Headlight upgrade for better lights?

[fjc-man]

The supplied harness is for a two headlamp setup.

what is this kit sell for ?

$45 @ Cruiser Outfitters - Part# ELEC81110KIT - 6+ in stock

I know this is the 70 section but according to those directions above, would just the harness from this kit work in a certain 4 headlight land cruiser?

No. One could tweak two or these harnesses to work with the FJ62's ground switching system buy even at that it wouldn't be with the time/cost over an IPF upgrade harness imo.

Thanks, just curious based on those directions. Ok back to 70 series, sorry for the diversion!

I'm running them on a 24V 70 with different bulbs and some tweaked wiring. The 40 harness is power switched, the 6x/7x is ground switched, constant power to the bulbs.

I stand corrected .. the non-heated ones I found now are $169 .. I found a place showing the heated ones for $249 but they are out of stock.

I run the non-heated and the only issue I have is that the high beam indicator does not light up, but these are bright enough that one does not need an indicator!

I thought this is interesting that your High Beam indicator no longer comes on. I'm in the process of getting a BC provincial inspection (terrible) But I have Trucklites in my BJ74 and have the same problem...No indicator. I'm wondering if I can switch back to stock headlights for the inspection and that will solve the problem or if there is a fuse or bulb I can track down. Did you ever solve yours?

Problem Solved! I just had to switch back to stock bulbs/lenses and my high beam indicator has returned! Phew!

Before you buy anything, here's a good video comparison between quality and garbage 7in headlights.

I put the H4 90/100 in my BJ74. They were a nice improvement, and low cost

Did you buy the hella bulb or the whole headlight for the bj74?

Stedi lights go alright.

Hey brother,
I ended up getting Stedi headlights with additional canbus module. High and low beams work but the module was making lots of noise so I turned it off. The module was hot after. Any suggestions? Thanks

Koito iterations are available and you can remove 12v bulb and put whatever style of 24v bulb you want.

Direct fit.

Currently running these on my BJ74, I want to put led bulbs in but don’t know which ones to get. Have you done this upgrade ?

The Grote ones snap right in the place of the old headlights. 5 minutes per light.

I've had the Truck Lite 27275C on my PZJ77 for a little over two years now and am quite satisfied. The heated lenses are a nice addition if you live up North as the heat emitted by LED headlights isn't always sufficient to melt accumulated snow or ice. I also recall the owner of an HZJ78 from Germany who had installed a similar model that had an extra wire for daytime lights which mine don't have.
