I did this on two of my motorcycles, and was contemplating the same on a 2010 FJ Cruiser. Investigation revealed that these conversions to LED from halogen are illegal in most cases if not all relative to federal DOT. I have not going to go back to the halogen on the motorcycles, as I don't ride them that much, and very little at night. I WILL admit that the change was dramatic on the two motorcycles.
I purchase this light about 3 months ago, they are a little deceiving, they put off a good white light and they are brighter than OEM at short range, but the distance is substantially less than that of an OEM halogen, i tried adjusting the light up but I could not get the range to match the halogen, I would say about 15-20 feet less from my testing, they work great when I’m just city driving with street lights and other Traffic illuminating the roads, but open highway, not so much.
Great video - very instructional! - you showed low beam installation - what about high beam LED replacement? Appreciate your comments please - thanks JEFF
Good video, thanks. Any issues with the lights so far? Do they need to be adjusted or are other drivers flashing you because your lights are too bright?
I bought the Lasfit replacements you posted a link to. 1 goes in fine and one will not go in far enough to twist (yet). They are only $40 and I don't think they have the quality that your has. Keep the 4Runner videos coming.
Hey Mike! Thanks for all the videos. Just added low beam replacements because of this video, but now my high beams are weaker than my low beams! Can you upload a new video for high beam replacement?
Thank you for the video- I am a TOTAL amateur- I want to change both lo and hi beams. Does this company offer both? Is hi beam upgrade pretty much same as low beam?
Great video! I have upgraded all interior bulbs to LEDs and low beams, high beams, fog lights, rear turn signals and reverse lights to LEDs . If you only do one thing to your 4runner it should be LEDs for the headlights and fog lights.
thanks for the video, i have a tacoma and a 4runner too. I wish the tacoma had a cap for the housing too , im expecting condensation. whats your experience with it so far ?
Thanks for this video. Just ordered the same lights. Was thinking about piaa and morimotos but this lights seems better. No fan or mods sold me. Thanks again!!
I don't know about your state but here in TN 5k lumens is illegal. Tennessee limits vehicles to 4 headlights that exceed no more than 300 candle power each. Lumens=CandlePower(orCandela) X 12.57. 12.57 is a constant in this equation and is the factor that you will always apply to candle ratings. In that case we come in at 3771 lumens per light. I just looked it up and In Oregon as your license plate suggests, you are also at 300 candlepower. They look cool, it's wonderful to be able to see things, but with low beams you have to think about others on the road.
Meh I run the LEDs in TN and never had an issue. Angle them right and they’ll be fine. I have never had any issues or anyone bright lighting me. The LEDs on my wife’s car stock were brighter than mine
i installed some on my 2017 4runner and actually just returned them. I was driving back to colorado from indiana and couldn't see a thing. I actually had to stop and reinstall the halogen bulbs back in the vehicle because i couldn't see anything with them
Found the solution to this. The LEDs seem to throw a bit higher than the stock bulbs so I took a philips head screwdriver and adjusted the headlight throw height via clockwise turns on the adjustment gears. My beam is now throwing more onto the road instead of off into the distance!
Very good video, just quick question. How is the seal on this particular bulb? Im just worried about fogging the inside of the headlamp once rainy day comes.
As I understand, the projector housing design differs between those made for LEDs and those made for halogen bulbs. Does the low beam pattern still have a nice, definite cutoff with the LED bulbs installed?
What do you think about HR LED GTR LIghtning? I've replaced my high beam lights with them and getting low beam by mail today. They are a bit pricier than what you showed but made specifically for 4Runner.
Gtr rank up at the top. Notice how this guy said 10,000 lumes with his Amazon bulbs? All lies. I have gtr in my Ford Explorer and they have a lifetime warranty and kick A.
With these specific headlights are you able to run your DRL’s without any flickering? Or do you either have to turn them all the way on or all the way off?
I originally ordered some sealight rand for my 2020 and the aluminum end of the bulb prevented me from twisting the bub in because it was hitting a part on the inside of the head light. is that the problem you had with the first ones you tried? Im hoping the internals of the headlight aren't different for 2020.
What are your thoughts on the lasfits you have listed since these are not available? Also what is the issue of needing a driver on DRL so they don’t flicker on and off ?
I installed some in my wifes 2018 limited. They lit up but wouldnt project correctly. So i had to return them. Plus the thickness of the tabs wouldnt allow me to turn and lock them in. I trimmed them and got them to work but still. Beam was way off.
@@DrivenCompanion true. Also I managed to get something from sealight, but led which goes into projector lamp (low beam) is really bad. I have ordered something from Lasfit.
5000. Lm.... those only got about 1800Lm... if you check watts on those you only got about 17w to 23w..I got a 4runner 2014.. mines are adjustable. beam patterns.... led headlights. 53w.. 4runner headlights socket are sideways. not straight... in order to get the perfect beam you need adjustable base.. from led headlights. .. if you make video do it right show beam pattern at night.. ..
Have you heard of lasfit led bulb replacements, they have a product called switch back for your fog lights, turn them on and there white, turn off then back on, they are Amber for snow and fog, you can also use them for high beam, got them on my Tacoma.
Video is great. However, my grey caps will hardly budge in turning them to the left. 2015 SR5 4-Runner. Used WD40, pliers, hammer and screwdriver they move not even a quarter of an inch. I'm not about pay Toyota to do this either.
@@DrivenCompanion Hey Mike. I had my headlights changed a month or so ago at this custom shop. Given all the videos I've seen on removing thiese caps. This shop probably screwed them up. I have an appointment today for them to take the caps off.
@@DrivenCompanion everything was good now until I had to install the driver's side bulb. Unlike the passenger side there is a bump sticking out over top of the hole where the bulb goes in. The fan part on the Ultra 2.0 is to fat to fit below the bump and go straight in. Seems like Toyota has variations in the lights. Even though 2010 - 2019 is considered 5th Gen. Will probably need to get a grinder for that bump above. One way or another I'm going to get these bulbs in.
@@dreww2475 there are a couple of companies that made bulbs specifically for the 4runner to solve that issue. HID is still best for projectors in general.
Peds will be blinded by any vehicle's lights, regardless of tech. Other vehicles will not be blinded unless the aim is off. There is nothing you can do about being blinded due to height though.
Don’t go with Amazon or any cheap led bulb. Any company that states a ridiculous lumen is bogus. DD GTR MORIMOTO V.4 super nova are ranked up top. Headlight revolution, TRS, motimoto, are the best places to buy your Bulbs with the best customer support. Any led with cob is a huge no no. I see a lot of people buying these bulbs.
