Toyota 4Runner LED Interior Lighting Kit - Install Dome Lights, Doors and Map Lights

[@saramccoy3936]

"It's gonna be hot, so be careful" *internal scream tossing hot bulb on the ground* "just sit that off to the side" 😂

[@mickstash5067]

as soon as I saw this part i scrolled to comments. im dying laughing at this. im pretty sure i heard the bulb shatter on the ground too.

[@jrod96819]

🤣🤣🤣

[@RetiredSince2024]

Tweak I did to help get the map lights out without breaking them was to wrap duct tape around each side of the needle nose pliers, sticky side out. It helps grip the light bulb for easier removal! Awesome video!

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Thanks for the tip, glad this video could help you out with that install! Let us know if you need anything else! Have a great day!

[@drrussdc]

Tape helps, I was able to wrap the bulb and pull it out by hand.

[@haynemullikin4921]

This is by far the most easily, well explained video available. Great camera work shows exactly how to remove each lens cover without breaking them! Thanks

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Glad it was helpful!

[@brandonthomas4689]

For the map bulbs, mine were in damn tight. It was so easier just to open the sunglasses holder remove 2 screws and pull down that panel. Twist the light retainer and remove the bulb without worrying about busting a bulb

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Yeah, sometimes those bulbs can be tight. Glad to hear you were still able to get it done though!

[@mattb9664]

That's how mine is- I don't want to scratch the reflector with needle nose.

[@joshcarter9110]

This is the best method! So much easier!

[@lovedeepsaini4016]

I actually busted my bulb because it was too damn tight. Your comment was a life saver!!!!! Thank you so freaking much!!!

[@ryanpaulsen7395]

100% easier. Wish I would have started with this technique. Instead I broke a bulb and that was a disaster. He warned me too.

[@ddoghunt3471]

IF You Have Trouble,,, open sunglass case,remove two phillips stews, pull entire panel down with firm grip on both sides.. unplug electrical from roof(easy connection) bulbs twist out replace with new! SAVE TIME AND FRUSTRATION!

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Thanks for the tip, thats what we like to hear about!

[@timurs7398]

Thanks! I almost pulled it out without unscrewing two stews 😂

[@superbagel7781]

lol should’ve did this the first time I shattered one of the bulbs in there😂

[@Specz187]

This video helped a lot for my 2015 4runner limited. I replaced all the interior lights knowing where to use the little pry bar tool. The only ones left are the mirror lights.

[@ryanpaulsen7395]

Great instructions except one thing. The map lights. Just unscrew the two bolts. Then unplug the single connection cord and take your time and do it properly

[@popclutch_100]

I own a 2019 tacoma crew cab. The two small overhead lights towards the windshield. I pressed on the left cover with my finger. My question is can those covers get broken from my finger?

[@MrBerett315]

The door lights pop out from the sides easier and the vanity lights as well. Overall it really helped though

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Thanks for the feedback

[@johnhopson273]

I used Duct tape to wrap around the map light bulb to pull it out..worked perfectly!

[@JohnJones-ff4nu]

Put tape on the overhead lights to pull them instead of using pliers.....

[@Jh0ac]

Exactly what I did.

[@ianwilliams7080]

Always helps to see a pro do it before you dive in.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

That it does! Thanks for tuning in!

[@jwb4bb]

Used scotch tape for the front map lights. Tape on the side and then pull them out. Easy!

[@jspur22]

I saw someone use tape to take the lights out and it worked great. Just made a tiny funnel of duct tape and secured it then pulled the light out. Cracked my first light with the pliers lol.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Either one works!

[@thorfinthorfin3010]

Appreciate the help. The new lights are a must.

[@729pjp]

I used your technique when it came to the puddle lights, much easier than others.TY.

[@michaeltatham4307]

So I used this video as a reference and on a 2011 4runner the center dome light that you say be careful, I broke the bulb and had glass all over, so the way it worked the best is to pull down the surrounding plastic trim from the rear facing side about 1-1/2" and twist the bulb socket out and pull out the bulb, way easier and less dangerous.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

That a great tip, thank you!

[@steveturvey6168]

There are two screws inside the Sun glass holder. Take those out and you can pull down the whole thing and take the bulbs out from the top. So much easier and you won’t break a bulb.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Good tip!

[@mat1228]

They looked good until I saw the prices, they’re ridiculous.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Hey there! Sorry our prices weren't what you were expecting. Hopefully you can find something that fits your budget.

[@Bmac2112]

The visual upgrade is worth the cost. Think about that $144 spread over the 5-10 year life of the vehicle, $0.04-$0.08 per day ...

