What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

When you need a parking spot be happy you have a 3” lift and a bad ass 4Runner

 

Round here they would key the heck outta your rig if you try it, Chicago sucks

 

I had Sylvania Silverstar Ultra H11 bulbs in my 2016 which were better than stock but in these projectors they were not impressive. I love these bulbs and have had great results with them in other vehicles but not the 4Runner. I decided to do the H9 headlight bulb swap for my low beams. Driving home from work I can tell a drastic difference. Cleaner more pure white light that lights up the road further and wider but at the same cutoff. So far it appears I am not blinding oncoming traffic which is a good thing. I took the highway home tonight but I will put them to the test on all back roads tomorrow on my way to work. So far, I am very pleased with this 5 minute $14.00 mod. These are the bulbs I used.

Those Philip H9 bulbs are literally twice as bright as the stock H11s. I've had Silverstars in the past. Not that great and overpriced.

 

Says they won't fit a 2019 4Runner...is there a significant difference in 2016 vs 2019 headlights?

 

The ultimate mall cruiser.

 

I might key their face.

 

I agree with you on the shopping carts. I have given many a person an eat shit look when they just leave them in the lot. I'll even stare them down while putting their cart away myself.
However, the remark about getting keyed was for a vehicle parked illegally, and like an a-hole. I don't condone damaging others' property, but if I parked like that and got keyed I would probably figure I deserved it for parking like an asshat.

 

Yep big improvement over the stock H11 The Silverstar H11 bulbs will be swapped into my 2019 Highlander. We'll see if there is any improvement.

 

Rattle can bed liner came out good on mine. Keep in mind it is wrecked in the picture

 

Looks very good. Did you remove them to paint, or do it on the vehicle?

 

Thanks! Kept it on. PIA to remove from what I read. Scuffed and acetone cleaned it then sprayed it

 

Did you do the back as well? How long ago did you paint it, and hows it holding up?

 

I did the back too. I’ll see if I can find the pictures. It was holding up really well, until I hit a deer

 

Painted them in June

 

I'm still looking into options for my lift. Only parts I have so far are the JBA UCAs.

 

I'm running the OEM TRD Pro suspension system. Bilstein 6112 shocks up front, 5160 reservoir shocks out back. I love the ride. I had the ToyTec Ultimate kit with the 5100s and it was nice but this is much better. Read my signature for full details.

 

Thanks for posting that video. After seeing how easy it looks... And how cheap the bulbs are... I ordered some.

I figure for less than $15 bucks what can it hurt...

 

Do they need to be modded at all or just simple plug and play?

 

Thanks bro. I ordered both of these.

 

I had Icon on my Tacoma. Everyone seems to love Kings though, so I might try those on my 4Runner.

 

Just spent a couple hours at the pit down from my house....



Actually I'll just make a new thread on it since there's a bunch of pictures...

 

Been wanting to take mine off-roading, but not ready for the pin striping yet.

 

I had thousands of pinstripes on my Tacoma, so I'm being more careful with the 4runner and picking wider trails.

I don't think I've gotten any yet... Knock on wood.

 

I had a lot on my Taco too. I try to be careful, but I always find that one branch that leaves a pretty noticeable mark.

 

Just ordered both of these for my truck. Looking forward to actually being able to see at night.

 

The lights in the above post really won’t put much light out on the roadway from what I’ve read about those style of lights, I used these for my fogs

$30 Alla Lighting 5200lm H8 H11 LED Fog Lights or DRL Bulbs, 6000K Xenon White Extreme Super Bright H16 H8LL H11LL 12V LED Lamps Replacement, AL-R Version

I have no experience with either... But where'd you read that? The other lights have a higher rating and 6 times the amount of reviews so I'm just curious... I did just order the ones above though...

Actually for the price of either set of fogs... I'm not expecting a whole lot.... If they're even a just little better and a whiter color I'll be happy.

 

On YouTube https://youtu.be/DeaDrH0gXZk around the 14 minute area they talk about that style light.

 

That guy is trying to sell some expensive lights on his webpage.... I'm not saying he doesn't know what he's talking about, but I doubt he'd give the nod to the ones you posted either seeing as he doesn't sell any headlights even in the same price range.

Again... I have no experience, and I'm not looking for much. If they are worse than stock I'll be the first one coming back to say I wasted money and I'll switch back... And I'll also blame @KSJ08

But if they perform even a little over stock with whiter color light, I'll be happy. Seeing as I only spent about $40 for both headlights and both fog lights. Not a lot invested to be too upset about it really. Hope for the best but I'll keep the stock bulbs ready just in case.
