That ebay link won't work for 01-02 4Runners. The bulbs changed in 2001.

Another thing, when it comes to LED, always choose the same color LED as the lens that it is going into. LED emits light monochromically, unlike filament bulb that emits in fuller spectrum. Yes, even those colored filament bulbs emit in full spectrum, its glass filters out all but the designated color (ie: minimize intensity).
Do my LED work well? Hell yes. I will never go back to incandescent bulbs...

If online: http://www.SigmaAuto.com and click on "Lighting - Bulbs", NOTE: This is MY company.
Let me post some photos to show you first, all in all, LED fills the lamp housing a lil' less than incandescent (ie: dimmer in general) but if you choose an LED bulb that emits in all directions, you can utilize the reflector well and the result can be very satisfactory. Another thing, LED draws so lil' current that my ABS indicator is lit (did you know that ABS on = a burned bulb somewhere in our Runner? I paid $80 to learn about this, $80 = ABS diagnostic test). Any way, to remedy this, you may need the Load Resistor Kit per each turn signal LED bulb. But try the bulbs first, use the LRK only if the ABS indicator is lit.
If there's enough interest, I can organize a group-buy and you guys will pay below those MSRP posted on our site.
Let me know.
Edward

Mine is for the '98 4Runner Ltd:
5w Wedge (C) = 194
27w Single end (B) = 1156
21w Wedge (C) = 7440
21/5w Wedge (C) = 7443
And so on ...