[@tribalb]

Wish will be your best friend when it comes to this

[@tomtoland2168]

Awesome video! On the map lights, I did the same as another poster and removed the 2 screws and dropped the whole assembly. No fuss, and took less than 5 minutes. I also turned off the light switches before trying to remove the bulbs. :)

[@MariaSanchez-lb4kp]

Wrap painters tape around the bulb and pull down. It’s that easy!!

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Not possible for every bulb!

[@Meangod68]

Awesome video, took me a few minutes to replace the lights inside…Need to get the headlights now..

[@TnFJ62]

Hey, I don’t want too assume but are these interior lights on the latest gen 4Runner compatible for the 4th gen 4Runner?

[@user-gr4wm5mv5p]

Ditch the pliers and use tape to remove hard to reach bulbs. Wear gloves. Turn off at switch and turn on after switching bulbs. Otherwise, great video.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Good tip!

This is a great upgrade. I just bought my wife a 2020 TRD Pro, Would love to change out all of the interior with LED's. Is there a whole kit or do I need to buy everything separately?

[@makmaley5946]

Dang, this is my question too. Was hoping someone would’ve answered you lol.

[@makmaley5946]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpvQhHqAZaaknrs Both sets of lights you need are listed in the description

[@HeadlightRevolution]

We do have a full interior kit available on our website!

[@df446]

It floors me the number of Toyota truck owners - "professionals" - that don't know the overhead center console is designed to be removed from the ceiling for bulb replacement. The bulbs come out with a quick quarter turn - from the top. Mr. Toyota designed it that way.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Right on, thanks for the tip man! We are not Toyota professionals by any means, but we are lighting experts, so any new information we can get on those vehicles is helpful! Thanks for commenting, have a great day!

[@blessedlife93]

You cannot find that pry tool at an automotive store. That’s a snap on product referred to as “gods thumb” and it is worth the money

[@m.fernandez8943]

the map light bulb is difficult to get out, tried pliers. tape, gloves to get a grip, didnt succeed .

[@rossagge]

@@m.fernandez8943 If you haven't gotten it yet, get as close as you can to the base of the bulb with a pair of smaller needle nose pliers and almost pry the bulb out instead of pulling. I did it with the size he had but I think a smaller size would work better.

[@crdczo3]

Marial Fernandez im sure you got it out by now but for anyone else reading this, just pop the whole assembly out. There are two screws where the sunglass holder is and then it pops out with a little pressure near the corners by the lights. Once its out just twist the bulb housing and pull it out. You dont even have to unplug the whole assembly from the roof

[@HeadlightRevolution]

That works too!

[@W0nTonSoup]

Dam I should’ve done that because getting those lights out even with pliers was a pain

[@petergunn1701]

Great video! Appreciate the walkthrough and the talk through. Cheers.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Glad it was helpful!

[@EvolveProgress]

Map lights: It's way easier to flip down the glasses compartment and remove 2 screws holding it up and unclip 1 wire harness to access the bulbs. They are in little turn-lockers that can be easily flipped around if you happen to install the lights with the polarity reversed. So much easier that dickin' around with needle nose pliers trying to get a grip a small glass bulb....it would suck to do all that just to find out you put them in backward.

[@michaelbennett8218]

I tried the pliers and was afraid of breaking the bulbs. The needle nose pliers kept slipping off the bulb. Also tried wrapping tape around the bulb, didn't work for me. I then used double sided tape on a pair of needle nose pliers. I trimmed the tape making a long slender triangle matching the jaws of the pliers. Bulbs popped right out with no slippage from the pliers and required less pressure insuring I didn't break the bulbs. Secondly, concerning the door puddle lights. It's much easier to disconnect the wire connection then removing the light assembly so you can see it better and work on it much easier. There's a grey plastic cover over the bulb which needs to be removed to access the bulb. I found by inserting a small flat screwdriver in the gap just below the apex of the arch of the cover and applying a little pressure the cover pops right off. After installing the new bulb and replacing the grey cover all you have to do is reconnect the wires before inserting assembly back in the door. Hope these tips help!!

For the vanity bulbs you may want to consider sticking to filament bulbs unless you can find an LED retrofit that has a decent Color Rendering Index (CRI). LED's are great for everything else but if you have a bitchy girlfriend who actually spends time on that vanity she's not going to like a low CRI bulb to apply makeup which deals with proper coloring and shading.

Don't use pliers to remove the front bulbs!!! You'll brake it. Remove 2 screws behind the glasses compartment with a Phillips screwdriver and remove the whole overhead console.
