PIAA markets an FJC "kit" in response to demand for better lights than the Hella lights packaged in the Toyota OEM kit. The factory Hellas are the 500 series, a plastic housing, 55w standard H3 bulb light. The PIAA kit comes with mounting bracket to reinforce the stability of the lights when mounted to the stock bumper. The kit includes PIAA 520 lights, which are metal housings, leaded crystal / tempered lenses, extreme white bulbs that put out 110w equivilant in lumens while drawing only 55w each, and lens guards instead of covers.The housings are plastic and they only have the solid FJ covers over them. You would be much better off just buying Hella lights separately. I have no idea why some companies market an "FJ Cruiser" kit, I believe PIAA does this...a wire harness is a wire harness. You have some options to choose from, such as IPF, PIAA, Hella, and Lightforce.
For the sake of education, I would like to see......I'll be happy to show you the difference between PIAA harnesses and most others on the market (who have all improved due to the popularity of PIAA lights)...

While Hella, IPF, Lightforce, PIAA, and many others make fine lights, there are differences in quality, componentry, and function - and of course, price. As wih most things in life, you usually get what you pay for...:rocker:
