Well I got mine in yesterday, and installed last night. KUDOS to toyota on that engineering job. What a PITA just to change head lights. any way here are some pictures.

old lights on garage slight incline

old head lights on drive way slight decline

new ebay H4 conversions with 100/55 white bulbs price $43

new head lights on drive


Considering the price I am very pleased. I have some tweaking to do, the high beams seem to point down. My guess is I put these in upside down. Yea for me. Oh well. I can actually see when it's dark now, for that I am pleased.
As stated by others the quality looks pretty good, and the rubber seals are a nice touch.

hhmm, those have projector lenses built in which would be perfect for a HID bulb...

I might just be missing something but isn't an H6054 an H6054? Just because the listing for Toyota trucks isn't there anymore, he does have plenty of other listings for 200mm H4 conversions in his ebay store. Wouldn't those work just as well?

EDIT: n/m I got looking closer and for some reason all the other lights he has on there have a plastic reflector and clear lens. Weird....

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?

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

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