My new '03 4Runner needed brake pads, so since I'm going to use it to tow I upgraded to more aggressive pads. Not like race pads, but ones that are good to 1000F (Axxis Ultimates). A couple of days have gone by, and this morning when I started it the ABS and VSC lights came on. They stayed on...

Needless to say, I also noticed that the fog lights appeared to be there... as any normal person would conclude. That's also why the argument that this car didn't come with them is faulty. If it didn't, it would have had a vent there instead. As for what exactly was missing behind the lens...

It was $363 per side for parts (the assembly) and $150 in labor, so $876 for the whole thing. You have to think about it from a compensation perspective. If I had gone aftermarket, I would have risked my legal right to be compensated by the seller, since I would be paying for something that...

That's what I'm thinking. This was an ebay purchase (I know, cue the "I told you so" and "that's what you get for buying on ebay" chorus), that appears to have been bought at auction. It was advertised as never been hit, etc but I'm guessing it was. I did have an independent inspector check...

Ah, that might be where he is getting his bullshit from! Good info, thanks! Is there any kind of secondary light in the main headlight cluster though? Also, can you think of any idea why my sport model wouldn't have the light assemblies in it?

Re: Re: Fog Light question - need help ASAP A pic won't help unfortunately. The fog light lenses (and yes, I'm talking about the lower ones next to the turn signals) are there so a photo of the front of the car would look normal, but there is pretty much nothing behind it. In other words...

I'm looking to replace a damaged interior trim panel (in the rear/trunk area) on an '03 and was hoping to find a good online source for used parts. I tried www.car-part.com but didn't come up with anything. Are there any Toyota specific used part sources that I could tap into? Thanks! Matt

I just bought a 2003 4Runner V8 4WD Sport. When I received it, I discovered that the fog light switch on the light stalk wasn't doing anything. I took it to the dealership, and they told me that the entire fog light assembly was missing. So I spoke to the person I bought it from asking him to...
