Nic Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) 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? All UK headlights have glass lenses & chrome inners, the 93-96 j-spec headlights have plastic lenses & chrome inners, the 96+ j-spec headlights have plastics lenses & dark grey inners they also don't have the small sidelights inside - the side lights were moved into the indicator assembly. The Uk and j-spec headlight are all for right hand drive cars. The US supra headlights are the same as the j-spec but are left hand drive. The European Supra headlights are the same as the UK but left hand drive. All the headlights are interchangeable, the bulb specs of the J-spec headlight are slightly different to the rest but are basically plug and play otherwise.

If you have trouble getting the lugs on he bulb into the headlights unscrew the collar off the back of the headlight first (held on with 3 small screws), fit bulb then screw the collar back on.

Soopra Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Please confirm that these bulbs will fit. I know they're not road legal but I'm fed up of the candles on the front of my car http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270539631630?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz1 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Hey sorry to bump this thread I’m having the problem below on my thread, any idea where I could get a bulb without trimming that will fit like the old style HB3? http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?345200-Center-Fog-Lamp-Bulb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I double checked the diagram the 9006 HB4 is bigger than the 9006J that makes sense now, anyone know if you can purchase without trimming? Or any led kit?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binfieldx Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Pretty sure I use 9005 in my import if memory serves correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
