Trying to ID headlight bulb for replacement
Hi, all.

Anyone recognize this LED "bulb"? It's burnt out and I'd like to get the same one.

I bought the 4runner with 160k about 4 years ago and these headlights were already installed. Now, nearly 100k later one has finally gone caput, but I can't figure out the exact replacement. Image is attached.

Thank you!

High beam or low beam?

Look in your owners manual. It will tell what halogen light bulbs are used. Leds will use the same numbers.

Low beam. I know the spec is H11, just trying to figure out exactly what the brand is that's in there and there are no markings.

Just replace both low beams. Generally the pay can expect similar lifespan, so instead of wasting time tying to be ultra frugal and only doing one, buy a pair.

I’m most fond of VLED’s products and they currently have a sale going on.

I did a quick scroll trough the H11 LED offerings on Amazon and Ebay, and did not see that shape. LED lights get constant improvement and change overtime. There is probably something much better that what that ever was.

Thus you could replace it with any of the current H11 LED offerings. But I would suggest getting well know brands with a quality reputation such as LasFit or Diode Dynamics.
Sorry! Something went wrong!

Edit: LasFit has an H11 LED especially made for the 4Runner, with uniquely designed to work in the 4Runner OEM housing.

I recently put them in my '18 4Runner and could not be happier. Much brighter light with perfect OEM light pattern. They are a bit pricey, however, but you get what you pay for: Toyota 4Runner 2014-2020 Custom H11 LED Bulbs with Dust Cover | Pro-DC

Thanks, all.

I ended up pulling the trigger on the LasFit kit.

Good. Two things to be aware of with the LasFit kit.

1. They are labeled for left and right, but the labels may be wrong.

2. The LED strip is adjustable (rotation) so the light output lines up with the original halogen filament. (there is a small allen set screw on the side; the allen wrench is included). I think they try to align them at the factory, but one of mine was way off. If they are off, the light pattern will be wrong. There is a video on their web site that shows how to aligned the light strip so the light pattern is correct.

Very good to know. Thank you very much!
