Hey guys! Bought my first 4Runner last weekend, really liking it so far. I bought a 97 as my daily driver and have been working on "fixing" the little things that needed attention. I have the built-in foglights that were stock, but one had a lens missing from a stone. I went to a local dealer and they told me new lens is $110, I nearly came unglued! Just for a piece of glass! Needless to say... they still have that one!
Is there a good place to get a replacement lens (I assume that is the right word for that part)? The light bulb works but I would not have it burning without a lens, seems like it would blow easily as soon as the rain or fog touched the hot bulb.. right?
Any help you guys can offer would be appreciated.

 

Sorry, I forgot to mention it is a Limited.

 

I'm not sure which lamps are the stock fog lights on a '97 Limited, but I would suggest a junk yard or ebay. If they're the Hella Micro DE's, I don't believe the lens is replaceable. Good hunting.

 

Where are the lights mounted? As far as I know 99 was the first year to have stock fogs.

 

Is it the same fog light lens that I have on mine (check my website)?

If so then go to www.performanceproducts.com and give them a call. They have them in stock for around $60

 

I may be willing to part with my stock Hella Micro DEs, if that's what they are, from a 1999 4Runner "Highlander". I trashed my valance and removed it along with the lights. I have a TJM T-15 on the way so I probably won't be using them. I think one has a bad connector but the light still works. Lemme know if you're interested and I'll see if I can locate them after the move.

 

Moonray,

Your 4Runner takes the Hella foglights that Performance Products sells. I am told that they will sell replacement lights without buying the entire kit. Check out the link below.http://www.performanceproducts.com/P...producttype=20


Good luck.

 

Thanks for the help. The ones I have are more rectangular than the one shown on that site, but that may be a photo distortion.
I am a newbie so I don't have a lot to offer for the vehicles yet. But I have been in the electronic security business for over 20 years. So if anyone needs any help with alarms, cameras, access control, gates, intercoms, etc. for their home or shop, I am more than happy to help. Straight answers to any question. Be warned, I am extremely "blunt" and opinionated! Before making any expensive decisions or signing anything, feel free to ask me for advise. I won't try to sell anything but will offer experienced advice.
This forum is great, everyone has been very helpful and friendly. Thanks again.
