Lights Replacement

[Tapage]

Hi all folks .. I have this ..

I know that is not the common system in the US specs 80 series .. but if you see the high beam are fine .. but the low beam it's horrible .. !

So I try to find this replacement .. hopefully bosch, but if I can't other brand is ok ..

actually have a H4 55/60 bulb .. but I already have the 100/90 and bakelite conectors .. to replace teh factory ones.

Sugestions . ?

you might have better luck in the 60's forum the 1988-1990's run the same lights I believe.

.. but the low beam it's horrible .. !

Do you mean it does not have enough light output or the light cut-off is not good?

Anyway, I "think" I recall Landpimp saying that he was satisfied with either a Cibie or IPF replacement's performance. I hear that anything that is European "E" code approved is pretty dang good. I have heard that some people who have done the quad-light conversion in Japan saying that they have had good results by going to/with Cibie.

Good luck!

David,

The factory Koyto round and square light fixtures are terrible. Replace them with Hellas H4.

If the wiring harness on your FJ80 is anything like a 62's, you will need to upgrade the harness to run H4s, if I recall correctly.

Not if he runs 55/65W lights. The bulb is the same. Better glass. Have I mentioned that Koyto sucks on square and round lamps....

They did a much better job on the 80.

yes .. but I plan upgrade to 100/90W as same I do in my HJ-60

They did a much better job on the 80.

I hope .. !!!

 

[alvarorb]

Then CSA would be right. You'll need a light harness upgrade.

I'm was running a H3/H4 relayed headlight set-up on my Jetta and it ruled. Basically, the sealed beam HL were replaced with Cibie headlights. Looked stock, but the light pattern and "brightness" were so much better.

FYI, the Cibie 4x6 lamps are much better than the Hella's. I have run both in the past. You can get these through Daniel Stern, although there may be better low cost options.

I remember paying $100 for all four of these lamps back in the early 90's.

 

[CreeperSleeper]

I agree. I've ran both as well. I picked up my last set used, but I know that quite a few VW tuners have Cibie's in stock.

I got the first part ..
