    Super excited to join this forum.

    Can you please help me out?
    I would like to do some mods on it: tail light, headlights, blackout Toyota emblems etc.
    Can you please share links to different websites where I buy it?
    Any recommendations for headlights and tail lights? I would like achieve a mean look lol

    Oooh look, another mod.....

    What trim level is your Solar Octane? I ask because I think this year you can buy a non-Pro trim level in that color. Oh, and post pictures of it!

    Here are a few websites to find the add-ons that you want:

    I have the Morimoto tail lights, and love 'em. Black out emblems can be found anywhere and everywhere.

    I have a new set of smoked morimotos I received last week. Just did not get them installed yet. Also got the side mirror puddle lights in smoked same brand. Waiting to do the mirrors after I find a more powerful puddle light. I’m not touching the headlights because they are LED’s. I have diodes pro max fogs if I decide to change them they are amber.

    I'm not an expert to say which one is better. You'll hear people say one is horrible and the other is bad. I encourage you to do your due diligence by reading reviews, compare pricing on a few sites and find out what you fits your budget and the style/color that you like.

    I went with red colored Morito's, because it blends in with the color paint on my 4Runner. A lot of other guys on this go for smoked or blacked out. Again, it depends on what your style is.

    I've had my eye on these full LED headlights, because I really like the look of the DRL's. PLUS, they're like $200 - 500 less than everyone else:

    FYI, you have a Pro, so you have full LED head lights (and tail lights, btw), so you don't have to upgrade them to get "better" lights. But if you want too upgrade them to look "cooler", then start shopping around..

    Thanks! I am in San Antonio :)
    I think white headlights look better than amber on Solar Octane 4runner.

    Welcome! If you like the OEM taillights but just want a more smoked look, a good bodyshop can tint some clearcoat and professionally prep/apply it as dark as you want.

    I considered doing this to mine with just a slight factory-like tinted clearcoat. Really good shop quoted me maybe $150 each. Decided against it because my aftermarket wheels have some chrome bits on them that will match the taillights but would have otherwise done it over swapping to aftermarket ones.
