Background music was soothing 😌
Glad you think so!!
My 1998 Nissan Frontier had the same push-tabs for the grill - which I also had to remove for headlight lenses and lamps. In the 17 years I had the truck I gave up and mounted the grill with black zip-ties. When I had to change a light bulb?... cut them and replace!
I've been working on Toyotas for 16 years and my favorite thing they do is make a simple clip with so much complexity that you have to take out a handful of them before you figure out how they work, and all they can muster in their repair manual is "Remove 12 clips and 2 bolts."
I never get tired of the credits at the end. It's so funny, and of course, informative.
"You can't possibly fail"... You underestimate my ineptitude! 🤣Great vid as always, and not one broken clip!! (except the ones already broken).
😂😂😂😂😂 thank you!!
I also love to salvage all my clips, screws and usable parts from the old part before discarding it. If you love to keep your automobiles for a long time, it's nice to have these obsolete parts on hand if you ever need them. You need to think ahead when you own older vehicles. Great video.
i can't tell you how much it warms my heart to see that you have a toyota misc hardware drawer in your toolbox. 🤩
HAHA it's essential! I save lots of hardware from my junkyard adventures 😅
Thanks for sharing, Faye! I love each one.
Best part was the "Toyota Spare Parts Bin"... 😂🤣. And the 🐔🐔🐔.😜
😂😂😂
The pull a part is a junkers paradise!! Love mine in kentucky!
Oh heck yeah!
Hi Faye hope you and yours are having a blessed day
To awesome Faye!!! You turn a simple job into a fun time. Your laugh always puts a smile on my face!!!🤘🤘🤘
Awww thank you!!
I came across your channel looking to change just the bulb on the headlight not the entire headlight, but it was such an amazing video. I instantly fell in love with your personality (and you), pairing up with this DIY auto repair video, makes you a must watch. Subscribed.
Always ❤ your enthusiasm to show us how you do it, you rock Faye!
Always helpful no matter what car you own! Thanks Faye! Happy weekend!
Thanks Scott!
Faye you rock!! You don’t do enough of these tutorial videos you make it so understandable and easy to follow. You’re the best!
Thank you 🥲🥲
@@FayeHadley Have to echo Jonathan. Faye you provide great detail on all these things a new 3rd gen 4Runner owner needs to fix up these classics.
Enjoyed watching this. Great to know when I get my own SUV
There are really great colored (amber) 2-way LED turn signal bulbs at auto stores. They are 2 way so no modifications needed. I usually match the color lens with the same color LED- but that's my personal preference.🚙
If you insert the grille clips into the grille first then fit the grille its much easier .
To remove clips from the body simply twist them.
Faye your enthusiasm is absolutely amazing. You're awesome!! Thank you!
I love Your voice and how you expande anything
Always a pleasure to watch you operate Faye :)
Ain't you hot wearing winter hat, I think a fishing hat is best.
Fishing for parts in pick n pull ✌️🤘😎
This footage was from Feb!!!🤣 I just don't have a lot of free time for my own cars ☹️
All of your vids are so good and helpful! Thank you!
Thank you!!!
I just got a 4Runner and your videos are so helpful. I have a hood like that truck.
Heck yes, love the sport hood!!
Fantastic tutorial !
Thank you for adjusting the camera to show up on the small spots. New owner of a '01 4runner. As always looking for to more videos.
Glad it helped! :))
Have a 2001 4-Runner been through 3 sets of headlights over the years. Glass headlights are great because they do not oxidize like plastic headlights, but like Faye's they crack when hit by rocks. When I installed the last set of new headlights I got the clear headlight protective film from Weather tech. The film is crystal clear and cut to fit perfectly, so I believe they will be the last set of headlights in my 4-Runner. Bonus the kit comes with protective film for all of the lights on the front end, turn signal, side marker, and fog lights.
Thanks, Faye! I landed a '98 runner last week and replacement Headlights arrive soon. You make it look so easy. Great job on your videos, definitely earned a subscriber
Great video as always you are very detailed in your work!!!! Keep up the good work lady!!!!!
Thank you for the video. Felt confident enough to try and do it myself after watching 1 time ❤
Heck yes!! You can do it!
Cold morning in Texas? Love the hat.
