A pic of where your license light actually mounts would be good... I hear they were mounted a couple of different ways?

Let me know if you need any more photos. The Cruiser is 15' from me right now.

The license plate light wire route was a guess by me, it didn't exist when I got the Cruiser.

This makes it more than one FJ25 in your hands. Lots of pics please.

I think most licence plate lights were in the same general area. Some licence plate brackets were mounted above the light like mine or mounted underneath the light. This is a home made plate/light bracket with a FJ40 license plate light. FJ25 light was a little different but basically the same thing. EDIT: some lights were mounted up a little higher on the body.

This makes it more than one FJ25 in your hands. Lots of pics please.

Ill post some soon.

The light is very hard to find. You just running a 1970 era light?.
Thanks, Mike

Well that explains why the example I had of the license light extension was so long! Ideally there should be a short version and a long version but I bet Toyota only had one lenght, LONG!

Hey Mark, you still up for making these harnesses? The FJ28 restoration could probably use one! I'll send you a PM. Should be the same as the FJ25 but the rear section would just need to be a little longer (longer wheelbase)

Work a price for the mounts, we could always just run an early fj40 light? I'm sure a couple more guys would jump in. @scoobiedubes
Thanks,

The tin can is easy to reproduce. I always thought the most expedient way to reproduce the light would be to make a mold of the lens and cover assembled, and cast the whole thing in clear. Then paint the cover portion of the casting body color to match.

Or just find a Toyopet sedan in a boneyard.......

The ideas are starting to flow!
