Technical sources back this up: the Suzuki SJ410/SJ413 Service Manual (Lighting System and wiring diagrams) details the headlamp circuit, switchgear and aim, and both Australian Design Rule ADR 46/00 (Headlamps) and New Zealand’s Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Lighting 2004 require compliant headlamps on vehicles of this era. In most markets the 1986 Jimny/SJ413 runs a 7-inch round headlamp—either a sealed-beam unit (e.g., H6024) or a lens/reflector housing with a replaceable H4 60/55W bulb.
