Pete Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) Information kindly from Nic: The correct bulbs for the J-spec plastic headlights (early and late model) are: Low = 9006J High = 9005J The J variant of the bulbs are a different fit to the standard 9006/HB4 and 9005/HB3 bulbs. The 9005/HB3 bulbs will fit in place of the 9005J, but the 9006/HB4 bulb will not fit in the low beam (the diameter of the body of the bulb is too big). As an alternative you can use a 9005/HB3 bulbs in the low beam as well (note you will need to trim a rib on the connection with the harness so that they will fit, very easy to do), ie Low = 9005HB3 High = 9005/HB3 Here are pics of each bulb to illustrate the differences, note the difference in the diameter of the 9006J (20mm) and 9006/HB4 (22mm) body; this is what causes the fitment problems. Note: the UK spec glass headlights do not have this problem, they are designed to fit Low 9006/HB4 and High 9005/HB3 Edited April 17, 2017 by Pete Fix images (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burble Burble Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 That's handy, i've just got a pair of uk spec glass headlights - no bulbs - what's the spec for HiD bulbs? As white and bright as possible. (Hope you don't mind me asking on your thread, if it's a no-go wipe me off moderators). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Bulb colour is rated using the Kelvin scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 So for Jspec... 9005 in low and high beam. Anymore info as to what part you actually trim? any pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 So for Jspec... 9005 in low and high beam. Anymore info as to what part you actually trim? any pics? It's a small rib inside the plug where the bulb connects to the wiring loom, it'll be obvious when you try to connect the bulb and loom.

Jellybean Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Will using the 9005/HB3 cause seal issues, condensation in the Lenses of JSPEC lights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray007 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 hi guys. where can i buy bulbs for the j-spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 hi guys. where can i buy bulbs for the j-spec I think a bulb shop is the place. Failing that, do you know Halfords? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Why do people have to be such smart arses, The Low = 9006J; High = 9005J for JSpec are not available in EU as far as I know I just bough the HB4 Osram Cool Blue Bulbs, have not tried to fit them yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, I think you'll need 2 sets of HB3 if yours is a J-spec http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/hb3-9005-bulbs/ Edited December 11, 2009 by Lbm (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Btw, I think you'll need 2 sets of HB3 if yours is a J-spec Correct ray007 for reasons explained on first post, use 9005/HB3 in both the high and low beams, these should be available from any general motor parts shop, eg. Halfords Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray007 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 cheers guys, its just that i bought a pair of bulbs which were actually for the uk spec, didnt fit so im having probs finding the correct j-spec ones.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 UK spec differs between hi-lo beam. Jspec Hi Lo is the same. You need different lamps for fogs only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuldhat Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 What about US spec facelift headlights? I think my local dealer bought J-spec for my supra after i wanted to replace one headlight after some stonechip damage. I live in sweden, and there need US spec facelift headlights. Could someone maybe post the toyota ordernr for this item? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 the JSpec lights have HB3 for headlight and HB3 for dipped beam, and H3 for fog lights. i have the email address for the supplier for the groupbuy on here, he sells all the kits for 50gbp posted and a 1yr warrenty on all parts full replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DAS Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Thanks so much for this. I just need to know where to buy the 2006J spec. I bought HB3 9005 and trimmed down and that fits fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaLKeRR Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 So are people snipping the bulb rib or the harness its self rib, because i can see inside there is 2 nubbins where as the old bulb only had one hence why it needs snipping some off but which side bulb or harnes?

Guest suprabad82 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 are the UK spec and the N/A spefc headlights assemblies the same? and also if i went from a jspec to a UK spec assembly would it just be plug and play or would i have to do some mods?