Haha that was from my trip in February!!😂 I'm just super busy so don't always get around to improving my own vehicles!!😆
👊🏻 get r dun!! And it wouldn’t be a Faye video without some chickens!!! ❤️
Nice Faye I will definitely keep this in mind
I wish junkyards around me were that nice and clean.
I got a crack in my passenger headlight, found this video, bought a pair of replacements and swapped both today. Thank you so much.
Faye in that hat, so cute 😍
Very nice, fun and informative video!! I think there is not car inspection by law every year at Texas/US? Here at north Europe (I live Finland) inspection/MOT is every year so cars are/must be good shape (mostly). Your voice and presence make me relax and calm down and I like it! Cheers!
Don't you just love those Hella horns!
Yes!
Tank girl on the move
I suggest putting amber bulbs in the front corner lights.
Another great tutorial Faye!!
Question 4 U? 🙋🏽♂️
What LED bulbs are you running in those stock housings…. how is the light output and heat?
What were those washer things you placed on the battery posts? 🤔
Have a great weekend!! 🐔🐔
The lights are linked in my bio, and they are very bright and annoying to others 😆 they don't get hot because they have built-in fans. You can hear the fans when I turn them on in the video! And those are battery felts, they help to prevent corrosion! You can find them for $0.99 at most auto parts stores!
@@FayeHadley Always wondered what those disc were called too. Lol. Battery felts huh.
You always make it look so easy..great job!
Thanks TJ!!
Very cool Faye dear.
I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE HELP YOU PROVIDED FOR US TO FIX OUR CARS YOU ARE A VERY GOOD TECHNICIAN AND A GREAT TEACHER 👍 😀 😊 ❤ ❤❤❤THANKS SO MUCH GOOD GOOD JOB I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU DO THANKS AGAIN BIG BEAR EOC YOU PLEASE BE CAREFUL OUT THERE THANKS
Thank you Faye! You helped on changing trans fluid on 07 fj cruser
Nicely done Faye 👌👌👌
beautiful to see a woman working in mechanics, congratulations
great!! Nice video Faye, thanks
I had to do almost as much to change the bulb in my 2015 GMC SIERRA.
I love pull a part they are so organized here in Arizona
Nothing like Boneyard therapy 😌
Good as used
Keep it up faye.
Thanks.
i am the first to comment! HI! thanks for the video. would of been useful 3 months ago when I broke my headlight. very detailed video! awesome.
Faye's Sound effects 😅☝️💚🔰👽🐔
😂😂😂😂😂
Great content, love your personality.
Thanks for sharing this video, very interesting video
Love it as always ❤️
Keep up the great content 🤙
Not helpful because I don't own a Toyota but very entertaining..you made it look easy..
You are so enjoyable! Thank you
Awesome video like always 😎
Thanks 😋
@@FayeHadley no problem , keep up the great work .
Suer helpful, Thanks!
Muy buena la explicación, clara y directa ..me ayudo muchísimo 👍👍👍...un saludo desde La Paz- Bolivia
Your awesome 👌....easy instructions......
Woulda been nice to mention killing the honda radio sooner than at the end . Great info . Great video
awesome video, learned more than i came for.
did that hood scoop come with that model, or was it from a different truck?
am actually looking at taking the front end/hood off my 00 sport edition and putting it on a 97 tacoma. looks like it should bolt up.
also, idk where you learned to do what you do, but i have NEVER once in my life had a mechanic reset the clock and radio stations, that is simply a step above what i am accostomed to. no joke, the time we took our truck in for about 5k in repairs, it came back with a broken radio! lol.
Correct me if I’m wrong but this is the same 4Runner that you rescued from the wrecking yard, right?
YES!!!
I was always surprised that someone would leave something like that at a salvage yard. Most people just don’t know how to turn a wrench and keep up maintenance. You’ll get a lot of service out of that ride!
You rock
Im mad with TH-cam. It hasnt sent me your channel notifications! I have missed alot.😫
Oh no! Glad to see you back!!
she's got some good skills
Shouldn’t there be a rubber boot thingamagigger on the back of the headlight assembly to seal the back off?
Yes! They disintegrate here in the Texas heat though... For all the benefits of the rust free life, we have other weird ways that our cars age down here! 😆 The new assy had one, and when I went to remove it to install the bulb it cracked and fell apart ☹️ I need to buy new!!!
@@FayeHadley yeah one of the nice things about Canada is the soft rubber or plastic parts on cars survives really well. Rust is a major issue though. If you listen closely on a quiet night you can hear the cars rusting.
