  • Upgrading ARB bar lights to LED

    I got sick of the bulbs failing and then the PITA to get the bash plate off and the light out etc. so I upgraded to LED.

    I bought these http://www.eziautoparts.com.au/led-175- ... -x-24.html

    And fitted them today. The hardest part is removing the bashplates. They fit straight into the slot for the OE light.

          wicked.

          can i ask what brand and where you got the LED lights from?

          i hunted around a year or so ago, but i couldn't find any that would fit straight in. i opted for the LED globes instead, but the amount of off road eats the globes and corrodes the sockets. the LED ones look like thay are all sealed.

          cheers

              I did a check around and the link in the first post is the cheapest I could find anywhere. Some wholesalers were coming in at $75 for the same item!!!!

              They are made by LED autolights.

              Just ordered mine under $100 inc postage.

                sorry, i should open my eyes a bit better when i read.

                i have the new generation ARB bar on my prado (2008), and the for light surrounds are a moulded plastic with small securing clips around the outside. it no longer has the metal clamp bracket with the 3 bolts/nuts as they always came loose and fell out.

                i have the PDF instructions for the new fog light surrounds if anyone would like a look. i'm having difficulties posting it up though, any suggestions?

                i'm not sure these will work in my bar/fog light surround, as the way my indicators mount, the screws go through into the plastic surround from the rear.

                  Yes that could be a problem. As you can see in the pics you screw the black base into the frame and then push the LED part on the black frame.

                              Interesting, my bar is only a couple of months old. I just assumed i didn't have the metal brackets as in the original post because i don't have the fog lights.
                              The indicator lights on mine just screw into the back of the plastic shroud.

                              Cheers Andrew
