Not Your Mother’s Headlights

June 16th, 2008 · 8 Comments · How To Info, off road adventure accessories


Freud can take that headline for what it is worth… But when we started planning for the Baja we know we would need some serious lighting if we were going to explore the desert at night. Not wanting to take any chances we looked at a lot of manufactures’ lighting systems. After months of painstaking analysis and research, reading through magazines (looking at pictures), going through forums, stopping at 4×4 shops and talking to anyone who would listen, we decided to go with Baja Designs’ Soltek setup.

We choose these lights for their crystal clear optics, high quality electronic components, no-tool adjustments and a mounting system that isolates vibration. They also weep testosterone on the pages of Hula Betty’s magazine.

Need more information… In order to make it easier on our readers, we have put together a PDF article on the selection and installation in the Hula Betty, along with a short video of the process.

Even more information… Must read, step by step Toyota Bulletins:
Auxiliary Light Installation
Roof Top Light Installation

FJ Cruiser Electrical System
Gobi Roof Light Installation

Another little tidbit that is handy to refer to is a relay diagram when you’re trying to remember all the different wires going from here to there. This is a nice reference:
