OEM Surf Headlights on ebay

Register to hide this ad
AS cool as it sounds, be aware that the SURF is Japanese Market spec, which means the headlights are different from US 4Runners. Ever notice the headlight cut-off when you are up against, say, a garage door? Notice the straight line as you go left to right, then a slight incline? For Japanese lights, it's the opposite. More light is aimed toward on-coming traffic (in Japan, they drive on the left side, not right).

US spec headlights look similar to this:

Food for thought..............
 
588+130 shipping for basically the same as OEM BLHM?? :noidea: seems like a waste of coin to me..

Bragging rights??? :shrug:

(so you can say you have OEM surf parts?). Lights are cool, but at that price, I'd pass (functionally speaking, they are sort-of worthless).

Then again, I shouldn't talk: I have OEM Toyota HiLux Surf (I had them sent in from Japan) window visors. Costs something like $350. I can't remember exactly. To my defense: after being on for nearly 3 years, they are still impeccable (no scratches) and are still clear (no fade). No leaks either. On my Honda Civic, the visors I installed about 1 1/2 years ago completely look like ass (faded/cracking/leak). Those were something like $40. You get what ya pay for I guess.
 
That cutoff is from a projector. The eBay headlights are reflectors. LHD / RHD are the same....buckaroo. :cowboy:

Physically yes, functionally, No. They are not. But whatever floats your boat. I lived overseas for about 10 years with RHD vehicles (my Surfs, HiLux truck and other Toyota cars which came from Japan).

Also, you are correct: Cut offs on the picture most likely are from projectors, but reflector cut offs are similar looking, if not more "blurry". So the picture is valid.

:hatsoff:
