Also for those of you who didn't see the updates on my other thread, here are the pics of my exterior lighting changes:

WeatherTech Bug Shield & Vent shades along with the window tint.

Next here are a few shots of the PIAA Superwhite 1156 Front Turn Signals/DRL's. Much cleaner than amber:

Below the front signal, there is a small amber 194 bulb, I replaced these with Superwhite LED's:

And last, Superwhite LED's for the license tag

Love the HID's and the tint looks cool too. Personally, I'm not a fan of 22 or bigger rims- I've seen more than a couple cars on the side of the highway with a tire missing off their rim- I don't think they like pot-holes. But hey, to each his own.

Awesome quality photos too.

I like what ur doing to it. It is one of a kind.
this pic..

makes the rear look too high.. It seems the truck should be lowered or leveled out... damn xreas makes it difficult
 
hids are too blue, ell me wat kelvin is it, im running 5000k 55watt from www.retro-solutions.com and they are the whitest light projected out. ill b swapping to some yellow 3000k from him also to test them out in the projectors, show us some pic and cut offs from ur kit pls.
 
The tint looks good. But the front windows seem lighter than the back. Maybe making them the same throughout would be nicer.

I'm not that big on the wheels...4runners don't look that good with pimping big wheels, it's more of a rugged-type truck.

The lights look good to go.
 
The HIDs are too blue. I like to see some pictures of the HIDs at night.

The rear looks a bit high. Other than that, looks good and not overly done.

lol, yeah in that pic I had one wheel on the driveway and the the rest were in the road, in some odd way I thought it looked cool. But don't worry, the next thing I do will probably be a leveling kit. The uneveness is killing me...

On all rear windows I have two layers of 5%, I can barely see anything in the daytime and at nightime.. can't see anything. i think I made a mistake but anyways the two front windows are 35%. I'm thinking about taking that off and getting 18%.

Yeah I went with the same HID's I had from my 02 4Runner, I dunno man I just love the color blue and I want mine to stand out at night time. But I'll definitely get some night shots here in a day or two.

Haha yeah, that was just the way I was posing my 4Runner, it's really not that high! :bigok:

Hell yeah finally someone likes the HID's! :bigok: But yeah, I know most people are not a fan of the "big rims" but I've actually got them for sale in the paper, and when they are sold I plan on getting some BFG Goodrich All Terrains for my 18's. Oh yeah thanks for the compliment on the photos, I swear I took about 50 today and there were only a select few that I liked.

Is the color white legal for turn signals? or does it have to be amber. I live in NJ but I gotta check that out. I like the white front signal / DR lights. looks good bro
 
i like rims..but not on a 4runner for some reason. at least you went with a good clean set. not all crazy looking just simple and clean. to me it looks like a durango?? or maybe its just me. i like all of the other lights you set up with the turn signals.
 
Your truck looks real nice..I like the lights as well. I just installed PIAA 5263's on my brush guard and they look wild because they are ion chrystal and the yellow and blue makes the light look sick and it would go with the HID's you installed.

Pics look great as well...what kind of camera?..I do photo on the side and use Nikon DSLR's

What did you have to do to get the 22" rims/wheels/tires to fit? I've been told it's iffy to even put 17" on that... did you have to buy a custom suspension/raise kit?

Looks awesome dude.
 
Damn, that looks good. I like lifts and bigger tires more, but thats clean as hell just like your last one.

What K are your HID's? I love the blue. Mine are 6000k so they are a little less blue.

I want to tint my rear windows, you said you made a mistake with the double 5%. What would you reccomend instead? I want it pretty dark but still would like to see a little bit. You should tint the windshield to 50%. I got it done, you cant even tell its tinted day or night but looks so clean. Plus there is no way for them to measure the tint on it, the meter has to clip on either side of the window to measure the tint.

It's a possibility it might be illegal, but I highly doubt a cop is going to pull you over for the color of your turn signals. The only color they care about is blue.

Yeah I'm looking to get a new set of rims, black/chrome with a 45 series tire instead of the 40. I think it'll look much better.

Thanks for the compliments man, I know what lights your talking about, they are round, right? My cameria is a Cannon Powershot G5.

How is the quality of the HIDS
Did you follow any kind of write up to install them?
Very good quality and very bright, I'll get some light output shots as soon as I can. They were plug N play so they were very easy to install.

Thanks man, 22"s with a 40 series tire will fit on there perfectly, no modification to make them fit is needed.

Thanks man, for my HID's I went with an extreme color, QB (Dark Blue) http://gothidkit.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=26&products_id=57

But for your tint I'd just go with a single layer of 5%. I believe that'd look good. For some reason my first layer of tint wasn't very dark, hell I'm not even sure if it was 5%.
