While cruising through Arnie's post project thread a comment he posted made me do a bit of searching.

Arnie's thread: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=320359

What my search for "Toyota head light kit" revealed was this

https://cruiserteq.com/oem-toyota-koito-h4-...s-elec81110kit/

That shows a pair of "OEM" glass 7" housings, H4 bulbs, and what looks like a pretty nice harness with relays.

For $42.50...

Hands down this is the least expensive route to glass housing H4 set up.

If the parts are actually made in Japan, the quality will be excellent.

I'd order today if I hadn't already solved my headlight gathering with a used 914Rubber LED kit.

The glass H4 housings individually are often more than that whole kit.

One of the more common LED replacement bulbs is for the H4.

Hope this helps someone...

Arnie advised housings available direct from Toyota cheaper.

Called my dealer, my wholesale price was 18.44.

I verified the kits include everything in the first post.

The relays ALONE are worth $18 and there appears to be two of them installed in a nice-looking harness. As this will all be OEM Toyota the quality level will be better than almost anything you can buy aftermarket.

I ordered 5 kits.

Supposed to be here tomorrow.

No "shipping" at all.

So much cheaper than I expected.

I hope they are curved correctly!

This is one of my "pet peeves" regarding what is available now...

Every now and then you can hit decent parts at 1980 prices.

Huge thanks to Arnie for making me aware of the availability of these!!!

After they arrive, please let us know how they look compared to Hella H4 and 914 original spec sealed beam lamps.

They look like this.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-14731-1727810766.1.jpg)

Part number 81110-60P70

As Techncalninja said you can't get relays or a harness for this price. Tech tip, it's dark outside when you use your headlights. Neither you, nor anyone else can see what they look like!
