Sorry I missed that, I would say though, the simple low beam LED upgrade would be well worth it if the BILED setup gets too complicated!

I will also add, I live in Canada and drove through a few snowstorm already this year where some snow accumulated at the front of the car, but snow accumulation on the headlights was not an issue.
So I’m not saying that it will never happen, but in Canadian winter conditions it’s not been an issue so far for me.

I have no clue. I grabbed that picture from way earlier in this thread ... someone else put it there. :-)
You can see the conversion clearly here (also grabbed from previously in the thread). It looks friction-fit to me, but you could prob go look at your 4Runner for sure.

Thx. My 4runner is not available and is being worked on (right headlights, fender and bumper are wrecked) ...hence my questions about making the change now as they work on it.
I was trying to determine how/where to source that plug and buy new 2021 housings... or go with the gentleman that is selling lightly used 2021 housings.
At least we are almost certain the voltage is the same as pre-2021 models.

There were a couple posters who where working on harnesses a few page back. They haven’t followed up on their progress to date.

This workaround is very simple if one can determine what are the connectors. From my quick research, the pre-2021 plug is part# 90980-11255. I haven't found the 2021 plug.
So we have 2 options. Either make a short harness with corresponding female to female plugs (assuming we can find them). Or replace the 2021 plug with a part#90980-11255.
Correct me if I am wrong though ...

Since I'm a new member, I cannot post in the classifieds yet. If any of you are interested, send me a private message with your phone number and I'll get in contact with you. This set I'm showing is off a Trail Edition so it has low beam LED and high beam halogen. The only modification necessary was to transfer the low beam connection from the Morimoto to the Toyota, that has been completed already. I would suspect that these should be plug and play now since the morimoto's just plug in to the 4Runners. We have installed a set into a 2017 halogen equipped model without any problems, but your vehicle may vary.
We are charging $1000 shipped for a complete set of headlights and foglights.

BTW, I just had a call with Alex, legit guy from a legit install business. He doesn't have any in stock right now, but he gets them relativement often. I would have bought his stuff as it is definitely an awesome deal.
My car is being worked on with a damaged right headlight, so I went ahead and ordered 2 headlights from a dealer. Oh well...

I just had 2 headlights arrive from him yesterday at 9 pm (the snow here delayed everything so instead of getting them Friday so I could put them in this weekend it will have to be next weekend.)

Cool. Did you have to adjust the aim at all?
How about you
@ sato_toguchi
- did you have to aim?
I don't have sufficient space at my house ... where do you guys go to aim the headlights?
(And I have to say, the Toyota instructions are hard to grok ... )

If you're swapping the entire housing, you really should check the aim. Easy to do.
Measure the distance from the ground to the center of your headlight projector. Let's say it's 40".
Toyota specs a 2" drop at 25 feet. So, place a piece of tape on a wall that is 38" from the ground. Find a parking garage or lot with flat ground and park your truck squarely 25 feet away from it.
Aim your low beam cutoff for the tape. You can adjust the headlights up or down with a large philips screwdriver. And you're done.
If you want to do your fog lights at the same time, you follow the same procedure but with a 4" drop.
I also prefer to do my aim when the truck is loaded, as if for a trip. That's usually when I need my aim to go the distance on long, dark roads. During my daily (nightly) commute my low beam aim is pulled back in a bit with no load.

Thanks
@ mynameistory
- v helpful.
I'd found this, which is a lot more confusing (instructions as written by Toyota). It seems to suggest +-3 inches from the ground to the middle of the headlight is ok, which is a pretty big range. I can't figure out the diagram with the diagonal lines, though. Anyone?
I can't find the equivalent for a 2021 LED model. I don't know why it would be any different.
They do say (1) fill gas (2) inflate tires (3) remove spare tire and jack (?!?) and put a 150-pound person in the driver's side. What if my wife only weighs 110 lol.
I need to find a flat wall - I live on a hill so my garage wont work - but I think step 1 is to record how the lights (and fogs which are going to be replaced by some DDs) currently sit, since my suspension is stock.
PS the fog light aiming is the same thing, but only - up to 10 cm (this one is metric lol)
