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... |

I picked up one of these kits last spring. I'm using the new Koito headlights in the 914 in place of the SEV Marchal "flat face" lights I had been running. Here are a few pics showing how they look in the car:
There's no physical interference (at least on my car), and the lighting performance is almost as good as my old Marchal lights (and I wouldn't care as much if one of the Koito lights took a rock). FWIW, the Toyota harness will go into my old Volvo 240 (didn't need it for the 914 as I updated its wiring using the 911 relay kit from JWest Engineering). Hope this helps! |
