    Excellent video. So helpful. I could not figure out how to pull the old map light bulbs out until I watched your video. I ended up using a small piece of duct tape as it was stickier. I just replaced all my interior bulbs on my 2016 4Runner after watching this video and it was so easy following your demonstration. The hardest part for this 67 year old woman was getting down on the ground and back up after replacing the door bulbs! 🙂

    You're a great teacher!! You saved me lots of headaches this morning on my 2023 Limited 😁! Yes, they still have all incandescent bulbs 🙄, except for the glove box, foot wells and door handles. I did have to resort to using pliers on the map light bulbs though, my sausage fingers could not get the tape deep enough around the bulbs. All came out great though! Thank you! 👍👍

    I just put 5K VLEDs in my '21 4Runner. Your instructions are spot on. FYI, the same LED is used for the map lights, vanity lights, and door lights. Another LED is used for the dome light and the rear hatch lights. I had a hard time getting the dome light to seat properly and accidently separated the dome light receptacle from the grey frame. Finally got it working but I'm still wish the led module fit more secure in the holes.

    This video was a blessing for me! I would like to one point. When prying on the covers for the door lights look for the arrow on the cover. The arrow points to the clip.

    Well done video. I used the universal tool to take out map lights, duct tape. I had trouble with putting in the dome light bulb , the metal tips kept slipping on the contacts. I used a small needle nose pliers with a gentle touch and it went straight on!

  • @jeffmontgomery4102
    @jeffmontgomery4102 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great video! Pro tip, on the door light lens, there's a small arrow on one side, that's the side with the clip. It makes it very easy to pop the assembly out. Keep up the great videos!

  • @lostbearabq

    Thanks for the tape tip! I used packing tape and it worked great! I had seen others use painters tape or needle nose but neither of those were working for me.

  • @haterunning
    @haterunning 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If you pop out the multi terrain selection area there are two screws that will let you remove the entire control panel from the ceiling. Then you have very easy access to the back of the bulbs and they just twist right out.

    Just installed this kit today. Seem to be really good quality leds. One snag I had was one of the metal clips on the hatch lights popped off and fell inside. Had to pull the whole cover loose to retrieve it.

    • @T4Rgarage
      @T4Rgarage  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah mine are running strong after over a year. Glad you were able to retrieve the clip, gotta hate it when a 10min job turns into a 30 min job

  • @SammifromMiami
    @SammifromMiami 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Thanks, this is the best tutorial I found on how to change the original bulbs to LED. The tips on how to disassemble the door lights was great, I couldn’t figure it out on my own and didn’t want to break them. Question though, how snuggly were your bulbs fitting, especially the map lights? Mine worked, but were kinda loose. I couldn’t get them to push in and get that snug tight fit.

    • @T4Rgarage
      @T4Rgarage  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great video, everything went smooth except the driver side map light. I got the halogen bulb out, but when trying to plug in the LED, the socket (aka female end) retreated into the panel! It is now loose and jiggling around up there. Are there any videos on how to remove that whole panel? Thanks!

  • @Member_1115

    @T4R Garage ... Another great video, thanks for sharing the knowledge. How well do the liftgate lights illuminate into the cargo area with these VLEDS? I can never seem to get enough light in there (after 3 different brand of LED upgrades) when the liftgate is open. Still searching for some very strong LED's to install.

    • @T4Rgarage
      @T4Rgarage  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The location of the lights, by design, isn’t the greatest. They illuminate more outside of the cargo area than inside. Toyota really should have added another dome light for the cargo area. These LEDs are much brighter than stock though and do help quite a bit

    Wonder is you could put some foil on the inside of the door ones to reflect the light from the leds that are hidden to get a little more light out of it?
