     Best Value in a Semi-Sealed Beam Halogen 7a Headlight
     -A  A  A  A Chuck Huber (Pantera Owneras Club of Arizona)
     I had been browsing the Interwebs in search of a good replacement
     for my stock 7a round Sylvania Silverstar headlights.A  Itas a long
     story, but as my headlights are only used at night, I didnat feel
     the need to go with one of the low-profile offerings because they
     require modifications to the headlight buckets.
     While researching similar lights for my 1974 Toyota Land Cruiser
     FJ-40, I came upon this aHeadlight Retrofit aKitaa, with a Toyota
     stock number.A  This kit is a 7a, Toyota OEM glass light housing
     with a Halogen H4 replaceable light element.A  Included in this kit
     are:

     Steve, for an easy and economical upgrade, try a Sylvania Silverstar
     or Ultra headlamp that will drop right into your factory housing.
     They are noticeably brighter.
     The modern upgrade is to LED which I did in my 2001 Superduty pickup
     recently. The difference was literally Night and Day.
     The best $50 I have ever spent on a vehicle upgrade.
     HIDs, and other lighting updates requiring relays are obsolete now.
