Does anyone know of a company that has made aftermarket lights for the 89 toyota pickup? Something better than the standard lights, like a xeon or whatever fillament that makes it brighter. My lights are really dim. Especially the brights.

As a secondary question, does anyone know of any ROUND lights (circular), possibly off another truck, that will fit an 89 toyota pickup? By round, I mean the round style, like on the older toyotas and all the jeeps. I like the round lights Adds personality.

 

I'm not sure about round lights, but this is what I plan on installing:

Anything extra will be worth the price. You might have to upgrade the wiring harness if you plan on going for a high wattage bulb.

I almost went with the Hella's, I like the fact that you can change the bulbs. The brightest ones I've seen for our trucks are the Sylvania "Silver Stars". I used to run those all the time but I would have to replace them once a year, I got pretty tired of that. I live in Phoenix too so I'm sure the heat here didn't help them last long, plus they run super hot anyway. Super bright though.

 

they make h4 HID kits out here in japan for the old style rectangle lights, i plan on trying to get some before i head for turkey....

 

Excellent link. Thanks. Which ones should I look at buying? The 55w or what?

Also, why would I want to mess with the wiring? Isn't the standard wiring good enough?

 

I have a set of the Hella Vision Plus Conversion Headlights I love the beam pattern I got an H4 HID kit too make extra fancy!!!

I'm still trying to decide which bulbs I want tot use. It seems to be a pretty personal choice, depending on conditions you drive in. And if you want them to be functional or just have the "blue" look.

If you put a 100w bulb in a spot that was designed for a 55w bulb you may get problems. This link will explain in much better than I could:

Which ones are the blue ones? That's the xenon ones, right? I would prefer not to have those, as those are illegal in some states.

 

Best to do a quick check of the existing wiring and find out if it is OK or not:

If you are getting a significant voltage drop with the current headlights (55/60 watt most likely), putting in a higher wattage bulb will not do a lot to help. And it is easy enough to upgrade that wiring:

I've run the Hella housings on my '85 for about 10 years now with a set of 55/100 H4 bulbs and the harness above. Makes a nice setup and I don't blind oncoming traffic.
