2nd Gen 4Runner LED Headlight Upgrade
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- My wife and I replaced the stock sealed beam headlights on the 4Runner with new LED headlights.
Please Note: We took the grill off in order to install horns as well as figure out a route for both headlight and horn wiring harnesses. If you are just installing the headlights, removing the grill may not be necessary in your case.

Nice job! All in a days work...I want to upgrade mine now.
Great video!! I just got a 94 2nd gen 4 runner. Ill Most likely use your video as reference down the line for this job. Thank you!
Nice! Welcome to the club. We are working on upgrading ours and hope our vids can make life a little easier for you and your Yota projects. Thanks for your support!
@@roughcutsgarage I look forward to new videos. You got a new subscriber. God bless
lol@ I'm sure there is an easier way to do this but we didn't have time for that. Nice 2nd gen info in your videos. I am a big fan of the 2nd gen 4 runner. Good to see you giving your tank the love it deserves.
Haha thanks! Yeah she is coming along. The 2nd Gens are a lot of fun!
Like the channel name ;-) Lights look nice and bright!
Looking to do mine very soon and thank you for the video man !! I knew how but this was just a reminder etc they look great 👍🏽
Thanks! Yeah they are awesome headlights for the price. I just wish they were heated.
It's funny, of course, for the sake of the headlights, to disassemble the floor of the car, thanks for the video
I like the way this looks I got a 1994 but I like the look of yours front side. I wonder if it would be hard to install those into mine I'll maybe have to buy extra parts to adapt
Thanks! It's nice having sealed beam style headlights because there are a lot of options out there. I wonder now if the 2nd gen grille can fit on a 3rd gen easily. They shouldn't be too far off.
Yup man I don’t like the face lift they gave the second gen 4Runner for the ‘92 model year
@@tonymontana7293 yeah I definitely prefer the old sealed beam look for sure. Definitely lucked out with the 4Runner and the Truck. Companies should bring back sealed beams.
My doesn’t work for some odd reason done everything you did
So it has been 19 months since you did the headlight upgrade. Is the headlights still working? Did any go bad?
I have a 1990 4Runner I am thinking about doing the upgrade.
Headlights are still working fine and have remained very bright. Haven't had any issues so far. 👍
You old headlights don't look like they were stock. Do I need special mounting brackets to mount the new headlights if I have the stock headlights?
The mounting bracket should be stock. There is a slight difference with later second gen years which may be your problem. I think it changed around 93 or 94 where there is a difference in the grille but I would have to confirm.
We didn't need to pick up a different bracket.
@@roughcutsgarage thank you. I have a 92, and my stock headlights are different from yours. I ordered the headlights and wiring harness that you linked and they just came in today.
I guess I'll find out the hard way when I take everything apart.
@@Ramjam9000 It should be plug and play, can't remember if I included it in the video but make sure the grounding points to the body are good.
I've gotta 93 how'd it work put for you @ram
How on earth did you take the grill out??? Please tell me
We took it out in the video (the incorrect way involving snapping a few things...it was our first video ever) there are 4 screws holding the side marker lights on. If I was to do it again, I would have taken the bumper off to pull out the grille. Of course you could just do what we did and snap off the tabs holding it in place.
@@roughcutsgarage I've tried taking the grill out a couple times, but I'm not able to do it. I'll see if I can take the bumper out
Mine does not fit my bracket at all its squared not round like it needs to be but on eBay it says my exact truck and year model and everything yet did not fit
We got ours from Amazon. Some vehicle filters aren't 100% correct I have found. As long is you are running a 5x7 sealed beam bulb stock, most LED 5x7 replacements should fit.
Did you have any issues after installing the lights? I installed mine about a week ago and my battery was some how drained but im not sure if it was because of the wire harness or something else that was already wrong with my 4runner.
We haven't had any issues with our headlights at all. One thing you probably could do is take a multimeter and test along the harness to rule out any parasitic draw from the lights.
Anyone try installing without the harness?
Did you have any issues with your blinkers flashing rapidly?
No issues if you are just swapping out the headlights and the side marker lights. I ran into issues when I tried swapping out the turn signals to LEDs. I suspect it's because the stock signal relay can't detect the lower current draw from the LED. I would look for led turn signals that have a built in resistor or I believe there are aftermarket relays that address the rapid flashing or in my case, no flash at all. If you come across some led turn signals that work I would love to know where you found them. I am currently still running stock bulbs for signals.
Look at those beauties!
Im getting led for my 4runner 90 , do i need to buy that wiring for my 4runner?
Buying the harness made it easier for us. You could replicate or design and build your own wiring harness using the same relays and connectors if you feel inclined to. My understanding is since LEDs draw less power, the stock relays sometimes won't pickup the draw from the LEDs (similar issue for LED turn signals going into hyper flash). We didn't feel like designing and building one so we just bought one.
@@roughcutsgaragewhere did you buy your harness

If I wanted to wire in the DRL what would I have to do?
From my understanding of the instructions that came with the lights, you have to splice the extra DRL wire lead on the headlight into the positive wire of the stock side marker lights on the vehicle. That is just my understanding. I have not tried it yet though.
@@roughcutsgarage got it, those side marker lights you are referring to are also known as the corner lights correct?
@@marvmarv9027 Correct. Hope it works! Please let us know if it does. Thanks.
