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.

FJ-40, I came upon this aHeadlight Retrofit aKitaa, with a Toyota

with a Halogen H4 replaceable light element.A Included in this kit

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.
