LX 470 round headlight conversion and grille

[kelly saad]

Looking back through some files, I decided to try and offer the headlight housings (no grille) for a while to see if we can pick up some momentum here. These turned out pretty nice, however still a bit ugly but there is nothing I can do about the hood shape. Let me know if anyone wants in on the group-buy idea again. These will be $500 per set for if we can get 6 orders. Again, if you haven't heard my opinion on this yet, I believe that black headlights will look best in these. PM if interested. www.landcruisergrilles.com

That is fantastic.. I have the retrofits.. I put in around 2016.. so my truck is set. at $500 you should sell a lot of these. Upgraded lighting is huge on any vehicle.. If I did not already have updgrades I would be all over this. .. Congratulations and you will sell a lot of these.

I still prefer the original with the grill. Too bad not enough interest in that concept. I came onboard after the decision was made to abort.
Maybe a blacked-out oem grill would help tie the look with the retro round'ies.

Agreed. Honestly, I just need some more on different colored LX’s with a couple designs so we can see how it looks. Not enough examples.

If ever the original light and grill concept returns I'm game. I had no issues with the original costs knowing the labor involved. Sad that more didn't see the value.

The original with the grille or just the headlights?

Ditto!

We have a few buyers now and I will be ordering parts to be laser cut soon. Does anyone else want to purchase headlight housings or a grille with headlight housings? Both options are available right now.

I'm In for one as well. On the fence between headlight housing only or headlight and grille.

I will take the full grille. This will give me clearance for a bull bar when I open the hood, right?

ie there is a different latch mechanism/location?

That would give you more clearance. It would be like opening a Land Cruiser hood without a grille attached. Same latch.

Excellent. I am in. I have a Dissent Off-road front bumper installed and bought the bull bar attachment not realizing it doesn’t fit on the LX470 because of the grille opening. They were excellent and offered me a refund if I returned it but I held onto it in hopes of putting on one of these grilles. I am in Flagstaff too so can come pick it up in person.

Ok great. I sent the PM with the links. Also, we have CSC northern meetings at my shop each month if you would like to join.

Found the thread

Will the headlight portion of the grille kit be compatible with stock grille if I find I like that look better and want to revert?
