    One thing that bothered me with the new 4 Runner was all the halogens still on the exterior. I went to @Lasfit and wanted to try out their Solid Amber T3-7443A (non-switch back) and man what a difference.

    These were installed on a 2024 Toyota 4 Runner TRD Pro

    As far as being seen and safety if you have hazards on, or just while turning these seem to fit the bill perfectly.

    Quick little how to incase anyone is considering this quick 20min swap for front and rear.
    These little power houses arrived so quick from Lasfit and the packaging was solid to ensure bulbs were not bouncing around.

    Only tools needed for the front is a 10mm socket and ratchet.
    I removed the bottom front 2 inner fender bolts. First upper bolt, and the under bumper to fender liner bolt to be about to move the liner over to access the bulb socket.

    Once moved over you can (with smaller arms reach in and twist the socket to expose the bulb. Replace with the new LED and test using hazard to ensure you don't have to flip 180 degrees due to polarity. Once verified that the light does work, reinstall removed bolts after liner is back in a place and you are done. Repeat on the opposite side.

    Rear is even more simple, other than not much wire to play with with the longer designed LED bulbs.
    All you will need is a trim tool or a flat head screwdriver for the rear.

    There is a little indention on the rear access panels in the cargo area to insert tool. Pop this cover open to expose the turn signals and reverse light sockets.

    Top is the turn signal.

    Test to ensure bump is flashing.

    Reinstall socket and now you are done. Repeat on the opposite side.

    Day Light compare videos are all I have but I cannot get these to load, but what a difference.

    Oooh look, another mod.....

    I did the same upgrade (for the turn signals up front), the rear tail lights were a complete swap to an after market. Here's a video of the after with the switch backs installed on my head lights:

    I upgraded my turn signals, DRLs, and reverse lights to LEDs. Lots of references in here about having to do the wire harness mod for the DRLs, and I had to use turn signal LEDs with built-in resistors to prevent hyperflash. Make sure you have a snug connection on those rear turn signals, I had one of them fall into the housing, so I ended up having to remove the taillight assembly and fish it out.

    Yes sir I definitely made sure to get these pushed in well and a firm connect. Lasfit the T3-7443A was good and firm as well as no hyper flash with these. A great plug and play option.

    I just installed these Lasfit T3 series bulbs in the front and rear positions. I opted for ambers upfront vs the Switchbacks. So far....great upgrade from OEM. Brighter for sure and a more consistent look with the LED headlights/tail lights. I've also installed LED bulbs in the reverse light position.

    Installation is straight forward as described in post #1. I started with the fronts as it seemed more involved with the fender liner. Turned out to be easier than the rear. The rears are easy to access and swap bulbs. Getting the overall larger bulb back in the socket proved to be the most time consuming. Wire length makes it tough to maneuver the bulb into place. An extra 3/4" of wire would have made it easy peasy. That said...take your time and don't force it. I was ready to remove the tail light assembly to install but didn't have a deep enough 10mm socket.

    Next up...LED DRLs!
