The Best Headlights for Your Toyota 4Runner
The Best Headlights for Your Toyota 4Runner
Everyone knows that Toyota does great things for their vehicles, with 4Runners and Tacomas that will last for years without any issues. But, one necessity they do not do very well in is their headlights and fog lights. Toyota uses halogen headlights for their 4Runners, which works by heating up a filament in the bulb to produce light. They are cheap to produce and provide a soft, warm yellow light. These headlights are not enough for anyone who loves their 4Runner. DRZ Offroad headlights and fog lights are the best aftermarket parts for your 4th or 5th generation 4Runner. With an amazing crystal white light and a bulb that actually is supposed to fit your 4Runner, DRZ Offroad is the place to go.
Yes Gentlemen, Size Does Matter
DRZ Offroad reengineered the typical LED headlight for your 4Runner. Typical LED headlights are made to be a “One Size Fits All” for most cars. Toyota 4Runners are the exception. The housing of the 4Runner headlight simply does not allow for any normal LED headlight to fit and work well. The low beam headlight housing is sphere of reflectors at a 45 degree angle that allow light to be bounced off every side. Halogen bulbs were made for the the bulb is clear and allow light to pass through without obstructing it. However, normal LEDs are mostly over 2 cm wide! They obstruct the light, creating a beam that can sometimes be even weaker than the halogen! But DRZ Offroad has created a 4Runner headlight bulb so small that it allows for a much brighter output of light than a halogen or LED light. But more on that later.
1-The headlight projector of the 4Runner is built at a 45° angle. I’m not sure why but we gotta make do with it. The projector was made for a stock halogen, and the bulb allows the light to pass through it because it is clear. The light output is a warm light, and is simply not enough for any person who loves their vehicle.
2-DRZ Offroad’s LED bulb produces a bright white light, and because of the size of the head, 5mm, and the 4 sides that light projects from, it works the same way the stock bulb does, while producing a brighter light.
3-On the other hand, many standard LED headlight have a wide bulb (+2cm) with two or three sides of light. The bulb blocks most of the light produced by itself, creating a dimmer, uneven light that can be even worse than the stock halogen bulb. What’s the point of buying a new LED bulb if it does not even work for your vehicle?
