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.
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....
I always wondered, could you replace your mirror light with marker lights with just a bit of modification, I don't like the look of traditional markers over the hood and this would solve that but I haven't seen anyone do it yet.
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.
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
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.
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 👍
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 😁

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.

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 🙏🏼
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

Glad I could help!
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.

My FJ made it on the video 👍 11:34
Thanks for sharing your photos!
Excellent Video!
Thank you!
good show bro.
Thanks so much!
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?
