STEDI Toyota 120 Prado LED Upgrade Guide
Patrick Allen
The Toyota LandCruiser 120 Series Prado remains a popular platform for touring and 4WD builds, and a few carefully chosen lighting and accessory upgrades can improve both visibility and everyday usability. STEDI offers several products suited to compatible 120 Series Prado models, including LED headlight upgrades, replacement licence plate lights and OEM-style push button switches.
120 SERIES PRADO | LED HEADLIGHT UPGRADE
The factory halogen headlights fitted to many 120 Series Prado models can feel underpowered compared with modern LED lighting, particularly when driving at night or away from well-lit urban roads.
For Prado 120 models fitted with H4 reflector-style headlights, STEDI's H4 Copper Head LED kit provides a straightforward plug-and-play upgrade from the original halogen globes. The Copper Head design uses Philips ZES LEDs and passive copper heat-dissipation belts, eliminating the need for an electric cooling fan.
The kit is designed to provide increased brightness and a sharper beam pattern while retaining the factory-style headlight arrangement. STEDI also designed the Copper Head range to work with reflector housings and, where space allows, retain the original dust caps.
During installation, STEDI recommends separating and spreading the copper cooling belts to maximise their surface area. This assists with heat dissipation and helps the LED globes operate as intended.
Important: Headlight configurations can vary between 120 Series Prado models and markets. Some vehicles use H4 dual-filament globes, while others may use separate high- and low-beam globes. Check the existing bulb, headlight housing or vehicle specifications before ordering an H4 conversion kit.

LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS
STEDI also offers a complete LED licence plate light assembly for compatible Toyota LandCruiser 120 Series Prado models. Rather than replacing only the globe inside the original housing, the complete factory light assembly is replaced.
The vehicle-specific design provides a neat plug-and-play upgrade and delivers a brighter, more uniform LED light around the rear number plate. The additional illumination can also improve visibility around the rear of the vehicle in low-light conditions.
Because the complete assembly is replaced, installation is designed to be straightforward without requiring modification to the factory light housing.

TALL TYPE PUSH BUTTON SWITCHES
The 120 Series Prado provides several factory switch blanks that can be used when adding accessories to the vehicle. These include positions around the driver's-side switch panel as well as additional blanks in the centre console area.
STEDI's Tall Type Toyota Push Button Switches are designed to fit compatible factory switch openings in the Prado 120 Series, helping aftermarket accessories retain a clean, OEM-style appearance inside the cabin.
The range is available with a variety of laser-etched labels for accessories such as LED driving lights, light bars, air compressors and differential locks. This makes it easier to identify each accessory while maintaining a consistent factory-style installation.
The switches feature blue LED illumination with separate circuits for dash backlighting and the accessory-on indicator. STEDI rates the switches at 3A at 12V and specifies that they should be connected through an appropriately fused relay rather than carrying the full accessory load directly.

UNIVERSAL VALVE CAPS
For a smaller finishing touch, STEDI's universal tyre valve caps provide an easy way to add a subtle branded detail to the 120 Series Prado.
Designed to fit standard tyre valve stems, the caps include an internal seal to help protect the valve from dirt and debris. Their universal fit also means they can be used across a wide range of vehicles, not just the Prado.
