Parts for your 1999 Daihatsu Gran move-Headlights

1999 Daihatsu Gran Move Headlights

Headlights are absolutely fitted to the 1999 Daihatsu Gran Move (also known as the Pyzar in some markets). This is confirmed by Daihatsu owner’s and workshop manuals for the L50-series Gran Move (1998–2000), the Daihatsu Electronic Parts Catalogue listing dual‑filament halogen bulbs, and mainstream bulb catalogues from the likes of Osram and Philips. Road‑use regulations such as Australia’s ADR 13/00 and New Zealand’s WOF requirements also mandate functioning dipped and main beams, reinforcing that headlights are standard equipment on this model.

On the 1999 Gran Move, the headlights do the heavy lifting after dark and in foul weather—providing a crisp dipped beam for everyday traffic and a brighter main beam for open roads. Most vehicles of this year and trim use H4 60/55 W halogen bulbs with a P43t base, housed in clear polycarbonate lenses. The design balances reliability, easy bulb replacement, and beam focus good enough for regional night drives. Owners appreciate that replacement bulbs are widely available and affordable, making upkeep straightforward.

As part of routine servicing, it’s smart to check headlight operation, beam aim, and lens clarity every 10,000–15,000 kilometres—or ahead of a WOF/rego. Typical care looks like this:

• Inspect bulbs for dullness or a greyed capsule, replace in pairs to keep beam colour and brightness even.
• Confirm beam aim using the adjuster screws on the lamp units, keep the vehicle on level ground with normal load.
• Clean lenses with a plastic‑safe wash. If UV haze appears, use a headlight restoration kit and re‑seal with UV protectant.
• Check for moisture inside the housings, renew rear caps or seals if condensation is frequent.
• Verify fuses and the headlight relay if both beams fail, inspect earth points for corrosion under the bonnet.

When fitting new H4 bulbs, avoid touching the glass, and confirm the wattage matches the vehicle’s spec to stay legal and protect the wiring. If considering upgrades, quality +30% to +130% output halogens retain compliance while lifting night‑time confidence. Keeping the Gran Move’s headlights bright, aligned, and weather‑tight pays off in safer drives and painless inspection days across Australia and New Zealand.

Popular question: What headlight bulb does a 1999 Daihatsu Gran Move use?

Most 1999 Gran Move/Pyzar variants use an H4 60/55 W halogen bulb with a P43t base for combined low and high beam. Market variations exist, so checking the owner’s manual or the marking on the lamp cap is best practice before purchasing.

Popular question: How are the headlights aimed on a Gran Move?

With the vehicle on level ground, tyres correctly inflated, and a normal load, turn on dipped beam and face a flat wall. Use the vertical and horizontal adjuster screws on the headlamp units to set the cut‑off just below head height at the measured distance. Aim to the left side bias for AU/NZ right‑hand‑traffic compliance.

Popular question: Why is there condensation in the headlight?

Minor misting after rain can be normal, but persistent moisture points to a tired rear cap, perished seal, or a cracked housing. Dry the unit, replace the cap/seal, and ensure the breather ports are clear. If the lens is cracked, a new housing is the reliable fix.
