Toyota makes a HSSB upgrade. Best $35 I spent on my 60 and my 40. Pretty popular kit amongst the 60 crowd. Includes upgraded wiring harness and glass bulbs. 1 banana job. Incredible deal.

Here is the part number if you want to google it for pictures and/or purchase: 81110-60P70

About 35 bucks from a Toyota dealership. About $13 from Partsouq.

Here is a link of them being tested in a 40 with different bulbs. LED's may not be great if you drive your truck in the winter, as they don't warm up the lenses enough to melt freezing rain/snow/ice and it accumulates on the light housings.

FJ40 Head Light Upgrade - LED Bulbs

Only @YoYoHo took the time to show us a actual Land Cruiser with the KOITO's installed , my post's were all on my work bench during my R&D phase of Kustom LED Bulb Equipped KOITO Kits , I determined early on the Semi Sealed Beam Housings would have to be Artificially Angled Down Further...

Jan 1 2020 this past ,

TOYOTA did / had a super rare thing and applied a 94% price point increase to the US market by increasing the usa and canada markets
to a MSRP currenty at $58.21 as of 10:09pm EST today

they never sold for $31 even upon first day offering jan 2019 , msrp was closer to $39

so : $39 vs $58 = in my mind a 99% or double TAX on the land cruiser community once again and a ROYAL SHAFT by TOYOTA Japan ......... , there long term loyal and life time product followers

I have a 67 FJ40, doing a frame off and Just Got an awsome set of Halogens with all the wiring, kotto OEM from City Racer for under $50. Great service too.

Rigid Trucklites. Really high performance LEDs. I saw they come on Icons and FJ Co stuff so I gave them a go. They are impressive, comparable to the factory LEDs on my '19 Tundra. I've seen them on Fleabay for up to $600 a set, but some diligent searching will reveal the same model number for $360ish.

Not exactly sure if this is what we have here, but I am sure that it is not desirable to but an LED chip "bulb" in a reflector housing designed for an incandescent bulb. Chips work different and in the wrong reflector will cause some very hot points of light with poor diffusion of light between the hot points. It takes some extra math to make the led reflector work right.

I'll chime in as another happy user of the CityRacer LED option.

Those CityRacer lights look identical to the Rigid lights I bought, just a way better price point. The Rigid design looks to have been picked up by a different manufacturer who let Rigid do all the math. I'm sure they are a solid choice as well.

thats awesome lol....those are the exact same lights that city racer sells for, exactly 1/3 of the price.

Awesome thanks for this. I was able to order from my local dealership for $43 + tax.

Awesome. It's literally the best thing I've done to both my trucks. With everything you get, the kit should easily be at least $150-$200. Pretty much the best deal on any Toyota part. You won't regret it!

Awesome. That's the kit I mentioned. Didn't realize he sold it! Glad you purchased it, you won't be disappointed. It's a great deal, and glad that you supported Roger at City Racer. Great dude and customer service.
