5th Gen BXBuilt Retrofit Headlights
Retrofitting a 5th Gen 4Runner can seem intimiating at first. We make your life easier by providing a detailed installation video as well as links to products and tools that are verified to work perfectly. The links we use are from Amazon, so you can rest assured that you will receive the parts in a timely manner with an excellent return policy.
You will need these resisters if you choose to go with LED switchback turn signal corner bulbs. These resisters will fix the fast blinking problem that will occur when you upgrade to LEDS. You only need two of these to fix both of the headlights, then you will have two extra if you ever want to upgrade your tailights.
These bulbs replace your corner turn signal bulbs in your retrofit kit or stock housings. They are extremely bright! Please note that you will need the resisters listed above to prevent them from blinking fast. The 4Runner at normal power thinks the bulb is out due to LEDs requiring less power. These fix that situation quickly.
These wire strippers are great for many projects, including headlight installation projects. I found that these are comfortable during extended use and seem to crimp the wires better than other sets that I have used.
This is one of my favorite tools in the garage. They make life easier when working on electrical connections and save your hands from getting raw. They can cut nearly any sized wire that is commonly used in a car or truck. You will thank me later if you end up purchasing these.
Every garage should have a grommet set. This kit includes all of the common grommet sizes. You will need 2 of these to fill the hole that you may decide to drill in the back of your headlight cap to make your new retrofits 100% waterproof.
This kit includes everything you need to wire your BXBuilt retrofits. I ended up running low on the red open ended connectors for this job, so you may want to consider ordering more of those in addition to this overall kit.
Alla Lighting LED fog light bulbs for your 2014-2020 4Runner. We run this kit on our 2017 TRD PRO. These 6000K bulbs match with the recommended LED low and high beam bulbs that we recommend. They can be purchased easily on Amazon with free shipping and come with a hassle free return process for peace of mind.
Assorted color electrical wire is needed for a few aspects of the BXBuilt installation. You will need to run wire into your 4Runner for the on/off dash switch. You will also likely want to extend your wires and waterproof seal your housings. This wire will work for that and other projects, as you will have leftovers.
We decided to add these in addition to the BiLED setup that we ordered from BXBuilt. The BiLEDs are more than enough to light up the road, but these give that extra little bit that puts them entirely over the top. NOTE: You will need the 9005 splitter listed below to run these.
These 9005 (1) female to (2) male splitters will allow you to run high beam LED bulbs in your normal highbeam location in addition to the BiLED bulbs that will be in the stock low beam location of your BXBuilt kit.
A good pry tool is important to have in the garage. You will see this tool feature when we remove the bumper of our 4Runner as well as the valence and headlight clips.
This is the smaller version of the impact featured in the video. It works great for jobs like the BXBuilt retrofit install. If you plan to use it to take off wheels and what not you may want to upgrade to the mid torque version.
This impact set is rated for impact drivers. You will want to buy a set of these if you are purchasing the Milwaukee Impact Driver. The kit includes nearly every size that you will find yourself using regularily.
We love this creeper. It will save your back when you are changing the oil, transmission fluid, differential fluid, and of course when installing headlights. If you do not own one and work on your vehicles often, then do yourself a favor and pick this up.
There are a few types of Toyota switch designs. Be careful not to buy the wrong one! This size fits perfectly, and although it says “LED Light Bar”, we decided to use it due to the fast shipping and availability. Feel free to shop for other text options.
This is the drill bit attachment that we used to drill through the headlight cap. By drilling the cap and adding a grommet, we made our headlights 100% waterproof. They look extremely professional to boot!
Wire loom helps to make messy wiring jobs clean! You will have a handful of ground wires that will need to be cleaned up for a professional look. This wire loom will do the trick. You will have leftovers for your next project as well.
