if this is not possible does anyone know of a place to get the projector style lights for a 3rd gen runner

Without a TON of fab work you cannot do it.

Your headlights are already projector. Get better brighter bulbs. If that still isn't good enough, you will have to upgrade to HID.

i think he meant the round, glass, module-type projectors...

4th gens dont use round headlights, so i doubt it.

i run 80w/100w bulbs with a custom wiring harness up-grade they are bright. I ran 3 relays (30 amp , High, Low, and Fog). I noticed a big up-grade with just the wiring ans the stock bulbs, once I put in the 80/100 i feel bad using any thing but low beams. I also added 100w fog bulbs and wired them up to stay on with the high beams. I only use this combo in the desert at night, the high beams light up down range nicely but leave some thing to be desired close up this is the void the fogs fill.

Actually the 4th gens do have projector headlights. And the 3rd gens don’t have projector headlights (I SOOO wish they did!). My limited did come with projector fog lights though.

And I don’t think that the 4th gen lights will fit in that well at all. You would be much better off doing a custom retrofit for the lights. Then get the HID in them to finish them off.

it was jus a thought that i thought it would look prety sweet if pulled off

I agree but the lights are way differnt so i highly doubt that they could be put on a 3rd gen and look right without a lot of work in witch case just doing an HID retro would be a better idea.
