Chandelier — logbook Toyota Hilux Surf 1994

Several times I was asked about the chandelier, both on the page and in PM. Well, if necessary, then I will do no more review of the chandelier.

If you look purely from the aesthetic side, then the chandelier looks at the top five. No pipes, rather low, plastic at the place where the chandelier is attached, as a result, a good appearance. But how does this miracle shine? And it really shines very well, even when there were 4 halogen lamps, there was enough light as a worker. Now there are 2 xenon and 2 halogen lamps, the light is just the sea. But there is one BUT. This is a strong illumination of the hood. Personally, it does not bother me, especially after installing xenon.
Unfortunately, the fotik normally cannot convey how the chandelier shines. I came out either very light or dark as in this photo.

The lights are completely off in the garage.

There is a lot of space inside the plastic. Without any problems, 2 ignition blocks with wiring fit in and there is still room, I think delivering 2 more blocks will not be a problem.

In my case, they are fixed on 2-sided 3M tape and ties. When I fixed one of the blocks, I split the plastic a little. At the edges, it is rather fragile, but "in the frontal" withstood blows from fairly large branches.

The most clumsy thing about a chandelier is the setting of the light. It's just something. Since the headlights themselves are fastened with 2 bolts through the holes in the headlight and plastic, then you can adjust it only by changing the position of the bolts. Of course, the previous owner turned on the headlights without adjusting (as a result, the left one shone to the right of the car, the right one, on the contrary, to the left and the two middle ones up). Well, what did I have to fix it, at the same time I made cuts to accommodate xenon lamps with wiring.
This is how it stays on the plastic base

Making light adjustments

The headlights themselves do not have any direction, and you can put the light bulb there as you like, just like twisting the reflective element itself. Light spot in the form of a regular circle. To open the headlight itself, it is enough to remove the rubber seal and the insides of the headlight in front of us with your hands. Replacing the lamp (halogen) also occurs without removing the headlight from the chandelier. Is that to collect in place a little inconvenient.

The chandelier itself is stupidly riveted through the roof, this is the biggest minus. Now, in order to remove the chandelier, you will have to close up holes on the roof. I think this is the only possible option, because. The tape will most likely come off. The power wire goes through a rubber seal, into the cabin and there is a toggle switch in the cabin. Where the food comes from, I did not look.

Thank you for reading the review and now the most important info. You can’t put a chandelier on a car without a sunroof, you can put it more precisely, but it will be problematic to adjust the light or remove the headlight. The price for this device in Smolensk is 2000-2300 rubles. If you are interested please ask. I'll add more photos later.
Well, a few photos.
The full winter has finally arrived.

And of course, the arrival of winter did not prevent me from safely izvazyukatsya. I found where it was possible to fall through the ice, the loss of the surf - 2 mudguards (then they were caught and lifted from the bottom), an unnecessary bumper part (installed in place and the bumper was removed to install the elevator and winch) and the rear axle shank oil seal (freshly filled oil Motul runs in a stream :((. By the way, the surf, as usual, got out on his own without outside help.

I will add a couple of pictures of how it shines (summer 2011)
