So i decided that since i have the Toyota 7 year 100,000 mile warranty i might as well ditch the DRL mod, and leave my headlights always on, since they'll replace them for free! Does anyone actually know the average life span for the Stock headlights or the fog lights? also I just got my runner serviced at 15,000 (i'm now at 15,500) do you think its possible that my TPMS light could come on, I drive normall, dont accel quickly or go on bumpy roads but today after i put about 600lbs in the trunk, my tpms just came on! Do you think my tires are already flat just after the tire fill? or has one of the sensors gone bad?

uhhhh, I don't think they'll replace your head light bulbs for free under your warranty. I'd think that would be considered a "wear" item similar to your brake pads. Who cares as bulbs are relatively cheap so don't let that hold you from getting the DRL unit as that is cheap too.
Your TPMS light can go on anytime as it isn't mileage related. Was it a solid light or was it blinking? If it was blinking then there is a fault in one of the sensors. If it was on solid, then it thinks that one of your tires is underinflated. That includes the spare as well so make sure you check that.
Do you know what the PSI was before you put the 600lbs on?

The TPMS was solid, and i was probably running 30-32 psi, i believe it takes 32

LOL, but I don't think I'd take my 4Runner into the dealership just to replace my bulbs. How embarrasing :tongue:
