Headlight

So i bought a used 2021 Toyota 4Runner sr5 and i bought new low beam and fog lights. I open up the hood to swap the low beams and i spot the high beams and off to the sides where i would assume the low beams are theirs like a black casing that covers the side area where i again, assume the low beams would be. Anyone know how to get to the low beams?

 

Welcome. The low beam on 2021+ is a sealed LED unit. It is not intended to be serviceable.

 

First time owning a 4Runner, so sorry for the questions. So i won’t be able to up grade my bulb?

 

Correct. You cannot replace the "bulb" because there isn't one. The LEDs are part of the housing and not replaceable or user serviceable.

As for "upgraded" low beam lighting, the OEM low beams are actually very good. If you want more light on the ground, you might want to consider replacing your fog lights with something like a Diode Dynamics SS3 fog beam pods. They come in 3 power levels - Sport, Pro and Max. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

 

Thank you very much, been trying to get an answer for that. I really appreciate it, I’ll look into those fog lights. Also for my dog light i noticed it has a heat sink on it so would i have to change the housing? Because i can’t get to the bulb itself

 

The factory LED fog lights do not have replaceable bulbs either. If you want better fog lighting, you need to replace the whole unit.

Speaking as one who has played with improved lighting on all of my vehicles since the 1970's, I can pretty safely say that "brighter bulbs" are rarely what they advertise and rarely a true lighting upgrade. This is especially true with the vast majority of "drop in" LED bulbs available today.

Want truly improved lighting for your 4Runner? Here's what I have for distance lighting on my 2021 SR5 and the fog beams are just as impressive in their own right:

 

Awesome!!! Greatly appreciate the response. I thought they would be plug and play
