When choosing new headlights, you should refer to your owner&rsquo;s manual to determine the best type for your 4Runner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Halogen Headlights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Halogen headlights use halogen gas mixed with tungsten-halogen filaments to generate light. They are the most popular type of headlights because they are cheaper than LED and xenon headlights. One downside of having halogen headlights, however, is that they have a shorter lifespan compared to other headlight types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LED Headlights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Newer vehicle models usually have LED lights installed. LED headlights are more expensive than halogen headlights, but they are energy efficient. High-quality LED headlights can last years without the need for replacement, and they&rsquo;re also easy to retrofit and upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Xenon Headlights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-xenon-headlights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Xenon\">Xenon<\/a> or high-density discharge (HID) lights do not use a metal filament to produce light. HID lights are filled with xenon gas which ignites to make a white or bluish shade of light. They are usually found in high-end vehicles. Xenon headlights can last for years because they have no filament that can burn out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do All Toyota 4Runners have LED Headlights?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020, Toyota announced that all new 4Runner vehicles will have LED headlights as standard equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/vehicle\/2021\/toyota\/4runner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"2021 Toyota 4Runner\">2021 Toyota 4Runner<\/a> comes equipped with LED lights at all trim levels.

These include LED low beam headlights, fog lights, and tail lights. LED high beams are only available on specific 2021 trims (Limited, Nightshade Edition, TRD Pro).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are LED or Halogen Headlights Brighter?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>LED headlights are brighter than halogen headlights. They also cast a wider pattern, use less energy, and last longer. While both types of lighting depend on the electricity from the vehicle, how they emit light differs. Halogen bulbs use a filament made of tungsten, while LEDs use semiconductors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan to go for 4Runner LED lights, be sure to get one that meets the safety regulations set by the Department of Transportation (DOT). High-quality LED headlights should also have sturdy housings with efficient heat sinks, ensuring that they last long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are 4-Sided LED Headlights Better?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No, 4-sided LED headlights are not particularly better than other headlight types. Multisided LED headlights can become misaligned with the polished surfaces of the housing, affecting how the light is cast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When shopping for headlights, you should look at their maximum luminous flux. This is the intensity of the light source as it hits or passes through a surface. You should also prioritize bulbs that allow for precision alignment and come with a focused and clear narrow beam pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Just Put LED Lights in My Car?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;ll depend on the exact year model of your Toyota 4Runner, but you can typically install LED lights as long as you find ones that are compatible with your ride. When it comes to installing new headlights, it can be a bit complicated, considering how an LED bulb has a different light pattern than other types of headlights. You&rsquo;d need to replace the housing as well to accommodate the new LED bulbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people recommend buying used stock units from owners who upgraded their Toyota 4Runners, but it ultimately depends on your preference and budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also upgrade your interior lighting with interior LED kits for an improved off-roading experience. The exact contents of these kits can vary, but they typically contain LED replacement bulbs for map lights, dome lights, and other interior lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Get New Headlights for Your Vehicle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only is driving with a broken headlight illegal, it&rsquo;s also very dangerous.
