had a 78 for work which has dot stamps on all the light.
I like narrow. But would not kick either one out of bed. Wide ones need love too.
