Installation (2003-2005 Toyota 4Runner)

Tools: Phillips screwdriver, 10 mm socket and ratchet, trim clip tool, small pliers.

1. Open the hood and disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the push clips holding the upper radiator/grille cover (pull the center pin first).
3. Remove the 4 bolts under the grille, then the screws along the bumper cover and the 10 mm screw at each fender edge.
4. Pull back the fender liner to reach the hidden headlight bolt behind the bumper and remove it.
5. Unplug the DRL and fog light connectors, pry the bumper ends out and forward, and remove the bumper cover with a helper supporting it.
6. Remove the 3 upper headlight fasteners, lift the locating tab, slide the lamp toward the center and pull it out.
7. Unplug the bulbs and side marker. Transfer the 10 mm bracket and the marker socket from the old housing to the new one.
8. Plug in the 9005/9006 bulbs and marker, set the lamp in place (tab over, side into the fender), start all screws, then snug them — they thread into plastic, so do not over-tighten.
9. Refit the bumper cover, reconnect fog/DRL, reinstall screws and clips, then aim using the two adjusters on the back of the lamp.

Steps based on the 1A Auto 2003-2009 4Runner headlight video and the Toyota 4Runner service manual.

FAQ

Will these fit my 2007 4Runner?
No. The 2006-2009 4Runner has a facelifted headlight shape. This pair is for 2003-2005 only.

Do I need to transfer anything from my old headlights?
Yes. Most installs move the small 10 mm mounting bracket and the side-marker socket from the old housing to the new one.

What bulb sizes do these use?
High beam 9005, low beam 9006, side marker T10 (bulbs NOT included).

Can I put LED bulbs in these?
Yes. These are halogen housings, so 9005/9006 LED conversion kits fit. Use a quality kit with a CANbus decoder if you see flicker or a bulb-out warning, and re-aim the beams after install.
