Hilux headlight upgrade

[Frankenyota]

Looking to upgrade from the standard sealed beam candles.
Was going to upgrade the wiring harness for the headlights first.
Then either fit some narva semi sealed H4 lights or try some crystal headlights.

Just wondering which is the best way to go

Most of the crystal lights ive seen have been cheap and nasty. Are they even ADR approved?

Go for a high quality conventional insert. Don't skimp on the globes, either!

I have just done this upgrade. Cost 180 from auto one. New casing and h4 globes. Didn't change any wiring took about 45 mins and they make the old ones look like crap.

A 2dollar torch from the Reject Shop would make the stock Lux headlights look like crap.

Let me know what you do to improve them mate.

Hey no rush lux which headlights did you upgrade too?
I will price some narva and hella replacements.
There is a company called round eyes which looks good but there in the states.

plus this

So for about 70 dollars you have both sides done short of upgraded loom. Halogen would be even cheaper.

got a crystal set in my hilux. put H4 artic blue globes in. did 1 side then compared. HOLY FARK was there a massive difference. should of got photos. Also Love The Fact That They Are Plastic Cover Not Glass Wont SHatter. M8s Have Got Them And Put HID Conversion Kits In Them. Didnt Upgrade Wiring On Mine Still Works A Treat

[DUDELUX]

Get some pics up of it, and Ill put up some of my crappy headlights, then we can compare.

Also, how much did you spend on yours??

Have you tried either of these?
Headlights look the same as the cars r us lights.

My headlights were $55 each and I payed $32 for arctic blue globes and that included blue park globes. Will get a photo when i get the car going. Or at lease plug battery in. The lights look the same as the crystal 1s in the photo. Bought them from a local parts supplier. My mates HID kit cost him $150 and that's bright as but don't think it's legal but never had any issues

No I haven't but an upgrade is on the cards and will probably go with something along those lines. I'd probably go ebay over cars r us just for ease of transaction but they do look pretty much the same. If you get them post up your results.
