- We swap out headlight housings on our #ToyotaRAV4 build to keep things a little more uniform and to match the rest of the car.
Switching headlight housings is really easy and you don’t need many tools to do the job, just a little patience and about an hours worth of time in your driveway.
The headlights we chose are extremely cheap Amazon headlights and truthfully I don’t know how long they are going to last but at least they don’t fill with condensation like the ones I made.
If you have any questions on the swap or how to do it drop it on the commments and lets us know.
Headlights we purchased:

Thank you so much, bought a sh*t box rav4 as my first car and so far there are major issues due to lack of maintenance but after I get those dealt with and a new stereo put in because the cut the wires on the original stereo then I’m getting some headlights so this is going to be a massive help.
Fantastic video & fantastic channel🙌
Keep up the great work and Happy 2024!!
Thank you very much!
Very sharp. They really suit the magnetic grey metallic! 3M makes a pretty decent butyl tape for headlights, in the event that these don’t work out, or if you choose to repair your original retrofitted with projectors.
Never thought a RAV4 could look good 👍👍
Thank you!! These cars are so underrated
Just picked up a 2011 Rav4... These headlights will be the first Mod 😃
This is such a versatile vehicle. I currently have a 2014 sequoia and a 2012 v6 rav4. I was wondering your mpg with the new wheels/tires set up.
New cars do come with LEDs over HIDs. If u by a quality bulb they’ll last just as long as an HID. Been running them in my WJ everytime I drive day or night.
Oh man
While you had the bumper off, you should’ve put some Hella super tone horns in there !!!!
That’s what I did they’re a blast
Ahaha you're right
cat is like, "who tf u talkin to?"
Hi. I just installed the exact headlights using your video. Would you be able to recommend specific bulbs? Thanks
I did install HID's into them. They are okay, but not awesome.
Cool video I had a 07 RAV4 Sport they good Toys 🎉
Very fun little zippers
Currently selling my 3rd gen Tacoma and wanting to downgrade and I have been eyeing this. Can’t wait to see you more mods. I can’t seem to find “off-road or overland bumpers”
When I get home. Off-road testing is top on my list
I dont consider that a downgrade. 3 gen rav4 with awd v6 are retaining their value. I offered someone full private party price and they declined. They ended up selling it a couple days later.
@@racer7007 yeah I sold my Tacoma, still searching for a 3rd gen RAV4. Really hard to find a decent one that isn’t too expensive. Ideal would be a 2012 rav4 limited v6 awd however can’t find any for sale lol. I’m waiting until September to buy one.
@@Pattyinthewoods Oh I get you. I was getting impatient and was considering getting a 2wd for a bit but thankfully that urge went away haha
@@racer7007 yeah I was considering the i4 instead of v6
Missing the link to the headlights, and my rav4 2011 has another front , sen it on vanguard model. Will these headlights fit? 😊
They sold out sadly. :( but here’s an option: amzn.to/3Vz8RMv
What would be a good pair of aviation snips to use if I wanted to cut the metal piece?! Thanks
Honestly any pair would be good. I used a little cutting wheel and it zipped off no problem
@@CoolGuyClub gotcha. Didn't know if I needed a specific one that was rated to cut a specific gauge.
I just got a v6 limited, what grill did you purchase? Looking for an all black.
This is just the stock sport grill.
Did they last? Seen some on Amazon had problems with clear coat or moisture getting inside
They have had moisture in them since day one. But it is less moisture than the ones I built myself so we aren’t that bothered by it
Did you buy the ones with bulbs on amazon?
And are the fogs you got yellow or clear?
Yes indeed
They are yellow
Have you guys had any issues with condensation since install?
Yes. One light has totally failed and is full of condensation. However for $100 these lights are almost cheaper than the bulbs in them. I’ll get a new set and reseal
@@CoolGuyClub okay thanks for the update. I just got a 2011 V6 and like what you guys did, looks sick!
You gotta clear coat new headlight housings or they will get cataracts fast
I did off camera with the 3M coating
Poop paterns are the worst!
Indeed!
