Or, head here and buy a replacement module:

Or, in the 5th message of this thread, BruceTS points to another writeup of the mod.

And the link I referenced in Bruce's post: http://www.darelldd.com/ev/rav_flasher.htm, has a pic of where the flasher module is.
No electronics knowledge necessary. Buy the module, find the old one in your truck, pull it out, plug the new one in.
For the signals themselves, Bruce gave you the part numbers, so... buy the new bulbs, remove the old ones from your signals, plug the new ones in.
I think the only tool you'll need is a Philips screwdriver and your Visa card.

Wink, wink.) a step by step write up of how to get turn signals that look like BruceTS's avitar. I've searched several threads for "LED" and "turn signal". Should I be searching for diff't terms?
Bob is going LED soon.... I'm sure he'll do a complete write-up........except he's not going to install the sequential's up front, but the oval LED units... exact same procedure.....
You'll need an aftermarket front bumper, the TJM needs to be re-welded to eliminate the square hole then recut to fit the new unit. Other than that it's a simple matter of connecting a few wires, modifying the flasher and installing the other bulbs....
Sequential Arrow Amber Led Kit $55.99

Oval Amber Led Lamp Kit $19.99....the type Bob's gonna install

thanx for the links. I'll keep an eye out for new threads. Another question though. Is $56 the price for one Sequential Arrow Amber Led or two? Shows two, but doesn't reaaly say. I looked on eBay, one seller is selling them for $49 each and another for $106 a pair (w/o shipping).

You can JUST do LED inserts to replace the current bulbs and then get the LED flasher module to deal with the lower current draw, you don't have to get the sequential arrow kits...

ok, so for a 96-02 4Runner, for the person that said you just swap about the flasher relay from autozone or advance, is that considered a led flasher that others are mentioning?
