Clearance lights
I was just wondering if anyone has ever put these lights on a 4runner before? i really like them on my 79 f250, at night it makes my f250 look .......it cant be put into words, i just really like them. Any opinions on mounting them or pics if anyone has ever done this?what do you guys think it would look like.the real name for these lights are clearance lights.

i've always heard 'em called chicken lights...but on a 4runner, they might not look as good, simply b/c you wouldn't have enough room to space 'em out like on the big ole f-250s...

i like them blacked out. should look alright. wire them up temp just sitting on the roof, maybe double sided taped down. leave it like that for a day or two, see how you like it before you make holes up there.

I don't know about putting them on the roof, but I have a lighted "Truck Visor", and it makes the truck look damn good at night, and during the day.
Have a peak..
Daytime...
Excuse the Quality, but nighttime...
Visor Itself...
Lighted during the twilight hours...
dunno about going with the clearance lights, I've never personally liked them, but hey, if it makes you happy.

I've thought about getting one of those "MoonVisor" things with the lights but I was'nt sure how it would look on our trucks... do you find it adds a lot of wind resistance bigtruck?
edit BTW in that first pic it looks like your box is sitting just a little out of position, not quite in line with the cab, but it may be just a trick of the camera...

And yes, in that picture, the bed is horribly misaligned, thanks to a bent frame. As of November 15th or so, the bed became inline, ahaha. I got my frame straightened for free! I heart technical colleges.

I think it came from an S10, but I am unsure, as I have never met the previous owner.

they do make one that is supposed to be designed for our trucks but I don't know how close a "fit" it is... It would be nice if someone made a smaller clearance light to fit our trucks... sort of something between what there is now and one of those windshield washer nozzle lights...
as a side note if your state/province requires pick-ups to have commercial plates and you have one of those lights burned out the cops or DOT can give you a ticket...

I don't know anything about how those would look on a 4runner, personally though, I don't think they'd look right. But for some reason when I saw this thread I thought of these...
