    I just want to put the stock bulbs back in my 97' 4runner. The former owner replaced them with something that is actually worse. Is there anywhere I can buy them without paying an arm and a leg?

    Wait this will fit on a 98' right? I checked on autotrader and they said it was incompatible. It wouldn't surprise me if they were wrong.

    On my 2002 (which I bought new in 2002), I just use the standard cheap Sylvanias from Autozone over the years. They have been exactly the same as the stock Toyota ones. When I changed the first bulb, it looked no different than the other TOYOTA bulb. I've probably change 3 bulbs in 18 years...so they last just fine.
