It was $600 for the parts, the rest was labor. If I'd known what the problem was in the first place, I could have replaced it myself.

...and ignition module. I didn't even know these things had computers. Apparently from water damage. Anyone have similar problems? 4Runner computer by kpkina, on Flickr

Final finish... Bottle Insert - 6 by kpkina, on Flickr

Couldn't deal with the flimsy pop-out cup holder on my '93 4Runner any longer. Coated the small nick-nack tray in the center console with wax to act as a release agent, also applied to the outside of my favorite water bottle. Then carefully poured Bondo putty inside the cavity. After curing, did...

I figured out how to splice in those resistors, based on some fine guidance from this forum (especially like to thank member phattyduck), and the high beam indicator light is working perfectly now. Wasn't very difficult. Used 2 resistors (100 ohm 5W) wired in parallel (these replace the 2...

OK, went with another manufacturer, and I think it's OK now. I originally tried NiLights; today I put in Alla bulbs (9004s) and the high-beams work. Unfortunately though, the high beam indicator on the dashboard doesn't come on any more. I've read this can happen with LED upgrades, and you need...

In case anyone is interested, the 9007s came in today. Now I have no high beams at all. What should have been simple has turned into something very frustrating. I emailed the LED company, wonder what their response will be.

As far as I know, all 3.0L V6 3VZ-E engines are non-interference. However, hoping it is just a bad water pump, and not a blown head gasket.

Yep, thank you. I've seen that diagram and agree it's almost certainly a 9007. The only thing I'm wondering is why the official spec is 9004. Maybe it's an undocumented mid-production change from Toyota?

I'm actually surprised no-one else has run into this problem. At any rate, I did order a set of 9007 bulbs and will hope for the best.

I just tried upgrading my '93 4R with LED bulbs. The controls (low vs. high beam) are now reversed. Checked my vehicle's wiring- the center contact seems to be ground, which suggests to me that it's has a 9007 configuration, not the 9004 that is specd for my car. So which do I have, 9004 or...

I got a quote that it would be $400 on the high side. Still much cheaper than traditional body work.

I see. Interesting. I requested an online quote from a local repair business.

I can't think of anyone or anything that could have provoked something like this, but I guess you never know. It was parked in a small private lot all the way back totally out of everyone's way, where I've parked for a while. By Paintless Dent Removal, you're talking about one of the hot glue...

So this mysterious dent appeared overnight on my new-to-me T4R. No idea how it got there, or how it could have even happened. I'm thinking it would be easy to bang out from the inside. Does anyone have any experience removing the interior panels in that part of the car? Thanks for any help...
