Building the Worlds Brightest Quad Projector Headlights on my 3rd Gen 4Runner

- Today’s video will be showing the entire process of building out this set of 3rd Gen 4runner headlights. I’ve spent the past few months going through countless iterations trying to find the perfect way to get these projectors to fit in this small housing but the final product is well worth it. It’s a long one so buckle in!
UPDATE!!! These quad projector headlights now use the latest biLED projectors. I have found them to be brighter, more reliable and a LOT cheaper. That means I can now start selling fully built headlights at a much more reasonable price.

FYI I’m almost done with an LED Projector variant of this quad projector setup if you are interested. It actually has quite a brighter hotspot with maybe slightly less width, but that’s what fog lights are for anyways. Plus it’s significantly cheaper with much less wiring. I’ll have fully built setups available soon as well! Keep on eye out on the Instagram channels for updates @snowboundcustoms or @snowboundt4r
your definitely not the first to do the QUAD lights but its nice Drake Kelch from PROJECT 4RUNNER know DK FILMS WHEN HE LIVED IN REDDING CA in 2017 is the that i know of th-cam.com/video/5QM8u0MCUF0/w-d-xo.html .... ps where's the link to the H4 SPLITER.
@@mattg8787 looks like he just put in some light pods though and those aren’t gonna give a nice cutoff like for the streets
Hey you got some links to the led swap?
@@SnowboundCustoms Also definitely follow this guy people like him make inspiration for other people possible.
Any updates?
Super sicmods bro 😎
Thanks Sean!
We’ll time to do It to my 4Runner
PHENOMENAL tutorial man - fully appreciate the hours and detail that you put into this. I don’t even own a 4Runner and I found myself watching the entire thing, haha
Keep up the great videos and you’ll skyrocket in subscribers ✊✊
You have probably my most favorite 4-Runner I've seen to date. Not just 3rd gen, but in general. Rock on!!! 🤘❤️🔥
Appreciate all the effort and the video Casey
That is just badass!! Love the clarity and precision of these lights. Great videography too!!
I have my 3rd gen and i just got led bi-led projectors and im tackling this project and watching your video you make look easy. A guy feels confident on doing this. And i saw the whole thing without skipping any part of it.
Q tips work amazing for applying jb weld Smoothly
Good work! The brightness is so much more! Keeping 35 vs 50 is better.for the long haul. Man. You know you stuff! 👍
38:10 what the family of 4 sees at sonic when I pull up
Great video. I was always skeptical on trying something like this myself but you made it seem easy. I’ll have to do this when I get another 3rd gen
Nice work on the video, Casey!
That video is badass! Thank you!!
Looks dope
Omg at the amount of Throw
A Plastic Syringe also works great for applying JB Weld
Cool 3D printed projector alignment part you designed! Very impressive. Kind of want to try knocking out a design for my first gen tundra, but I think for me a single Morimoto LED projector retrofit will be good enough.
Man this was a great tutorial. I’ve had 2 3rd gens and they both got HID upgrades (built by me) the first was just the ACME Super H1 and that was 100% better than my halogens, the latest is the D2s 5.0 but I’m always wanting more. This kit may be my answer. Looks clean as hell.
Super cool I'm currently making a dual Lazer projectors for all my lights on my 2004 VW Touareg so I will probably make the same crazy first in the world Touareg with quad Lazer projectors :) so this was rly helpful thank u
Good luck!
i want a rundown on those led array corner lights...
I need this!
In short awesome tutorial👍
I’ll call tomorrow re-order.
Too tight to get a light shroud for drl angel eyes or outer light bars inside housing, just to remind me what to ask tomorrow.
Excellent video 👍🙋🏻♂️
I have the morimoto d2s Projectors on MY 3rd gen 4runner But mine is a single projector high low beam morimoto hids Never seen a dual Projector Setup that is cool
Great video! Takes the fear out of tackleing this project.
Any info on the new updated version?
Unable to start because the kit in the link is unavailable.
Thanks!!
I just put fully built and DIY kits for the new updated version of this headlight on the website! snowboundcustoms.shop/collections/headlights
Omg I just gotta have this for my 00 4RNR!!! I can watch this video 100 times and still won’t get it right 😂.
Need a kit like this for my 1st gen Tacoma
Very nice
Single projector your removing is dope did you keep them or are you willing to sell them
Please do a walkthrough of your entire rig, I want my 02 setup just like that yours is beautiful
I have one! It’s my first video but it’s a little awkward because it was my first time on camera
What was the exact set up you used from the website so many options and I like how yours looked
Applying JB weld to the backside only would have been more than enough. And applying a clear sealant to the inside would've gave it a cleaner look.
Jesus Christ that’s awesome. You need to start making these for sale. I’d drop 1200 easily on those!
I actually just put them back up on the website. DIY Kits are $550 including the projectors and fully built is $1200. I've been spending the past months creating fixtures to make the process easier. It took too much labor to justify selling them before, but now I have the process dialed in a lot more! It still takes a lot of time though haha
If you guys are able to make a quad projector setup for the 4th gen, I'm snatching em up. I saw the TikTok and my god its gorgeous
Nice video bro. Following.
Thank you!
We're did you get everything for this quad retrofit?
from what ive read you can use various products like oven cleaner to remove the chrome instead of sanding it off
Just looked it up and that may be a good method to use! What you saw in my video is just what I’ve been doing for years and definitely not the most correct way. Just something that worked for me. I’ll have to try the oven cleaner method another time
@@SnowboundCustoms ive also read folks using shaving cream or mean green but not sure how any of them actually work
I can vouch for the oven cleaner, just use a can of Easy Off, it dissolves the chrome finish within about 10-15 minutes.
