Alright, Ive got a 97 and am looking to do something different with the headlights. I hear about people putting some hella driving lights, but im not sure what yall are talking about. Are these same shape just made by hella or what? Im thinkin I want to somehow do a round head light but don't know where to start. It seems like Ive seen someone with them before on a 97. Let me know.
thanks, jd

Hella Driving Lights have nothing to do with your headlights, they're auxillary lights, like the ones on my front bumper on my site.

Ok, thanks for that info. Im not experienced with lights AT ALL. But that doesn't answer my question if anybody has any ideas for any alternatives for a 97

Sorry for not answering your question(s).

 

[fourstringfletch]

what's wrong with your stock ones? my 99 throws out the light quite nicely and with some better bulbs they do the trick.

 

[mr4x403]

i have some new bulbs that are 80 watt low beams and 100 watt high beams. they really do the trick. i like them alot.

You should have sealed beam headlights... if you do Hella makes a 200mm replacement for the stock sealed ones, get the "offroad" version its a seperate part # in the catalog.

Yes, definately go for the "euro" versions. I replaced the stock sealed beam headlights in my landcruiser with these. The headlights are brighter on that than my 05 tacoma.

Hella makes some conversions for the sealed beam lights that came stock. They are made of glass and take a standard H4 bulb that loads from the back. Much easier to replace than dealing with the grill everytime. There are a couple of other brands too but I have the Hellas and like them.

Here are the Hella Conversions at Performance Products:

[TacoCrazy]

I have the Hella H-4 conversion lamps and I couldn't be happier..Soooo much better that the stock sealed beams..

 

[Dick Foster]

FYI Performance Products usually has the highest prices around. It pays to shop around. I think 4 Wheel fucksticks carry them too.

I have the Hella "Euro" H4 kits #72206 in my 96 which are just drop in replacments, but now a can just change the bulb (I use 55/100) that way I don't bind anyone. I wish I would have made the change years ago, as it was one of the best things I have done.
I bought just bought a replacement (one got hit with a rock) at the local 4 wheel store in Richmond VA for $49.00 including a Hella 55/60W bulb.

 

[jdiesel]

Thanks for all of the info. I like the idea of the hellas. Does anybody have a picture of theirs on the 95-97's?? Might be a stupid questions, but are these replacements still square?? I saw somebody that had some round ones. It doesn't matter to me, although the round ones looked pretty cool. Anyways, pics please!!
thanks guys
and thanks for the support mr. moderator

I have a 96 tacoma with sealed beam lights i just replaced mine with Wagner True view sealed lights and they are a major increase in brightness from the stockers.

I got some replacment light housings off of Ebay that use the H-4 bulb. They work great and I only paid 20 bucks.

Whats the difference between 72206 and 72207 ? One is off road version and one is not?

I believe the 72207 is non offroad and 72206 is offroad.

Whats the difference between the off road version and the non off road version?

Thanks...
