They actually fit pretty well against the fenders and hood. We did have to clean up the holes in the back slightly, with a utility knife, so that the sockets would fit in there properly. The output seems the same as the OEM.

Terri, Been following your work on your runners. Great work! I'm in the process of trying out my own Satoshi grill as per your posts. I recently purchased the exact same headlights for my 2007 runner that you did for your '08. Like you said, some of the holes needed a little work to fit but, ultimately fit and look great. Only problem I have with them is that the black paint is starting to crack and bubble around the projector beams. Let me know if you have had the same problem w yours.

Thank you!
I haven't had that issue. I actually had the same ones in my white 4Runner too, and no issues... yet

What did you do with your old lights?

Any problems with the 5100?

Is this the one you used? Yours is silver, right?

Nope. So far it's been good. Didn't have any issues on the white one either.

Yes that's the one (minus the grill mesh piece). I'm actually removing it. I liked the FJ40 emblem better so it's being replaced with that.

I still have 'em. Wanted to see if these other lights were good before the possibility of selling them. I've tried the restore process on the originals and they are good for about 2 months then go back to crap.

I had them on my white 4Runner for a very short time before I got my bigger tires. Never had any issues with them but have had no need for them now that I have the correct back spacing.

Thanks! No, no issues with the higher speeds. They seems to handle quite well. Only downfall is they're quite noisy compared to the Cooper Zeons that I had on the white one.

Something else I forgot to mention. Keep in mind I had almost an identical set up on my white 4Runner. Only difference is the style of wheels (same offset) and the style of tire (same brand). With these tires being only a tad bigger - not only are they much louder, the gas mileage is a tad worse.
My white one got about 16 in the city. This one gets 14.

Road noise would be a problem for me since I drive a lot on the highway. I currently have the Cooper AT3's and they have been really good. I want something more aggressive for the next set but don't want too much noise. The reviews on the KO's have been very good but they are pricey compared to the coopers. I still have some time to decide but always listening to other experiences.

check the tire weight differences. heavier tires will definitely eat more gas. Also, not sure if you've done the basic tune up things to the new ride yet. (I.e. clean throttle body/ mass air flow sensor, new spark plugs, new air filter etc.) mine will vary 1 or 2 mpg's with a dirty throttle body alone but then again I do have the older 03.
Hankook dynapro ATM for an all terrain, MT for the mud terrain. MT is very quiet, especially for a mud tire. My 35" MT's have over 55k on them and still half tread. ATM was better. Great traction in everything.

Most of it yes, but not all of it. I need to do a few more things. Just had a light come on the dash, so it's going in for some "fix-up's" tomorrow.
These tires are much heavier and the tread is so much more aggressive.
I can tell the difference in driving it. It has no get up and go, that's for sure! lol
