    Anyone know if someone makes an LED switchback for the LED Low / Halogen High 4Runners?

    I have a 2021 with the halogen DRL/High beam and thought it would be nice to have a yellow or amber DRL that switches to white when high beams are needed - although, my halogens are pretty much yellow DRL's anyway :). I've emailed VLED to see if they know of anything since they make a kit that works with the 2021 layout without flickering, just thought I'd ask here in case someone knows of another option.

    There’s fog light options for that but haven’t seen bulb options. Not sure I would want anything yellow for my main lighting even if you can switch them.

    Borracho Loco on the forum might have lasfit switchbacks.

    I have Lasfits in my 2011 to replace those crappy halogen hi and low beams.


    Lasfit LED LA AIR 9005 100W Series | 10,000LM 6000K LED high beam bulbs

    Auxbeam H11 LED amber fog light bulb 3000K, 12000LM

    Lasfit LED LA AIR H1170W Series | 7,000LM 6000K LED Low beam bulbs

    LOOOOOVE them!!!

    Oooh look, another mod.....

    I do have them, but for my turn signals. I haven't messed with my DRL's or high/lo beams. I think the 2023's came with LED hi's and low's. I never run my DRL's because I keep my headlights turned on at all times.

    Thanks everyone. Yeah, the 2021 seems kind of an odd duck with the LED low beam and separate halogen bulb pulling double duty for high beams & DRL’s. I saw the yellow to white LED switchbacks for turn signals and thought maybe something similar existed for the DRL/High bulb.

    If nothing else, I’ll probably go with the VLED specific DRL/High Beam kit that has lower DRL output in white and full output when highs are activated.

    I agree. The OEM bulb for the turn signal is a 5 Watt Bulb. Yes, you read that right...It's a FIVE WATT BULB.

    Here's what it looks like with switch backs:
