Townace headlights in BC

Post by notneils »

Hi.

Anybody know what headlights will both comply (in B.C.) AND fit in a Toyota Townace?

(I know this is a Delica forum, but i just have a feeling it's the right crowd to ask...)

You might have an answer from MardyDelica, just PM him... He's quite knowledgeable with JDM parts.

Good luck!

I believe the official answer on that one is "good luck!" I don't believe there is a drop in replacement available (or at least not that people seem to be able to find)
some people have had some luck retrofitting in sealed beam rectangular lights though I believe.

A better place to look for information might be on the Imported Vehicle Owners Association Canada website as I know that question has come up several times over there, and it isn't a Delica only group.

Short story is that the headlights are major pain in the arse for these which is why the import of TownAces has essentially decreased to nil. Too bad becasue they are damn cool vans.

You can try Toyota Van People Forum as they have a small townace crowd. Also try Japanoid.com they seem pretty adept at headlight conversions and might have already done one.
