New Lights on '99 w/ Pics

finally got them installed and aimed. I removed the blinkers due to a cracked housing and decided that i wanted off-road lights there instead of purchasing new blinkers. My main reason for not attaching to the bumper was that I wanted everything to be reversible. I can take everything out and i haven't damaged any components (ie drilling holes in the bumper). right now, I am in the process of routing the blinkers to the corner light location.







To get them to fit, i made aluminum brackets that screw into the blinker mounting location and accept the light mount. I did have to cut off the mount from the bottom of the housing and re-locate it to the back of the housing so the lights would fit better. I used JB-weld and screws to re-attach the mount. Overall, i'm impressed with the light output. the lights are brighter and whiter than my headlights, and they were under $20. these are the lights, but i got them from walmart:

I have the same ones on my truck. Even though they're supposed to be street legal, they give out a mean glare from what I can tell..
(the trees way above and to the side light up when I turn them on, even with the most concentrated part of the beam aimed lower than the headlights)
1 out of probably 5 cars would flash me with them on, so I hardly ever use them anymore =\

Those lights look good, but a little out of place. Why not try to fit some hellas inside the bumper? Regardless they are great little lights. I have 4 of them on my roofrack and they put out plenty of light.

yea, they put out a great beam as driving lights. I was not impressed w/ my friend's stock fogs on his '99, and these work much better. The light is really well focused on the highway and the difference is night + day vs. my stock low beams. they do stick out, but its pretty flush with the fat-lip bumper, so i don't mind. I do wish the 4runner came with these style lights embedded in the bumper rather than the little fogs.
