Headlight interchangeability
Quick question:

Does anyone know if the sealed beam units on AW11's and AE86 Trueno's are interchangeable? I suspect all those popup headlight 80's toyota's have the same unit, but Toyota saw it fit to provide them all with different part nr's (minor difference, only the last 2 nr's).
I want to get the Trueno MOT'd again ASAP, and it is currently running some jackass JDM tite-yo clear units that blind oncoming traffic. AW11 unit's are easier to source around here.

The headlights from the AW11, SW20 and AE86 Trueno are all the same from my knowledge. Even the 200SX shares the same mounting points (but the lenses are shaped differently to the Toyota ones so they stick out more).

Also the Triumph Acclaim of 80s vintage has the same headlight. Not sure if that's any use to you.

Thanks.. I noticed the odd glass shape on the 200sx ones already, hence the question. 70 euro's aint much, but it's not cheap either. So I'd like to make sure the aw11 stuff will work.

I bought mine at japoto for 50 euros (so 25 a piece). They told me the square headlights are pretty standard, I think even mazda uses the same ones. Although I'm not sure if my memory is just making this up. Anyway you should give them a call if you're having trouble finding some.

Oh and the ones I got were new. It's mainly a scrapyard but they get new stuff as well.

As I recall they also fit from at Lite Ace or something... I couldn't find the thread on C4AG, though.

Sarcasme is just one of the things I offer Wink

I bought a set of second hand Celica T160 at the junkyard back in a day for 20 euros. They should fit as well.