Didn't find a H4 Splitter link
Interested in the kit, but the link gives me a 404 error. Great video!
Can you make one for a 1st gen Tacoma?
Great mod. I have the bx built projectors from TEQ customs but my passenger side is always shaking, no matter how many times I have tried to tighten it. I wonder if that drill jig will work on a 1st gen tacoma?
It won’t work (I think). I’ll try to make a separate one that works with Tacomas. And ya, it probably shakes because there isn’t much surface area for the projector to clamp onto the factory housing. I made these holders a very tight fit so it fully encompasses the bottom of the projector and they’re pretty rock solid in there with 0 shaking
Any updates on the led?
Excellent!
Great video 👍🏽
I’m thinking of doing this mod and keeping it chrome. Know if anyone has used a clear epoxy instead of JB weld?
Sorry for the delayed response! I've built a few sets since this video and found that you don't need to add JB Weld on the inside. It's plenty strong with it just on the backside out of sight.
So the way its wired is 4 low beams at one time then 4 High Beams when there on wow super bright
Yes correct! sorry for the delayed response
@@SnowboundCustoms very cool I was interested In buying a set But never got a response
Does the headlight assembly fog up easily
Bro’s light vs 5 duramax diesel with country boy drivers at a friday night on a freeway. I wonder who would win? 😂😂😂
I have sealight led bulbs in a 3rd and 4th gen 4Runner it’s 100 times brighter than these lights and doesn’t blind anyone. I never get flashed.
So end result;
Both low/high beams are on at the same time while lights are on?
Is it possible to have outer diameter light rings to potentially aid turn signal or only dusk parking lights installed!
You’re only using morimoto mini’s?
Can you provide a X comparison;
LED vs HID to compare light throw/quality.
Thank you, nice video.
I am working 55+ hours a week, so might build pre order.
Cheers
Hi, I was using the morimoto Micro D2S with 55W. In the end I’ve stopped selling these HIDs in replacement of the new LED projectors I have now. The LEDs are brighter, less expensive and much reliable that what I was getting with the morimoto. In regards to halos, I don’t add them to lights anymore like I did in the last. They are really all too dim to be using on a vehicle as a turn signal if it’s bright outside, and you can’t see them at nighttime either because the projectors would be turned on. Oh and also yes, all 4 lights work together at the same time for both low beam and high beam!
I wonder if this is possible with 98-00 1st gen tacoma housings. They’re similar but the 4Runner is a bit longer
I don’t think so. If anything it MIGHT work on the 01-04. But 98-00 seem too small
Any update on led varient I'm interested in seeing the difference
I’ll have an update soon on my IG page. I went through a lot of effort to find some top of the line LED projectors. The crazy thing is that these 2.5” LEDs are quite a bit brighter than the full size 3” HIDs. I guess LED tech has improved a lot over the last couple of years!
The LED variants are now out on the website. They are quite a bit better now. : snowboundcustoms.shop/collections/headlights
Whare i got it from
Just looked on your website for this kit. Do you not offer it anymore?
I just added DIY and fully built kits to the website with the new revised version! snowboundcustoms.shop/collections/headlights
The link for the kit is gone. I would love to do this on mine.
Just updated the link! It was down while I revised these headlights. Here is the new link: snowboundcustoms.shop/collections/headlights
Is this still available, the link does not work
that looks amazing! Beat any led headlights in terms of brightness. what i like was , it light up 3 lanes on a freaking highway😁I bet it can do 4 no problem.
Any idea if there is room to do this to a 2001 Tacoma?
Those headlights are too small I think
@@SnowboundCustoms Thanks for the reply! Single ones they'll be.
Do you have another link to this kit? The one in your description is not working…
I’ve temporarily removed the product. I’m making two new versions. HID version will be gone. The new ones will be LED projectors because the new ones are actually a good bit brighter and cost a LOT less, and a LED projector + Baja Designs Squadron version of it!
@@SnowboundCustoms when will it be available? I’ll be buying the kit the day it drops. I’m doing a full rebuild right now and will be moving to all the lights shortly.
Hi @@aaronwaddell595, sorry for the delay! I only just now added the new LED version of this to the website
I wonder what the POV is like from oncoming drivers
It looks just same as the lights on most modern cars so it isn’t blinding from their perspective. Of course that’s until you go over a hill crest and then ya it could blind someone depending on how low you have the lights angles
@@SnowboundCustoms thanks
he is now ready to tackle on the duramax and chevy bois hahaha. sick mods 😂💪
Are these no longer available? 😢
They will be available again. I’m just trying to get prebuilt sets made instead of the DIY
@@SnowboundCustoms Super excited to see them.
@@SnowboundCustoms will the DIY option return as well?
@@s14tan both options are now on the website!
This setup not easy to replace the hid bulbs because you have to remove the mounting plate when a bulb dies
link for kit is broken. 404.
Link is fixed now! I took it down while I was updating the headlights with the latest projectors (brighter and more reliable!)
Looking to do this mod but the links are not working. Help!
They are not on the website atm. Revising it to be LED projector compatible because it’s much more affordable, less parts and brighter
They are back on the website! Sorry for the delay
🥵🥵🥵
👍👍👍👌👌👌🇸🇦💯💯💯
Jesus Christ that’s awesome. You need to start making these for sale. I’d drop 1200 easily on those!
