Headlight conversion complete
when I got my 4.88's out of the 94 runner I also took the headlights,corner lamps,grill, and front bumper. I hate sealed beams So i figured I would see if they fit. After removing the sealed beam and bucket I test fit the 94 headlamp not a direct fit but an easy mod. I love the newer front end look.

I actually got them for free. Well i bought the 488's for $200. and when I got there I told him I was taking front and rear bumpers and grill. He said ok
There was some trimming of the core support(minor) and some trimming of the grill two of the mounting taps dont line up so I broke out the hacksaw.

I would love to do that, but i love having clear headlights to much. and i don't know how the internal reflectors compare to the 92+ Aero headlights with 100W bulbs.
Love the new look.

Good job! But I have to say, im not a real fan of the output of those lights.
When I drive my girlfriends 95, her lights are pretty bad. That is, compaired to my hella e-codes...
But good job on the changeover, my parts guy did the same thing with his 4runner.

Thanks guys I am going to do a full write up when i get back from Rausch Creek this weekend!
I agree the beam is not directed as well as the seald beams so I am going to do the HID2 install next.
I think 6000kelvin should brighten it up plenty

I was going to do it too!
I was planning on doing the same conversion to my 90 pickup. But I have too many projects! The shame is I found a really nice set of JDM headlights, grill, and clear corner markers with the bulbs and pigtails. So if anyone is interested I have them up in the misc. classifieds section right now.
