I have 1 light out on my running boards. I finally got around to replacing it and found out that one wire is cut. There is about 1/8 inch of wire sticking out from the socket, not enough wire to splice it together. Does anyone know where I can get a pigtail/socket assembly? I tried doing some...

I checked with ijdmtoy and there 4157na bulbs do not have built in resistors. here is what they said to me: We do carry some LED switchback turn signal bulbs for bulb size 4157. You may take a look at the product here - 3157 3057 4157 Dual Color Switchback LED Bulbs For Turn Signal Light It...

I found idjmtoy selling the lights through amazon but I could not find the ones with built in resistors. Do you have a part number? Someone else told me to get "Cree" bulbs and that is what is stated on the idjmtoy ones.

where would I buy resistors? same place that sells the "V3 amber triton"? is that something I just splice into the wire near the bulb socket?

I have a 2005 with and want to replace the exterior bottom left bulbs that act as daytime lights as well as being the turn signal. The bulb in it is a 4157NA, the bulb is amber. does anyone know what LED could be used there? and best place to buy? thanks!

Yes, I agree better safe than sorry. I thought I was doing the safe thing when I looked at some expensive locks that used that round type of key but was shocked to see how easy they are to pick by anyone carrying a bic pen! I need to lock the hitch, lock the trailer door, and have a lock on...

I have just bought an enclosed trailer and now I need to make sure everything will be secure and safe for a long trip we will be making. I have a 5 inch difference in height for the trailer so I got an adjustable hitch and will want to lock it. I originally looked at locks with those round...

I have been wanting a new stereo since buying this 4runner a few months ago. I want to have in dash navigation and a back up camera. I thought that since I was going to upgrade I would get the best I could find and had planned on getting the Kenwood DNN991HD but after reading some of the...

I know it is probably coincidence but the light worked fine all along and after I picked up from the detail shop it was no longer working. There is still power at the plug when the switch is pushed in but the light no longer comes on, is it possible they could have hit a wire or done something...

I just found this thread. I purchased an '05 4runner limited and am disappointed to see that the rust is so bad on my moonroof frame assembly that it is rusted through. I do not know why I did not see it when I was looking at it but it got missed. Anyway, I am going to replace that whole...

I have a lot of questions for my "new" to me 2005 4runner. First I want to start looking at backup cameras. I plan on getting an aftermarket nav system too. I have read a lot about the backup cameras and some will have great reviews mixed with very poor reviews of failure after one day. I was...

I just bought a 2005 4runner V8 after many months of searching for what I wanted. Now I want to upgrade it with a navigation system with backup camera. I have been searching for posts regarding back up cameras and navigation systems. I see a lot of new installs but I am wondering what everyones...

Thanks for the responses on this forum. It took some time but after searching for a Red V8 with grey interior, I finally got one today. It is a 2005 limited and was 4.5 hours away so it was a long drive there and back. I was a little disappointed in a couple of areas where the paint is very...

I have a question about buying sight unseen. anyone ever buy a vehicle in another state and have it shipped to them? There seems to be some good deals on the east coast and I was wondering about the process. I would have to find someone local in that area to hire to inspect the vehicle and...

not yet, I am still waiting for the right one to come along. I have learned to ask lots of questions before buying something and then have patience until the right thing comes along. I have had buyers remorse many times in the past. I know I want a 2003 - 2009 so I can get a V8, one thing I do...
