For Sale Boise, ID: 1973 Fj40 Koito Reverse Lamp

[mattressking]

Location

United States

I realized I don't plan to own a '73 anytime soon or ever and having it sit in a box is ridiculous, so I've decided to list it. The price is high....to reflect the inability to find them except through @65swb45 or some other difficult means. If you're doing a restoration, this is for you. I cleaned the lamp and straighted a number of dents but left in its original condition. The power wire was cut down so I added a female bullet connector. If you need a jumper to connect between the body I can whip one up and include.

Condition - the lamp housing itself is slightly corrodded, see pictures but the bulb housing and wiring are in beautiful shape. If you wanted it to be replated, that would likely be the only way to get a completely reflect surface again. There is no pitting so if you blast and replate, you should be in great shape. The body is in good shape, nearly perfect but again, I wouldn't mess with it unless this is a concours vehicle. The body gasket is in beautiful shape, very pliable and still shows all original TEQ, Koito and Toyota markings. The bezel is nearly perfect and the lens is in perfect condition. The lens gasket was long gone so I whipped one up with some 5mm closed cell foam. You get two options for bulbs and I belive I have a new genuine Koito bulb as well so I can include.

The original screw heads were toast so once removed I swapped for new OEM screws.

Price - $485 shipped and insured.

Someone may buy this first then look for a 1973 to put it on. GLWS

That’s how every single project usually starts for me

So you're calling Mark "a difficult means"? I've found him pleasant to deal with.0

Why would you insinuate that on someone’s for sale thread? If Mark feels I was stating he is difficult he’s welcome to contact me, but that’s not the case.

Happy I don't own a '73 !

 

[Tancruiser]

I'm glad I own a intact 73

 

[swamp-thing]

Dale, better take that intact light off and put it in the vault with all your vaders…..reverse lights are overrated anyway

Difficult means, means that you can buy this one, get one from Mark for probably the same or close to it price, or you can take the difficult task of finding one in the wild or a private sale. Got speed on that difficult latter one.

Going pull this one off before it gets broken and move to a vault a long with my spare and vader lights. Current prices on parts going to need a larger vault.

Goodness. I am glad that I have one on my 73 and a back up in case the one on it gets broken. GLWYS

It sounded that way when I read it too. I kinda chuckled and assumed it wasn’t intended that way.
