Eagle Eyes Tail Lights

Decided to replace my stock taillights for the black finish Eagle Eyes LED Taillights from Ebay
96-00 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Base Limited Black LED Tail Lights Lamps 1 Pair | eBay

First I uninstalled the old tail lights, You have to take out the rear piece of trim inside the back with the 5 screws. Then the one around the dome light for the rear. Then I just popped the side panels out enough to fit my hands in to unplug the lights and unscrew the ground. The ground bolt is 10mm. (Be careful with the plastic pins, they break very easily. I would recommend using a body panel clip tool or a putty knife)

Here are the old Taillights, I did not get a picture of the New ones before I put them on the car because UPS showed up at 8 and it was dark outside.

I got the new lights Installed and everything buttoned up again in about 20min, the whole project took about 40 minutes MAX. Remember to reattach the ground wires, and check to make sure everything is working before closing it all up again. Here is the finished product, I love the way they look and they are much brighter.

It's about time man! Glad to see you have a build thread. I've been following you on Instagram for a while now, you do nice work! Keep it up! Subbed for sure!

Is it cool if I jack more of your pics and use them on my Instagram? I won't give you any photo cred of course.

Yeah, that account/guy is so dumb. I really wish Instagram would actually do something about it.

Great looking truck! Do you have any flat, pavement pictures?
