PJJ Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) Hi All Some kind sole has broken one of my Jap spec facelift headlights. I'm thinking of replacing both but with UK spec glass ones to save having one new and the other side old. Can anyone advise if the wiring and bulbs will fit the glass ones, or do I need to change the bulbs and / or wiring? Regards Paul.

Sheefa Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Bulbs are different, but the good news is with UK Glass ones you can fit both 9005 and 9006.

Does anyone have a UK spec facelift VIN and/or reg number i can use for ordering parts please? Toyota say they can only quote from using the right VIN.

Mk4Gaz Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 To my knowledge, there is no UK spec facelift. All glass headlights are pre facelift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJJ Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Sheefa, just a thought do the glass headlights have the side lights in headlights? If so what do you do with them as mine is facelift so mine are seperate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Sheefa, just a thought do the glass headlights have the side lights in headlights?

Sheefa Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Yes they do mate. You just have to modify the existing wiring and run your Facelift sidelight connection into main loom from memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Sorry misread that I thought you WANT to use the sidelights built in to main glass lights hence the need to modify loom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to keep my sidelight where it is really. But wondered what most do with the sidelight in the glass ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realize sidelight was a bulb holder. Are these readily available do you know? Guess i could gosh tape it temporarily until i got them. I assume though that i dont need holders for other bulbs that my high beam and fog bulbs slot straight in and just need a uk dipped beam bulb (9006 i assume)?

You may be able to order them through megazip or amayama, or find someone breaking a pre facelift car, who will sell them to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
