ebay h4 conversion kit installed - Page 4

muddpigg · 12-26-2008, 09:13 PM

I got these paid like $30. They've got the inner lense, don't know for what. I really need to spend the time widen the metal holding ring as these seem to be wider. I also need to aim better much wider pattern and bright with included lenses.

Will these 200mm fit an '84 4runner? My guess is yes, but want to make sure. His store says these will fit '88-'91 4runner. I thought all first gen bulbs were the same?

iamsuperbleeder · 12-26-2008, 10:07 PM

I had some projector style conversions in my 91 for a while and mine were CRAP

absolutely horrible light output and spread, and about 3 weeks after having them, the driver's side leaked and the reflector began to rust while at the same time the lense just fogged up...

somehow the light bulb never did blow...

I even went as far as actually wiring up the little bulb in it and putting a green LED in it...

although not the projector style, my current versions are still not as good as I would like, but are a lot better than the standard replacements...

one has developed a slight leak that's for now only obvious after heavy rains, but they'll soon be replaced too, and at the same time I'll install and upgrade the wiring harness to them

muddpigg · 12-26-2008, 10:16 PM

Yeah a bead of silicon wouldn't hurt mine, but haven't noticed any leaks. They're all plastic, so no rust issues.

iamsuperbleeder · 12-26-2008, 10:22 PM

well my were plastic too, but the reflector inside was just some sort of chrome dip or something I guess... and it started to rust bad (you can kinda see it at the bottom of the light in that 1st pic I posted)

I'm not say'n your's are crap, I just had a bad experience with them...

No worries, they may be crap. Time will tell. I just wasn't going to spurge for round eyes or hella. The last seal beams I had cracked in the first week of replacement while wheeling.

my first set was a cheap eBay set (not the projector style), and I cracked them trying to adjust them, lol

I'm on my 3rd set of conversions so far...

I'll find some that I like eventually...

or I'll give up and just throw in some standard replacement Silverstars or something

SwampThing · 12-26-2008, 11:52 PM

Dang, so I'm guessing they won't fit an 84 p/u... Oh well, guess I'll keep on buying silverstars.

iamsuperbleeder · 12-27-2008, 12:20 AM

they should; aren't they a standard 6054 square-style lights?

SwampThing · 12-27-2008, 12:26 AM

Well I was only looking at the years. I suppose it would though, wouldn't it...

iamsuperbleeder · 12-27-2008, 12:49 AM

yeah man; their the same shape, size, and form as a 6054 Silvania, Wagner, or whatever other brand of headlight, but it's just adapted in the back so that just the bulb is replaceable, that way you do not have to remove the entire light if you need to replace the bulb. once installed, your truck headlights are then standard H4 bulbs which have the exact same pin design as the plug on the back of a 6054 bulb, so the stock plugs will plug right in

SwampThing · 12-27-2008, 12:56 AM

Well groovy. Might just go ahead and order once that dude gets more.

Elton · 12-27-2008, 01:20 AM

84-95 should all be 200mm or 7x6 excludes 92-95 4runners

vwfastg60 · 12-27-2008, 05:18 AM

My buddy just installed the same ones as the OP. We installed 55w Bi Xenon tho and im thinking im getting rid of my 35w kit for a 55watt kit! I have the Hella crystal clear with no fluting with 35w bi xenon (6000k kit) and loved it but i might have to get with the times...

82yota · 12-27-2008, 07:38 AM

82 to 95 trucks should all take these lights. They changed from round lights to square lights in 82. I may have to get a set once they are available again as well. My one lights leaking and they really suck at night. Guess thats what the 130W IPF moose lights on top the cab are for.

muddpigg · 12-30-2008, 10:53 PM

So to finish what I started. I put a set of ultravision lamps in these great e-bay housings, they came with some cheap blue tinted bulbs. I check and adjust the aim, I am freak'n happy. Like $44 bucks (housing and bulb) into this set up that I love. Well, we get back from some snow wheeling and sledding. I bet you can guess where this is going. The driver side lens is major cracked. No cones or holes just cracked. Well that let all the hot air out of my sail. I'll look some tomorrow to see if Ian swap lenses, but I'm thinking probably not. We got rain and snow after I put the housings in but that was with the old bulbs maybe the ultravisions were a little warmer and ice water splashed them??? The housings were marked 55/60w bulbs only. Now we know.

He has plenty listed still, they're just under other vehicles names. Here's one of them:

Btw, there's also a DOT approved version for a few bucks more for those of you that want to stay legal.

trbizwiz · 12-31-2008, 06:56 AM

My lenses look alot more like the DOT lenses than the diamond crystal lenses. Plus the back of mine were brown. But mine had a sticker that said for off road use only. Those seem to peel off pretty easily though.

eburkett · 12-31-2008, 07:14 AM

These fit my truck? 95.5 tacoma

regularjoe · 12-31-2008, 11:37 AM

I just ordered the ones that ovrrdrive posted in post 93. Ill let you all know how well they work.

toylocost · 12-31-2008, 05:46 PM

I just ordered the DOT approved ones. He wanted 27.50 I offered 24, he declined, I offered 25, he countered with 26.50 so I got a dollar off. lol.

i had those before i got the e codes and i hated them. the light was very scattered and i was getting flashed like i had my high beams on all the time. when i did have my high beams on it threw the light way down the road and right in front of the truck was very dim. i ended up selling them to a guy i work with and he put them in his supra. about 2 months later the little shield inside broke off and now the pattern is even worse.

ovrrdrive · 12-31-2008, 08:22 PM

I went ahead and got a set too. This time I offered $23 and he took it.

I'm trying to figure out how to upgrade the bulbs to the Ultra Blue 100/55W.
