FJ Cruiser Headlight upgrade! -Quick Installation guide 

That’s awesome!! Glad I could help.

did you have any issues getting the lights from Freedom Outfitters or quality control issues when they arrived?

Sweet! I like both versions a lot.

Nice work on the thumbnail.😁

Thanks!

Haha I agree!

The nice part about these ones is they get bench tested before being sent out, and then have a warranty if there does happen to be any issues. The very simple wiring should help with reliability, as well.

Thanks!

There’s a grey plug under the drivers side headlight that you need to unplug. Once you do that, they’ll function like mine.👍🏼

Unfortunately, the bumper isn’t available anymore. The winch is just a Smittybuilt XRC 9.5k Gen 2 synthetic. I’m not a big fan of it, but it was the right price. Haha

Ah, that’s fair!

@@fj_matt amazing! Thank you so much!

That’s a tough one! Best bet is a DIY retrofit. My plan is to actually do a video on that in the near future. It’ll be a full walk through on how to do an FJ headlight.

For the headlights? If so, they’re full new assemblies with built in Bi-LED chips. 🤙🏼

I think they’ll tie together nicely, especially if you have a black grille..🤙🏼

@@fj_matt Have a black grill ready to install once I get all these lights in. Deleting all the silver trim bits for OEM black parts. Once it’s done it will be murdered out.

Awesome! I personally don’t really like the silver. Hahaha

@@fj_matt I really don’t either haha. Glad most of the silver bits are just clipped or bolted on. Still the prices Toyota charges for these black pieces are nuts.

That doesn't sound right at all... I got the "Spec D" ones, same exact lights, everything functions perfectly on my 2008 FJ. I have no idea how you could wire them wrong considering they are plug and play, did you double check the harnesses on the turn signals are not flipped backwards possibly?

Hey Josh, It really sounds like something has been wired backwards. I wonder if undoing your DRL plug would help anything or if it’s messed up in the headlight wiring itself.

I disconnected it! You still keep the halos as your DRL, so it keeps it legal.🤙🏼

It was made by a Canadian company for a short time. There’s something new coming to the market before the end of the year though!

Hey Sam, you caught me at a good time! Haha. So it sounds like you are already on the right track in terms of the differences. The stealth series uses a smoked lens that does steal a bit of output over the standard versionZ. I personally like that darker look, but if you want the max light output possible, I would definitely recommend the Bi-LED standard ones. As for how they look, turned on they’ll look very similar to the stealth series, it’s mostly when off that you’ll be able to see more clearly into the lights without that tinted lens.

@@fj_matt Thank you so much Matt for your prompt reply. Matt, did you have any issues with hyper flashing? Do I need to get the LED Flasher Relay? Love your work Cheers

I just saw this now. You shouldn’t need a flasher relay for those lights.🤙🏼

Yeah, I haven’t yet seen this stealth setup with the Bi-LED projectors sold elsewhere, but maybe they are now. The nice thing about getting them from Freedom Outfitters is the warranty that comes with them. That’s a good question, I have the DRL plug slightly undone so I can run the halo part independently.🤙🏼

@@fj_matt Yeah I dont know if they are exactly the same but they are Bi LED black housing with smoked lenses, I guess the halos could be a different color but I don't know, seems to be right on the money. Otherwise

@@fj_matt I got them and they are definitely the same lights. Bi LED, was a bit awkward to get them aimed and you can really see that sharp cutoff line. Pattern is a bit weird looking with some sharp bend angles but I do love them. Really changed the night driving game.

Not if you unplug the grey plug under the drivers side headlight. Than the DRL setting will just be the halos at all times.🤙🏼

Thanks for the hack. I did unplug the harness and the headlight does turn off, but the halos do not turn on until I turn on the side markers (first click on the switch). Is there another hack to make the halos turn on without having to turn the side markers on? Thanks @@fj_matt

Not that I know of unless you wired the halos completely separately or to a switch.

I’ve had absolutely no issues, and they’ve been down below -40. Cheers

The Stealth series still has a Bi-LED projector. The difference is that the facia around it is blacked out.

Mine are the stealth series. You should be able to select that in the options. If not, they might be out of stock.

Unfortunately it won’t work while there’s another sale going on. I believe that’s what is happening currently.

The ones I have are bi-led projectors. So there are no replaceable bulbs. The high beam works by flipping up a shield that creates the cutoff.

Just the signals light up.🤙🏼

@fj_matt these things are bright af holy shit. Also curious but are yours always on? And if not is there a mod to just have the DRL on?

The model I got have built in LED diodes, so there are no replaceable bulbs. There are other versions out there that take normal halogen or LED bulbs. They aren’t stock H4 bulbs though from what I know.

Here’s the link for the lights! FJMatt10 will take 10% off the whole website. They ship worldwide, so there shouldn’t be an issue.🤙🏼 www.freedomoutfittersus.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0BMQABpqIJfdKoOmumFeQGsEWuckwZkwr6Q_RpIY5C_nijCPqXkdfIPhpdddV3lg_aem_AZt12LXW8g0mP_sRRabFRXcfoIdVsSYS4zJMCt_4LQ5HfspDt8cdxfU9g-603Hii5JI

I don’t think they have the stealth version anymore, but the standard ones are very close and a bit brighter. Here’s a link to those.🤙🏼. www.freedomoutfittersus.com/product-page/fj-cruiser-dynamik-headlights

@fj_matt I kinda figured that & thanks,man.

I did!

Mine is a 2010, but they will fit any year. Cheers!

It’s a 2010.🤙🏼

@@fj_matt 🤙🏽

I know we can put some rack at the top but in europe there are alot of parking height restriction that having it on the car mean, we may not able to park inside garage.

That would be a fully custom job unfortunately. You could check with an upholstery shop to see if they could do it though.

@@fj_matt thanks. Ill try to find someone that could do it here in Italy

There’s a dynamik set for the rear. They might make a smoked one soon seeing that they did with the headlights!

Here’s the link to the rear ones I have.🤙🏼. FJMATT10 gets you 10% off if you want. www.freedomoutfittersus.com/product-page/fj-cruiser-dynamic-tail-light

Not quite sure what you mean by that, but the FJ is a 2010.

You are sure you put FJMATT10 exactly? If so, and it didn’t work, let me know and I’ll contact them about it.👍🏼

@@fj_matt Correct. "FJMATT10" doesn't work brotha

So I checked with them, and it’s still active. I gather it just doesn’t work during a sale period. 🤙🏼

Unfortunately, it was only made for a very short time. Ascend Fabrication is just releasing a good looking new bumper option, so I would recommend checking that out.👍🏼
