    Hey guys, Im a newcomer to the forums and to 4runners. I have a 2005 Pacific Blue 4runner and Ive been trying to find LED headlights that fit the 2003-2005 models before they switch the bottom of the headlight trim piece. Does anyone have a good website or recommendations for lights or where I can find the bottom trim piece for the 2006-2009?

    I recommend sticking with high quality halogen bulbs. Even with the 06-09 projectors LED's aren't very good. I ran LED's for about a year in my '08 and finally swapped to H9 halogens for my low beams instead. The falloff of brightness at distance for LED's in these headlights is terrible. There's a really great thread on TacomaWorld about using LED's in the Tacoma projectors and it's quite informative.

    Appreciate the help. Mine is still pretty stocky at the moment, I just got TRD wheels in matte grey and a 3 inch lift so I hope that helps it out, but I was wondering where I could find the fillers. Thanks for the help!
