Why did Suzuki do this?
These Jimny's have glorious white LED headlights, and then cheap yellow halogen day running lights. Whyyyyyy????
So I have a solution. Well, I have two options.
Neither option is to replace the factory halogen bulb with an LED bulb, as this is not legal here in New Zealand. Replacing the entire housing with NZ compliant LED driving lights is the only solution.
LED Bulbs to replace the yellow Halogen Lights
This is an option that will work, but won't pass a WOF. The Stedi LED bulbs that we sell are producing 207% more light than the original halogen lights, and the halogen housings are not designed for this amount of light. This is not a great solution.
Universal LED Day Running Lights
Option one, is to replace with a replacement LED driving light. These plug right in, mount to the original mounts and are easy to install. These are a top quality Stedi product which will operate just the same as the original lights, but with a nice white light that looks a lot more modern.
Integrated BOOST LED Day Running Lights
Option 2 is cool. These are DRL lights, that also light up bright on high beam. Whether this is a function you need or not, (you can be the judge of that) it's an option.

INSTALLING THESE REPLACEMENT LIGHTS
Fitting the lights is pretty straight forward. You just need to undo 3-4 clips that hold the inner guard in, and you have full access to the back of the lights. Then you undo the 4 mounting screws, put the new one in there, plug it in, and screw everything back together.
If you're fitting the second option, the Integrated Boost lights, you'll also need a headlight piggyback and a run a smart harness to trigger the high beam.
