Glad you think so!!
I've been working on Toyotas for 16 years and my favorite thing they do is make a simple clip with so much complexity that you have to take out a handful of them before you figure out how they work, and all they can muster in their repair manual is "Remove 12 clips and 2 bolts."
I never get tired of the credits at the end. It's so funny, and of course, informative.
The pull a part is a junkers paradise!! Love mine in kentucky!

Hi Faye hope you and yours are having a blessed day
I also love to salvage all my clips, screws and usable parts from the old part before discarding it. If you love to keep your automobiles for a long time, it's nice to have these obsolete parts on hand if you ever need them. You need to think ahead when you own older vehicles. Great video.
To awesome Faye!!! You turn a simple job into a fun time. Your laugh always puts a smile on my face!!!🤘🤘🤘

I came across your channel looking to change just the bulb on the headlight not the entire headlight, but it was such an amazing video. I instantly fell in love with your personality (and you), pairing up with this DIY auto repair video, makes you a must watch. Subscribed.
Always a pleasure to watch you operate Faye :)
I just got a 4Runner and your videos are so helpful. I have a hood like that truck.

If you insert the grille clips into the grille first then fit the grille its much easier . To remove clips from the body simply twist them.
My 1998 Nissan Frontier had the same push-tabs for the grill - which I also had to remove for headlight lenses and lamps. In the 17 years I had the truck I gave up and mounted the grill with black zip-ties. When I had to change a light bulb?... cut them and replace!
All of your vids are so good and helpful! Thank you!

I wish junkyards around me were that nice and clean.
There are really great colored (amber) 2-way LED turn signal bulbs at auto stores. They are 2 way so no modifications needed. I usually match the color lens with the same color LED- but that's my personal preference.🚙
Thank you for the video. Felt confident enough to try and do it myself after watching 1 time ❤

Have a 2001 4-Runner been through 3 sets of headlights over the years. Glass headlights are great because they do not oxidize like plastic headlights, but like Faye's they crack when hit by rocks. When I installed the last set of new headlights I got the clear headlight protective film from Weather tech. The film is crystal clear and cut to fit perfectly, so I believe they will be the last set of headlights in my 4-Runner. Bonus the kit comes with protective film for all of the lights on the front end, turn signal, side marker, and fog lights.
Fantastic tutorial ! Thank you for adjusting the camera to show up on the small spots. New owner of a '01 4runner. As always looking for to more videos.

Another great tutorial Faye!! Question 4 U? 🙋🏽♂️ What LED bulbs are you running in those stock housings…. how is the light output and heat? What were those washer things you placed on the battery posts? 🤔 Have a great weekend!! 🐔🐔

The lights are linked in my bio, and they are very bright and annoying to others 😆 they don't get hot because they have built-in fans. You can hear the fans when I turn them on in the video! And those are battery felts, they help to prevent corrosion! You can find them for $0.99 at most auto parts stores!

Good as used
awesome video, learned more than i came for. did that hood scoop come with that model, or was it from a different truck? am actually looking at taking the front end/hood off my 00 sport edition and putting it on a 97 tacoma. looks like it should bolt up. also, idk where you learned to do what you do, but i have NEVER once in my life had a mechanic reset the clock and radio stations, that is simply a step above what i am accostomed to. no joke, the time we took our truck in for about 5k in repairs, it came back with a broken radio! lol.
You rock
she's got some good skills
Woulda been nice to mention killing the honda radio sooner than at the end . Great info . Great video
You are awesome 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Can you make a video on which way to turn the bolt on back of headlight when trying to aim them down?
Can you do a video on properly aiming the headlights? Please
I just did mine. Are you still in SA? Btw Any thoughts on putting TRD wheels on it?
Faye, I need your help. I have p1300 on my 4runner, bit I cant seem to find anything online on where this ignition coil is located. You able to locate:/?

What did you replace your headlight bulbs with? My light output sucks! I tried your link but it doesn't work.
I just inherited a '98 3rd Gen 4Runner, so i've been looking to fix some of these very things you cover in such great detail and simplicity. You are very helpful, Faye and give me a lot of ideas and insight. I've been junkyard diving for some replacement Enkei center caps - apparently the 3rd Gen ones are super rare and hard to find for any one - and the aftermarket Toyota center caps do not fit... i've tried and returned two different sets. Any ideas or good replacements that you can think of? Or any way to mod the OEM or aftermarket versions? The Enkei wheels are in great shape, just need the center caps to make them really pop. Now that I think about it, the original owner probably sold those center caps for $200 a piece on Ebay :|

I tried to comment on a post but it said it was agent guidelines or spam I hope you don't mind me messaging you . I have a 97 4runner that I'm doing a 99+ center console and radio bezel swap on and I was wondering if you found a place to get the electrical pins for the connector at that won't brake the bank .
