Write-up on swapping 01+ tail lights for 96-00?
 

I searched and found a thread that had a link to a write-up, but the link was dead. I purchased a set of 2001 tail lights that I'd like to install on my 98 4runner. Just want to taking it apart and finding out I need another part! Thanks for the help.

ya need the lights, the wiring harnesses, and possibly new bulbs, the wiring harnesses are about a foot long, and plug right in to stock wiring

What wjwerdna said! Been there, done that and he's exactly right.

I now found a way to get the newer lights, oem aftermarket and they look great. They comes with everything and for install all you need to so is cut and splice the reverve bulb in, everything else will work 100% with this setup.

If you have a 96-98, more info/write-up

If you have a 99-00, more info/write-up

anyone know if this can be done with tacomas as well?

If you can tell me if the newer tacoma tails will fit.?

well thats what i was asking...lol.

The Taco tail lights will not fit a 4runner if that's what you're asking.

no i meant ca newer taco lights fit older tacoms, as i thought i made clear, since thats what the thread is about. adapting newer lights on a truck to that same truck.

Yes. I have 2003 Tacoma lights in my 1997.

can you provide some details?

Sure. It's plug and play for Tacos. You don't even have to change wiring harnesses like you do in the 4runners. The only thing you will need is new outer screws for each side. The stock ones aren't long enough.

awesome. thank you.
