I bought this back-up bulb and have been disappointed in it: Philips 12789LPB2. Likewise it is supposed to be 6000k LED. It simply does not project very far and I back into my driveway and then the garage. There are no street lights on my street and my driveway is fairly long, 100ft. Often I have to get out and turn on the eve lights and garage lights to back it in.

Do this, you won’t regret it. Easy to tap into your factory tail light wiring and these are cheap no brand name lights and they are 10x brighter than upgraded led reverse lights. My frame had pre drilled holes for something and the bolts on the lights threaded right in.

those look just like mine, except mine are eBay specials I’m sure. I got them second hand on TW (albeit new). They’re 6” work lights, same style of bracket. Will probably look more tucked to the bumper on your rig, I have a 1” body lift which is why they’re so exposed.

I have a set of those lights laying around. That is a great use for them. Thanks for the advice!

Would love to do this on my 4R but aren’t you concerned about tearing them off on a trail?

So I purchased a bunch of lights off Amazon a few months ago including the Auxbeam lows, and have been super happy with all except the Vehicode DRL's for the front.
Amazon.com: VehiCode No Hyper Flashing 25W Bright 1156 1141 7506 LED Light Bulb (Amber/Yellow) Kit - 93 BA15S P21W CanBus Error Free Built-in Resistor Replacement for Turn Signal Light Blinker Lamps (2 Pack): Automotive

The driver's one just flickers for a while and sometimes comes on, and sometimes, nothing, and very rarely works at all as a blinker. I've reached out through Amazon, email, their website, Facebook and left voice mails on their customer service number for over a month now and no response anywhere...so pissed, since they were about $30! Anyone have any feedback or contact with them, or any other recommendations? I used my debit card so no protection there, and I hate to just waste $30 on 2 little bulbs lol.

HiBeam question. Why not go with 12000 lumen 4 chip LEDs? I rarely use them, why not make them flamethrowers?

Same, looking forward to the output in person! I’ve used LASFIT leds from EBay and those worked great so we’ll see.

No complaints, and been through many carwashes with them and DTMoto black housing lenses with zero problems.

With these LED conversions I have a question: On my Hyundai Elantra when I went to LED I had to leave the cover off the back of the headlight housing which turned out wasn't an issue with water and dirt, but It worries me with the 4runner as it'll be more susceptible to water and dirt. Sorry if this is a dumb one: does the headlight unit "cover" still fit?

(Admittedly I have not looked at the back of the unit)

Going by the links in the first post, I ordered the H11 LED's (lows). They don't fit. What am I missing here?

eta:nvm figured it out.....

Runner doesn’t have a cover like some cars, bulbs just have an O-Ring to keep stuff out.

Has anyone needed to adjusted their headlights after the install?
