Hello let me introduce yourself, My name is Tim, new to the forum. Live in Arlington, TX. I drive an 02 4Runner SR5. Pictures later, I want to change the regular halogen bulbs to either HIDs or LEDs wants feedback on better option. Also do DRLs need to be disabled to make the upgrade?

Thanks in advance,
tM

i think in terms of longevity, leds, win, hids have better output though. I'm not sure about the DRL's, but its unlikely that you need to disable them
