Honestly the best lighting upgrade I did was replacing the crappy reverse lights with a brighter led one. Made such a big difference!
So so true! Makes a huge difference being able to see what’s behind you 👍
Thanks for the videos! Def looking towards a new headlight setup. Liked and subscribed.

Thank you so much for all the bulb sizes!! I’ve been watching your channel since before I even had an FJ. Your videos are so helpful 🙏🏼
Your a legend man, love how you get into the nitty gritty. The fj certainly has a niche following and this channel will be the fj wikipedia someday
The biggest issue I have with my FJ are the mirrors in the winter. Does anyone know of an after market heated mirror replacement?
Don't own an FJ but been binge watching your channel and it's one of my favorite channels to watch when I'm bored! My Dad had a 2009 sandstorm fj with the roof rack, dashboard gauges, sidesteps, bilstein shocks, and it had the 16 inch 5 spoke aluminum oem wheels
That’s awesome! Maybe you can convince him to get some sweet new LED lights after watching this video 😎
Lol. This guy convinced me to buy one.
Learning a lot from your videos an getting my first FJ in a month!
I’ve been waiting for a video like this, considering some new lighting upgrades. Thank you so much aidan!
You’re welcome! Glad I could help you out 😁
Very helpful video! All those bulbs model # are crazy complicated to me. Now I have an one stop shop to reference when needed!
Thanks so much! Yeah it took a bit or research to figure it all out, especially the bulbs from other markets haha
Thanks for another great vid! It's time for me to replace my lights and I'm trying to figure out what to go with.
I put the Sylvania ZXE on a few years ago, 3 minute swap out highly recommend this headlight bulb replacement
Thanks for sharing! Glad you’ve enjoyed those upgraded headlights!
Another get video mate, thanks for taking the time to put all this info together. Cheers Richard from Australia.
Thanks so much!
I’ve replaced all exterior lights with leds and it makes a world of difference. Mirror lights with amber bulbs are great. I started with led headlights and wasn’t happy with the stock housing light distribution so I replaced the housing with halo projector lights and really makes it unique. I’ve also added roof light bar, fog lights and grill lights with strobe capable in amber. Replacing the reverse back up and tail lights really helped as well. Hope dental school isn’t keeping you too busy so you can still get the FJ out for a little fun. I just finished 48 years of practice myself.
Sounds like an awesome setup! Thanks for sharing your experience, and how neat that your also a dentist! Thanks!
Excellent Video!
Thank you!
#1 FJ content creator. Every time you post in the Facebook groups I get giddy. :P
Glad you enjoy and appreciate the content! Thanks for your support 😁
I have the ARB deluxe wench bumper. The fog light suc. So straight to aftermarket. FJ Cruiser forever. Cruise on folks.
Still waiting to see the video about the wheels without the spacers on pizza cutters 🤙🏻
I just bought a used 2007 FJ with 171k miles woohoo!
I believe that it’s a bit of an exaggeration to say the headlights of the FJ are inadequate. I often drive by night on mountain roads, sometimes with inclement weather and never had the sensation they weren’t good enough. However thank you so much, one of my brake bulbs burned out and I struggled to find a comprehensive list of bulbs to use as replacements. I agree that better reverse lights would be desirable, so I’ll probably swap those too. I will surely swap the interior dome and cargo lights that have burned long ago.
good show bro.
Thanks so much!
Just wondering about headlight lens replacement? What would you recommend?
Great Video…as usual!
I have:
Diode Dynamic:
Light bar
Mirror Lights
All Interior lights
Break lights
Fog Lamps on Road Armor FJ801B front bumper
Hikari VisionPlus 9007/HB5 LED Bulbs,15000LM Dual Beam
Rear Led 3.0 in Spots from Harbor Freight. (Awesome Reviews)
Nilight 9inch 2pcs 96w Black Round Spot (ARB knockoff~not $650 each) So close I think they may have gotten in trouble for a near exact copy.
That's a sweet setup! Thanks for sharing! I'm, sure it lights up the night!
I want to install the roof dam lights but I cannot find the 6 pin harness that connect with the factory connector in the A-pillar… need help
Any idea which taillights are on the red FJ at 12:37?
Wished you warned your audience about the legalities of the customizing headlights. So hopefully there's a disclaimer on part 2 about checking the their local laws....
Was just looking into this for mine. How timely of you lol
Glad I could help!
Can someone make a video on how to wire the Valkerie 3rd brake light
My FJ made it on the video 👍 11:34

Tip, dont put blue LED's. the PO PO really didnt like the blue lololol
True haha they don't appreciate red or blue lights, even if they are Christmas lights haha
Back up lights really suck
