1980 Toyota Hilux, light replacement, help

[Wolf]

Hey guys, so my Hilux lamps are buggered and I can not take out the bulb as it's a one sealed unit, this is unfortunate as I need them for W.O.F obviously. So, I'm looking for a replacement they're a 7" in size with a 3 prong connection. If someone could guide me to somewhere to get replacement's (I am looking for ones that can be taken apart this time).

I have found these on Ebay, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Freightliner-Ce ... JA&vxp=mtr they're the same size and I like the old amber style colour with the LED's. Not 100% if they'll fit. I'm based in Christchurch if that's any help.

Thanks all.

You can get semi sealed from places like repco bnt supercheap or even trademe just ring them all for price and in stock first shouldn't be to expensive it's a common size
Shipping on those ebay ones is a deal breaker

Trademe

last set of semi sealed I brought from BNT were about 15 or 20 bucks each

Semi sealed lights are common and cheap. Dont buy the American lights as they dip to the wrong side and are non compliant here.

Can buy leds that will fit - fully sealed so mud can't get in and stuff reflectors, very robust, light is better and you will never need to replace the bulbs on them. I had a set on my old truck that i got from TWL, they weren't cheap but were good.

Thanks all. Couldn't find any on trademe probably the way I searched it, dunno. I'm not too keen on the LED lights as you need to get an adapter for them and I want to keep the older style. I'll have a look around SuperCheap, Repco to see if they have any. I do like the old housing with bulb and Amber LED however as it gives a nice glow to it.

Cheers.

Edit: I have found some on trademe but will still consider other options to look around.

I've bought the fully sealed units from Repco for $30 before, exactly the same as the original ones. The light output is pretty average though, but what do expect from cheap ones!

Not to worried about light as I have a 42" light bar. Not wanting a fully sealed unit either.

You don't need an adapter for the trucklite led units, they fit in the standard mount. Also the dip beam is much much better, it is pretty antisocial to be using your light bar in traffic
They aren't cheap though, $600ish from TWL.

I got some sealed halogen 75/100 lights from Tardme about 1 yr ago, work great and I don't end up with tadploes swimming in the lens after river crossings
Cant find them on there now though

Haha I wouldn't use the lightbar on the road it'll do some damage.

Hmm, doesn't mention Toyota Hilux for the designed for.. I have found what I'm looking for, just not 100% if they'll work.

The best value 7" round lights I had on my old Suzuki were some 70/55W sealed beam ones. Good light & lasted for ages. Wagner 7012 I think, cheap from Repco - was a while back so dunno if they still have them.

Semi sealed units with high watt bulbs give great light but blow heaps, especially when you get water in them, plus the reflector gets dirty eventually too..

Thank you, I don't mind having to clean and fix stuff. All part off it and prefer to be able to do it on the track rather than limping to get a whole new light. Thank you for your insight,much appreciated.
