Lockdown Upgrades

While the country was in lockdown, I took the time to make some upgrades to my mwb landcruiser.

It's been a while since I’ve spent much time on the ol’ Cruiser, but the odd job has kept me interested in it. Something that was obvious on the last night run I did in it was that lighting technology has come a long way in recent years. Someone had done an H4 upgrade to the car before I bought it and I’d upgraded the globes in them, but one of them popped while out on a trip.

The Hella HID driving lights I fitted many years ago might have been the duck’s guts in lighting back in their day, but they were outshone on this trip by the smaller, more modern LED lights on other vehicles in the convoy. So a lighting upgrade was called for and we spoke to our mates at Narva for a solution.

I had a set of seven-inch LED replacement lights ready to fit, but Narva’s Jake Smith insisted I try out the company’s latest versions. These are a direct bolt-in replacement light for any vehicle that uses a seven-inch round lamp and they have a H4-style connector so they should plug straight in to your existing wiring harness. They include LED lamps for both high and low beam, plus a row across the middle that serves as a daytime running light or parker light.