Can you make a video on which way to turn the bolt on back of headlight when trying to aim them down?
Damn guess it won’t get past you if I try to claim my extension is 10 inches 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Can you do a video on properly aiming the headlights? Please
You are awesome 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
I also have a 1998 4runner and the stock headlamps are crazy dim. What are the LEDs you upgraded to? Do you like them?
I love them! They were just cheap O'Reilly's Chinese stuff but I've had them for 2 years now! Flawless! And by "cheap" I think I paid $90 for the pair??
I just inherited a '98 3rd Gen 4Runner, so i've been looking to fix some of these very things you cover in such great detail and simplicity. You are very helpful, Faye and give me a lot of ideas and insight. I've been junkyard diving for some replacement Enkei center caps - apparently the 3rd Gen ones are super rare and hard to find for any one - and the aftermarket Toyota center caps do not fit... i've tried and returned two different sets. Any ideas or good replacements that you can think of? Or any way to mod the OEM or aftermarket versions? The Enkei wheels are in great shape, just need the center caps to make them really pop. Now that I think about it, the original owner probably sold those center caps for $200 a piece on Ebay :|
Actually, my set is from Amazon! Granted, I have the sequoia wheels, but the replicas without the Toyota logo on the middle have done well for me! I also got 2 spares from my local salvage yard! And thanks so much for the kind words, this literally keeps me going!!! 🥹🙏🏻
Are those real glass or plastic headlights. My 90s Corolla had glass headlights and never turned dull !!!
Glass!!!😀👍🏻
@@FayeHadley The best, they don’t make them like that anymore no turning dull !!!
Faye, I need your help. I have p1300 on my 4runner, bit I cant seem to find anything online on where this ignition coil is located. You able to locate:/?
I just did mine. Are you still in SA? Btw Any thoughts on putting TRD wheels on it?
🐔 🙌🏻
Are these headlight housings adjustable?
I tried to comment on a post but it said it was agent guidelines or spam I hope you don't mind me messaging you . I have a 97 4runner that I'm doing a 99+ center console and radio bezel swap on and I was wondering if you found a place to get the electrical pins for the connector at that won't brake the bank . Thx in advance
Honestly I order them from the dealership if I can't find them from a junkyard!! I highly recommend hitting your local salvage yard and grabbing them in bulk!
What did you replace your headlight bulbs with? My light output sucks! I tried your link but it doesn't work.
Great video along with explaining the walk through R&R process. Side note, a females voice makes the process much more soothing.
Those red horns weren’t they an upgrade you did when it was on AGG 🤨
No I had put them on prior to the show but yes-- they were there on the show!!!!
Quick question, what have you done or thought of doing for your catalytic converter. straight pipe grim or put a cat security Cause i recently had my cats stolen.
I haven't had to worry about my catalytic converters getting stolen since I left Portland!!😆 But yeah, their original to the truck, so I know that eventually they'll go. I'm with you, I'm not replacing them 🤣 I've been wanting an exhaust anyways, so I'll probably make a video about it when the time comes and upgrade to something that sounds amazing 😄😄😄
👍👍😍😍
How much different is a 2012 2nd Gen Headlight to a 3rd Gen headlight (besides the obvious Halogens of the 2012)?
did you hear that the new gen Tacoma will not have the reliable V6.. instead it will have a turbocharged 4 cylinder.
Yes I'm really disappointed ☹️ i'm trying to embrace it as a throwback to the old 4cyl 22re pickups... But alas.
@@FayeHadley maybe Toyota will make the internal stronger to hold up to the pressure of the turbo? Also if they use port and direct injection they won't have to worry about the valves
Where can I find a side marker socket ? My bulb keeps falling out
Dorman makes a socket replacement!! You can find the most O'Reilly Auto Parts!
👾👍🏻 love that hat.
Haha thank you!
hello I want to know how to change the fuel pressure regulator in Toyota 4 runner. Thanks
You’re so cute! Your vibe is great!
Thank you so much!!
So let me get this right🤔 ,I have to pull the grill and entire head light assembly out to adjust the head light ? 😳,
But won't you need to adjust the beams again? Who knows where they could be pointing
That moment you realize it will never work between you and Faye because she is a human and you is a camera....
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My next cat's name is going to be Itsfay...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
