LandCruiser 200 Series Bi-LED Headlight Install Guide (2016–2022)
Fits the LandCruiser 200 Series facelift, 2016–2022 (GXL, VX, Sahara and Altitude; not GX). The grille comes off, the bumper eases forward, and the new headlights bolt to the same mounts and plug into the factory plugs. Allow about an hour, plus time to aim them.
Before you start. Engine off, key out, lights off. Disconnect the negative battery terminal (and any second battery).
Do one side at a time, so the other side shows you how it all goes back.
Tools
10 mm socket, extension and ratchet
Flat screwdriver and a plastic trim tool
Masking tape, marker and tape measure
T30 Torx bit
Install
1
Mark the beam height
1
Park on flat ground with the headlights 5 m from a flat wall (measure from the lens). Measure from the ground to the centre of each headlight and put a strip of tape on the wall at that height, in line with each light. You'll aim the new lights to these marks.
2
Remove the grille and ease the bumper forward
1
Open the bonnet. Remove the plastic cover along the top of the radiator support (about 7 push rivets: press the centre or lever the head up, then pull the rivet out).
2
Grille: undo the 3 fasteners along the top, then pull the grille forward to release its tabs. If there's a camera on the grille, unplug it before you pull the grille clear.
3
Bumper corner: undo the Torx screws and clips holding the inner guard liner to the bumper at the front of the wheel arch, then ease the bumper cover forward a little. You only need enough room to reach the lower headlight bolts; if you can't reach them, take the bumper cover right off. If you have headlight washers, clamp or plug their hoses before you disconnect them, or the washer bottle will drain.
3
Remove the factory headlights
1
Undo the 4 bolts holding the headlight: 2 along the top and 2 lower down, behind the bumper cover.
2
Ease the headlight forward and unplug every plug behind it (press each tab).
4
Connect the new headlight
1
Plug your factory headlight plugs into the new headlight. Each plug only fits one way; push them in until they click. The DRLs run through the factory plugs.
2
VX & SaharaThese headlights adjust by hand, so the factory auto-levelling isn't used. Tape up any factory plug that has nowhere to go so it stays dry, and cable tie it out of the way.
5
Test, then bolt in
1
Reconnect the battery. Check low beam, high beam, park lights, both indicators and the hazards. The indicators should flash at the normal speed.
2
Check the DRLs come on.
3
Battery off again. Bolt the headlight in with its 4 bolts. Cable tie any loose wiring away from the radiator, fan and anything hot or moving.
4
Do the other side the same way. Refit the bumper corner screws, the grille (plug the camera back in if fitted) and the top cover, then reconnect the battery.
6
Aim the headlights
1
Park in the same spot you marked the wall from. Tyres at normal pressure, nothing heavy in the tray or back.
2
Low beams on. Hold a piece of cardboard in front of one headlight while you aim the other.
3
Set the top edge of the low beam (the cut-off) 7.5 to 10 cm below your tape mark, pointing straight ahead. Use the adjuster screws on the headlight. Set them once; there's no self-levelling afterwards.
4
Check both at night on a quiet road. Oncoming drivers shouldn't flash you.
Troubleshooting
One headlight doesn't work
Check every plug is fully clicked in at the headlight, and the harness is pushed fully home.
Dash warning light
Check every plug is fully home. If a warning stays on, message us with a photo of the dash and your grade.
Light fogs up inside
A little condensation after a cold night is normal and clears once the lights have run. If it doesn't clear, or there's water inside, message us.
Beam looks too high or too low
Re-aim it with the vehicle level and unloaded.
Rules for aftermarket headlights vary by state. Check yours before fitting to a registered vehicle.
