I'm curious if they're the same Koito lamp as what's in the toyota kit.

I know Dan changed lamps from when I installed them in my coronet to when i installed rhem in the barracuda. The first ones were made in Turkey, cant remember where the second set came from, but i know they were different! These were first set!

I used the Holley also. They are excellent with sharp cutoff. Highly recommended.
They don't look factory at all, but I love the 7" Truck Lites in my Valiant. I actually drive it enough after sunset and have been spoiled with modern LED headlights. They're DOT stamped and actually legit unlike the ebay/Amazon clones.
I think my Toyota parts guy had to remove the hyphen for it to come up on his computer. It had no description or breakdown of parts, just the number and a 28 buck price. I bought it anyway, and was a complete kit.

No, just NO!!! People need to stop installing bright white LED headlights in their cars. It's ******* dangerous for drivers on the other side of the road when the lights are too bright with the wrong color temperature. There are LED lights that are a safe color temperature and brightness, but most **** heads don't buy them and instead go for the Amazon specials.

Calm the hell down! Jeesus… these lights are designed to focus on just that issue. They arent just a damn bright light flooding the road in front of you like a light bar. Good lord dude. Educate yourself on some of these options before you drop your bomb! Also aiming is huge on these lights. A majority of the issues with in coming traffic getting blinded has to to with mis aimed lights!

It is not the output of the light that blinds you, It is the fact that they are not adjusted properly.
Adjust your headlamps properly to see better and not blind the other guys.

Also, mine were not purchases on amazon! I bought from Dans lighting ( slant six Dan) who has many years of experience on car headlights. He also gives tou a 4 page fully comprehensive instruction sheet on how to aim these lights. Most people probably throw this away and go with it, but it is fully recomended that you read and follow the instructions to optimize your headlights and not piss of the on coming traffic!!
It's also probably against the law in all 50 states. In Georgia, for instance, it is perfectly legal to upgrade one generation from your original headlight type. So if your car came with sealed beams, upgrading to an H4 conversion is legal, but to an LED conversion is not.

Dans headlight kits are an H4 conversion says on the box moparmark65 posted up. I got the same ones they're amazing.

Are you talking about these? I had actually considered them before, but balked at the cost of over $200 per light, which is more than most other options I had found (at least on the Holley website).

I had the same concern, but figured it was worth risking $15. I just picked mine up today from the local dealer, full kit.
If anyone wants to skip marked up prices on eBay, or shipping. I went to Genuine Toyota Parts and Accessories: Official Online Store | Autoparts.toyota.com and searched for a local dealer. Picked the one closest to me and ordered the PN mentioned above (81110-60P70).
Ordered on the 30th, picked up today, $15.02 total.

They're a little more now because the labor day sale is over. Mine priced out at $18.02. $19.46, tax included. They'll be in in a couple days.

It's just more problems on top of more problems, it's both. Some guy named Dan or whoever installs these goofy eyed too bright white blue LED Amazon specials on his minivan or whatever because people think it looks more modern, but it just blinds the other drivers. Some of these lights are so bright, high beams are never needed. It's at the point where I don't enjoy driving at night anymore, at first I thought it was my eyes, but I was not the only one that noticed this issue, the problem was the brighter whiter LED headlights which eye doctors and the media are even identifying as a problem.
That's so funny man. How about you ask the NHTSA and the Soft Lights Foundation if your LED "options" are even legal. I'll save you the effort, the answer is NO, unless the car came with LED headlights from the factory.
Pretty much.

My 65 Barracuda had a ground strap on radiator support when I got it. No idea if it was factory.

Did I miss the Tyoda part number earlier in the thread? & two on here have harnesses/ kits? Both crackedblock & slantsixdan?
Thanks.

I've never heard of anything like this, ever. That's nuts! I think Missouri says I can only have four white lights on the front of my car, or something like that, but generational changes? Crazy.
I tried that, and my local dealer marked them up to like $80. The place I ordered from that backordered them just released them so we'll see!

I wasn't talking about the headlights Moparmark has. I was talking about LED headlights. I'm just stating facts, don't turn what I say into something else.

That seems to happen too much on here, sometimes. Others points of view doesn't matter to some.
