PSA: Great deal on 7" H4 headlights (~$20 for a pair) - Not me selling

[Slonie]

This has been bouncing around the forums from GRM to the 2002 folks to GarageJournal, but I thought there may be some interest here too. Toyota will apparently sell you a pair of made-in-Japan Koito 7" round H4 housings with bulbs, relays, and wiring for ~$20 right now as long as you know the part number. The price will differ depending on which dealership or parts distributor you look at but my local one is only $18. 

 

The Toyota part number is:

81110-60P70

 

I got the information from here: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/7-glass-headlight-6024-retrofit-h4-conversion-kit.530468/

Apparently Toyota never sold H4 housings before, only sealed beams, and production constraints have kept them from being able to supply the old part number and they're shipping these instead.  I've ordered a set from my local dealer, just to have a spare set... Hopefully it will actually come through!

 

Bonus: It comes with a letter of apology from Toyota!

 

Edit according to this comment from last month, we may be in for a wait, but I'll keep y'all posted: https://www.bmw2002faq.com/forums/topic/335352-koito-h4-kits-cheap/?do=findComment&comment=1661234

So, I can confirm this deal is real, not bad for $16! Also came with inline fuse holders and fuses, about 40 zipties, and dielectric grease. The relays are not made in Japan but they are Omrons.
