Talking Replaced Stock Tail Lights With Eagle Eyes LED Taillights
Decided to replace my stock taillights for the black finish Eagle Eyes LED Taillights from Ebay
96 00 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Base Limited Black LED Tail Lights Lamps 1 Pair | eBay

First I uninstalled the old tail lights, You have to take out the rear piece of trim inside the back with the 5 screws. Then the one around the dome light for the rear. Then I just popped the side panels out enough to fit my hands in to unplug the lights and unscrew the ground. The ground bolt is 10mm. (Be careful with the plastic pins, they break very easily. I would recommend using a body panel clip tool or a putty knife)



Here are the old Taillights, I did not get a picture of the New ones before I put them on the car because UPS showed up at 8 and it was dark outside.

I got the new lights Installed and everything buttoned up again in about 20min, the whole project took about 40 minutes MAX. Remember to reattach the ground wires, and check to make sure everything is working before closing it all up again. Here is the finished product, I love the way they look and they are much brighter. The next light upgrade will be HID Projectors with switch back halos





If you have any questions on the Install, Im happy to help out. Also ignore the gnarly rear bumper, Its getting replaced with a CBI Offroad bumper with tire carrier and hopefully rotopax in January.

These are really nice looking! Almost like the 06-09 4Runner rears with the switch to LED's. Definitely would rather do this than a 'euro' style. I like it!

I was looking to do this as well. Actually, I was looking at these tailights and headlights on Amazon. Do you plan on doing the front as well?

May be a while, rear bumper is first! That's going to be a steep investment.

How do you like the black on the sides of the tail lights!?

I know there is also a version that are clear like the OEM style...

Do you prefer the black on the sides ??

Have you seen the OEM clear type LED tails???

I have, I personally i like the black on the side because I'm going for a black and sliver two tone build and I don't want to have to tint my taillights because I like them as bright as possible.

I just did this to mine but now getting the ABS light on the dash. Did some research and found out need a load resistor for the LED brake lights since they're drawing less current and causing ECU to think you have a light bulb out. Did the OP run into the same problem by any chance? Anyway, I ordered 2 sets just in case , a dual 25W and dual 50W load resistors, hope this will resolve the ABS issue since this also disables the cruise control and I have a long trip coming up in a couple of weeks!

Edit: I just found out my 3rd brake light was not working, this coincided with me putting in the new LED tail-lights... I just ordered a couple of #921 on Amazon and will replace it...

I like the way those look, been thinking about them or the 01-02 OEM looking LED's.

I've had a set for about 7 or 8 months. They work and look great. Highly recommend. I would also recommend you run a little bead of Silicone or some sort of sealant around the lens to backing seam, one of mine gets condensation after heavy rain. Other than that, I love them and the brightness is perfect, I got just the red ones, thought they looked more like a factory high end piece.

@Renegade_Medic thanks for posting this!! Been hoping to see the red ones on someone's 4Runner. Looks really goodReplacing Stock Tail Lights With Eagle Eyes LED Taillights

Any options out there on how these would compare to factory 01-02 with LED bulbs?
