Lighted Ignition
Hey guys,
I could have sworn that the little ring around the ignition is supposed to light up when the doors were unlocked on my 99 4runner SR5. While I was at the dealer today I asked and they said definetly not. What gives! That is a cool feature I think all vehicles should have. Has anybody done a mod to add this feature to their 3rd gen?

The ones on my wifes old 98 and her current 99 do light up. I think if there is a clear ring it should light up. Maybe the bulb is burned out. If you don't have the clear ring you can retrofit. There used to be a writup on TTORA NE which I don't think is around anymore. You basically have to get the ring and a small relay box and install. The plugs and wiring should already be there. The dealer doesn't know what they are talking about.

96
My 96 also has this feature so I would assume a 99 should. Your correct that its activated upon opening the door. I cant Imagine this is limited to the Limiteds. I'm sure more feedback is on the way.

Does somebody have both trucks by chance that can see if they are the same size?
