Koito H4 Headlight Housings

[26th-Z]

The headlight kit arrived in the noon mail today.  Very nice.  Came with instructions.

I ordered one too.

Price update: I just picked up a set from my local Toyota dealer for $17.34. $35.44 after shipping and tax.

What part number did you order? I'd like to pass the savings along to others.

I added that to my list. It's interesting that the part number comes up as the number for the kit with relays, too.

Yeah, that’s why I DMed you about it. Using the Toyota description to decipher what you get with that part number is confusing. I got that number when trying to get just the housing, and I think the price is supposed to be for just that, but then I got the whole kit, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

What else is interesting is how much other places want. JDM Car Parts has single housings for $189, plus they’re probably RHD and would blind oncoming traffic if they’re actually JDM.

I did notice that one site said the part was discontinued. I hope that isn't the case.

[Matthew Abate]

If it is they have a surplus. It was three days from ordering to parts in hand.

I put in my old Hella H4's (from the X1/9) with the LED bulbs Steve recommended. One of them has water damage, so I ordered the Kioto H4 housings while they are still available, at such a good price.

housings came out smoothly, no snapped or stripped hardware. I didn't order new gaskets, so I cleaned & lubricated them for reinstall

Thanks Steve - I actually need it for the drive to work 🙂 - I teach high school, so I'm out the door by 6am.
