Your 3rd gen 4Runner deserves better than faded factory housings and weak halogen output.
The new 4R Customs LED Headlights for the 1996–2002 Toyota 4Runner completely modernize the front end while dramatically improving nighttime visibility on the road and trail. Designed specifically for the 3rd gen platform, these headlights feature a stealth black housing, integrated LED daytime running lights, sequential amber turn signals, startup animation sequence, and upgraded LED side marker lighting for a clean modern OEM+ look.
The large LED halo projector delivers powerful output with a crisp beam pattern that massively outperforms aging factory headlights. Whether you’re driving canyon roads at night, heading to camp before sunrise, or building a full overland rig, these lights transform the look and functionality of your 4Runner.
Unlike many cheap aftermarket housings flooding the market, these were built with proper sealing and weather protection in mind. Moisture intrusion is one of the biggest complaints in the aftermarket lighting world, so we focused heavily on gasket quality, venting, and housing sealing to create a headlight we’d confidently run on our own rigs.
The sequential amber turn signal paired with the startup sequence gives the truck a modern appearance without looking overdone, while the black housing pairs perfectly with aggressive 3rd gen builds, overland rigs, and factory paint colors alike.
If you're building a clean OEM+ daily driver or a fully built trail truck, these are one of the best visual upgrades you can make to the front end of a 3rd gen 4Runner.
