I started adding it up and couldn't believe how much ordering these individually was going to cost.:wow: Thanks for posting there was a discount today though.
I ordered the HID (with the Phillips bulb upgrade)for the low beams and the LED for the high beam/ DRL. Take advantage of the 15% off, I saved around $50 in ordering these two kits. Steve at Xenondepot was super helpful in my ordering. Mine should arrive tomorrow and I will install over the weekend. From what I have researched on line, should be a pretty straightforward install. Ill post pics if anyone is interested.

Yeah, those phillips headlights stung a bit, hopefully itll be worth it.
excluding the license plate bulbs, you can expect the external lights to cost way more on average. Since the forum member that made the plate-style dome/liftgate LEDs is no longer playing I had to compromise.
The reverse lights are sold as pairs, the dome lights were a bit more than i wanted to pay but cheaper (and better) than the autozone variety.

Funny thing is I was only talking about the interior...

Please let us know how those Phillips LED's work as low beams, so far I have only seen them in Fogs and High beams.

id be curious to see pics of the high beam/DRL install. Didn't you have to order some sort of capacitor as well?

Thanks for the kind words!
Not a 4Runner, but the following is informative:
H8/H11/H16 Philips X-treme Ultinon LED bulb - Review - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums
The thread starter includes pictures where the Philips LEDs are placed in the low beam projectors. Note, the Camry halogen projectors appear (at least to me) to have a different cutoff than the 4Runner counterparts. That being said, you can still use the thread to get a ballpark estimate of what you get vs. stock halogen bulbs.
Is there a high likelihood that these bulbs will be offered in another color temperature? I've been looking for H16 upgrade options that keep within the 3500K - 4500K range.
The low beam HID has a couple of parts with it, including a ballast. You have to run power and ground to the HID kit. Not very hard to do and it took me less than an hour to lay everything out and secure it. Overall, the new HID light is a lot whiter and brighter than the stock lights. Which is to be expected.
I also ran the LED for the DRL and high beams. The LED seems to flicker just a bit in the DRL mode, but it is only noticeable when it was in my garage just after hook up. Not noticeable at all when running during the day. As high beams, they are good but not as bright as the HID. BUT, much much brighter than stock.
Overall a great upgrade. I took pic of everything, but I am not so happy with how they look. They don;t do the upgrade justice.

[MENTION=12905]XenonDepot[/MENTION], regardless of what came from the above question, it does appear that there are a few options beyond the 6000K color temperature.
At least in Japan (link), Philips offers the following color temperatures: 2700K, 6200K, and 6700K.

What is the part # for the kit? I want to do the whole interior at once

That is correct - but we purchase directly from Philips North America to ensure the products we get are genuine.
