Circle headlight replacement on "Land Cruiser" trim (11 Viewers)

[Eric Sarjeant]

I recently completed a rectangle-to-circle headlight/headlamp swap for a Land Cruiser trim LC250.
Not super technical but not at all "plug and play" either.

You need a total of ten parts to make this possible. Although others have likey swapped these headlights before me, I belive this is the first successful full-blown install from scratch. I say that because many of the parts involved did not have part numbers from Toyota yet. We had to request the part numbers to be made which is not uncommon when a brand-new model comes out. I have a kit put together with all 10-parts if anyone wants to do this on their own. I will post a video on this in the next few days once edited.

I will make another kit for rectangle replacment for 1958/First Edition owners in the next week or so.

2. Qty 1 - 81016-60N90 – RH computer sub assembly

If anyone has any questions, let me know. I will post the video and installation instructions that will show how to install remove the front bumper. NOTE: after install, the MID will show a headlamp malfunction fault, this can easily be remedied in GTS+ (formerly Tech Stream) with a head lamp initialization sequence.

FWIW: 2025 Model year doesn't have First Edition. Only 1958 and Land Cruiser.

Curious if you have seat of the pants light output. Which approach allows you to see further down the road? Could you tell?

Great question, but I have no idea. I did a very unscietific test with the lights off in the shop and I couldn't tell one being better than the other.

Leave it as is with mismatched headlights. Has a sort of quizzical/sherlock holmes vibe to it. Or like it was poked in the eye.

Anyways, the important thing is to look cool!
