    LED headlight replacement bulbs

    LED headlights always stand out in oncoming traffic, even when stock. The OEM resistance bulbs are dimmer and have such a low K value that it’s more that the contrast to LEDs is the factor in annoying other drivers. Two people have provided comments on the Fahren LEDs.

    LED headlight replacement bulbs

    I also bought a set of these about a month ago for my 2005 and I agree. They seem to work fine in the OEM reflector housings and I haven’t had any issues with people flashing their hi beams at me. The companion Fahren high beams are also quite bright.

    TPMS - 2004 Toyota 4Runner

    The TPMS sensors have batteries which eventually fail. Short of disconnecting the TPMS system (search this forum for DIY), the only solution is to have a tire shop find out which sensors are dead and then replace them. I have a 2005 and I bought one of those units on Amazon that reprograms the...
