For the life of me, I can't get the little amber bulb right in the headlight in the corner. I thought it was the DRL instead of turn signal.. nope. The side marker bulb was closer but still no dice unless it was just that manufacturer. Super loose. Why can't I get this bulb right? Someone have the dang number?? 2008 4runner.

Those are just amber mini "marker" bulbs that come on with you headlights.
Should be Toyota PN 90981-15012
Otherwise a standard amber #2827 from a local box store
 
I recently had a side marker go out and replaced them with these LEDs. They fit fine and are bright enough that the side markers don't seem like an afterthought anymore.
 
Ooof! That stings a little. A) same LED bulb that goes in the map and door lights, B) that is the last bulb I got but the manufacturers bulb sits really loosely. Thank you for ending this saga. Will go with a style like yours bluesky. Maybe steer away from Alla brand.
 
So here's how the LEDs look. This is daytime in the garage, where before you could barely see the side marker bulbs at all.

That's nice and bright which is welcomed! I do have one burned out so good thing I'm replacing them. I ordered the ones you showed, but may have gotten some free ones from boslla. Them shipped the wrong b4s and gave some extras in the replacements but made no note of it or what they are for.

Are these Amber or white bulbs? Wondering if I can get away with using a white bulb since I have a ton already.. not sure if the amber colored housing is enough to make it look right.
 
The housing is not colored, at least not on mine (2008 sr5). I ended up putting in white ones. I went crazy and ordered the york LEDs because they showed being brighter (the crazy part). They are bigger as a result of being brighter. Looks like they touch the housing but they also seemed to sit loose in the holder.

The lose part makes me cringe that it'll fall out into the housing on Michigan roads. Boslla sent me 2 white ones for free. They are about the size of the old bulb. Sits like the old bulb in there too so I'll go with it. The white is growing on me. I do have b4s in the lows and fogs and love them. I also have some led high beams that seem to perform like auxiliary lights lol.

I can also vouch for the york 194s being brighter. I put them in the door lights and enjoy the added light. They do rest on or darn close to the cover though. Don't even need dome lights set on door with these brighter lights and I'm using reds.
