Can you get pics and a write up? I camp and sleep in my 4Runner all the time and thought about that everytime too. I searched ad found one thread w/ a write up but it was to a second gen and the links were too old.

 

sorry, I did this like 8 years ago, if i still had the 4runner I could take some pics, and probably help you out alot, but I sold it years ago (still kicking myself)

IIRC I used a momentary switch (on/off/on) it was cheesy as hell, looked like a big, square, chrome power window switch from a late 80's chevy pickup,

IIRC it was wired strait from the battery, with an inline fuse, right to the switch, and then to the motor for the window,

You could just do it right off the key switch, and it should work fine, but it will only work when the key would work (in all reality you would only need it to work then anyways) so it wouldn't help if you had to troubleshoot anything

I'm sorry I'm not too much help,

a little time with a wiring diagram and you could have it done in a day


edit: and, not that it matters, the switch was mounted on the plastic side panel, not the tailgate itself

 

am not so sure about that... it could be better than what's on ebay but taiwan-made is not the same as oem / japan-made...

 

I wounder if those or the ones this thread were about are brighter?

I know that although mine are ok the need some help. I just want LED's for the power saving incase they were left of and i want them bright as possible and a big beam pattern.

And where is the 3watt version? I don't see it.

 

Pretty cool. If they are bright enough they could go in the fenders for rock lights.

 

I compared them when I got em, and it seemed the same to me, looked the same, felt the same, etc...

 

I have a 1998 4Runner w/ moonroof. What are LED drop in replacements for the 2 map lights? Do any of the oznium led dome lights fit?

 

First step is to remove and identify the type of bulb. Then see if a replacement of an appropriate type and size exists. Here is a drop in replacement for a 30mm festoon type bulb, common for dome lights and map lights on some Toyotas:

The map lights are bulb type Ba9, you can get a replacement from www.autolumination.com To find out if any of the oznium dome lights will fit, all it takes is a simple measuring. It tells the sizes on oznium

 

sorry for the repost of #69... safari is acting up a lil.

thanks

 

subscribed, but you think it'll fit 1st gen 4Runner?

 

Here we go, I finally got my 25 LED Dome light from oznium. It had been back ordered since December 16. Got it installed today and it's bright as hell. I would definitely suggest this if you're looking for a light upgrade:

 

Holy blue batman...

I would have gone red so you could turn it on and not effect the night vision, so easier to catch badguys wit yo supa vision.

But seriously. Looks bright. I think I'll stick with white though.

 

Yeah I wasn't suggesting anyone to get blue, that's just my favorite color. They've got the 25 LED dome light in white as well. I'm sure that's the brightest one.

 

Man your 4Runner is nice. I you had that thing in LA, #1, it would probably be stolen by now, but #2, you would literally chasing women away from you with a stick.

But seriously, that thing is sweet. I bid on one of those LED dome lights on ebay last night...too bad my weak $11.79 bid didn't meet the reserve price....

 

Thanks man, your making me want to move to LA, not for #1, but definitely for #2... haha!

 

It is a proven fact that most people do not move to LA for #1...

Too bad all the good looking #2's from Northern california moved to So cal. Now the only #2's left here look like #2



Rigs like yours should be the reason Yotatech should do a "Featured Rig" each month.

 

Yeah that'd be cool if YT had a rig of the month, but for some reason I think I'd have a hard time winning. Hell I can't even win 4Runner of the month on t4r.org lol

 

I just upgraded both my dome light and cargo light to 1wt Luxeon LED lights. (Same thing 4Crawler posted up about on pg 3 of this thread.) Wow, are they bright. They're pricey, but definitely worth it. They produce a very bright white light. They've got my vote
