For those curious, I just installed these on my '22 trd off road and it really was as easy as this vid makes it seem. Only "tricky" part was I had to use a little more force than I thought I would to remove the stock housing, and make sure your 10mmm socket is long enough to reach the 2 nuts on each side. Very very happy with this purchase/install, took about 7 minutes total.
So awesome to hear it was a piece of cake for ya! Thanks for sharing your experience!
I definitely just snapped the black plastic clips on the bottom of mine. Mine took more force on my 2021 but thankfully the screw and nut do most of the work of securing the housing.
Nice vid, but how bright is the backup lights?
Bright enough for us! We are still running these on our rig!
I love the look of that 4Runner. Mine is an SR5, same color. I’d love to eventually get that size tire on it and lift.
Thanks for your kind words! We appreciate you very much!!!
A little tip for yall, put a small smudge of putty on the inside tip of the socket so that the nut does not fall into your inside well of the 4runner. I use 3M strip caulk thar I got on amazon
Great tip!! Thanks so much!
I like how he just lightly pulled the tail light out. The magic of filming. Here I am 15 minutes trying to pull mine out
Thanks for the comment! It should just come right off! So sorry yours isn’t!! Every time we swap 4Runner tails they come right off after removing the hardware.
@@TrailGridPro no worries, every video I've seen people struggle pulling these out. I eventually got mine out but it was a pain. I'm guessing they come out easier since you guys have probably pulled it out multiple times from the same vehicle.
@@AG4runner Ah, such good news you got them out! Woohoo!
2022 TRD Pro here. Same problem. Had to use a hammer and bar to lightly tap them out after taking off 10mm bolts and unplugging harness. It's the rubber grommets that the 3 pins slide into that get stuck when they're new from factory. My 2020 SR5 had no issues and just slid right out.
I installed these on my 2020 pro about a month ago. Also installed the new XB AMBER DRL headlights. Now I've got amber sequential turn signals front and back. These things look amazing.
Heck yea! Amber on the front and back is awesome! We have White DRL heads on ours so we’re right there with ya! Thanks for watching!
You still liking them?
@@scoobysid04 Yes Sir.
@@jimwimmer3490 thank you for your reply
@@jimwimmer3490did you ever have a problem with them burning the stop/taillight fuse?
No need to remove the bulbs at all. Just remove the harness and leave bulbs there.
Appreciate the feedback and comment!!
I heard Morimoto is working on a new design for the 4Runner tail lights. V2?
Yep, they're out now: trailgridpro.com/products/morimoto-xb-led-tail-lights-gen-ii-10-23-4runner
Is it just the video or is the driver side brake light a slightly different color than the passenger's?
It was during the day so the sunlight played a role in how it displayed with the camera angle.
Got mine yesterday, took me and my 10 year old like 7 minutes total lol I was totally staring back at it after parking this morning at work haha. Also got headlights, GTR Carbide. Hope they are fairly easy to get in this weekend 😍🙌
Woohoo!! Great job on the install!!
is it just me or the tail lights on the left side is weaker compaired to the right??
Yea, the video makes it look that way because we (for some reason!) shot a tail light video in the middle of the day ... outside! It's the sun and light with the combo of the camera that makes it look that way but in person they are equally bright.
These lights have a defect right out of the factory. I have replaced them 3 times without a fix. When you install these you will see right away there is a mismatch in the brightness of the passenger side tail light and the driver side tail light. It looks super ghetto at night . But I have just lived with it because when the lights aren't on in the day time they look way better than stock.
Hmm, that’s a bummer. I haven’t experienced that with mine, so sorry that’s happening to ya!
it seems like that is true in this video as well…is it just the video or does it look that way in real life too?
@@aryacyrusmortazavi1514 In the video, the sun was shining from the passenger side of the vehicle. Also, bright LED’s and camera’s sometimes don’t get along. The rig in the video is my personal vehicle and I love them. I don’t notice any difference in light at night with my naked eye. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
@@TrailGridPro thanks for the reply! i have the same color/style as yours and just ordered the same taillights after watching your video…thanks for the great video and confirmation!!
@@aryacyrusmortazavi1514 Of course! It’s absolutely our pleasure!! You’ll love them!
your rig keeps getting better and better well done 👏..
Appreciate it very much!! 🙏🙏
Did you ever have a problem the stop/taillight fuse burning after a while with these?
We haven't personally, but have heard of that in the past! Feel free to reach out to our support email and we'll be happy to look into this for you!
Those look great especially on that color 4Runner. I just picked some up for my white TRD Pro. Hopefully they look as good as that. Really great video, thanks.
Ohhh, yes! I think they’ll look great on white. Congrats on your new tails. Hope you enjoy them!
May I know what wheels you are using? Thanks
Those are the factory TRD Pro wheels
Damn, these look great on a Magnetic Gray 4Runner. I have the same color and this video convinced me to go get some.
Awesome!! Yessss, we absolutely love them!!
Oh man, those look goooood! Great install video.
We also think they look great! Thanks for watching and for your kind feedback!
Great video 🙏🏼
Thank you!!!
Love your videos man.
Appreciate it very much!!
really digging your content. nice install. thanks for sharing
Thanks so much! Appreciate ya!
Awesome! You're amazing for posting this video which I asked for a few weeks ago. Very appreciate your effort.
Appreciate your awesome feedback! It’s absolutely our pleasure!!
What is the depth/length of your 10mm socket? Mine are too short and I want to make sure I buy the right one before I install. Great video! I’m excited to do this upgrade!
Any ratchet wrench extension will do the trick! I don’t the exact length, but it may be 4 or 5 inches.
Mine too
I’m like wtf do I do now with everything disassembled. Why did they make that bolt so long for no apparent reason? Haha
I purchased this, great product! However I struggle putting the new morimoto tail lights on my 4runner and I broke the 2 clip at the bottom of the panel.
I was then able to place it properly I think? Lol after 45mins. I just screw it tightly. I think itll be okay even tho the bottom clips break. Should I replaced those clips to ensure the tail lights wont fall out or come loose?
You should be okay as there are other clips. I would just watch to see if it rattles at all.
I just picked up a 2022 ORP. It’s still a fifth generation but none of the tail light manufacturers including Morimoto Will not issue a spec for a 2022 model. Does anybody have any experience with this? Great video.
Thanks for your kind words and congrats on the new rig! Tail lights for the 2022 are the same as all other 5th gen model years I you should be all set with these tails.
are those reverse lights bright enough? that would be my only concern. otherwise, these tail lights look absolutely fantastic
Yea, the video really doesn’t do them justice. Camera’s have trouble with white LED - that little light is like a projector. You can’t miss it.
I had the same concern when watching videos before I bought mine but the reverse lights are super bright. Everything morimoto puts out is top notch brightest lights on the market. I got the morimoto xb headlights with the amber drl, morimoto xb led fog lights, and now the morimoto taillights for my 4runner and it transforms the entire truck and wayyyy brighter all around
I installed these tail lights on my 2011 4runner. The backup lights are bright however, they project the light high and level. Due to this, there is a black hole at the hitch and back a few feet. The license plate light helps with this area. I resolved by installing Diode Dynamics SS2 rear bumper lights.
Your video helped me pull the trigger on these tailights for my 2021 Mag grey ORP. They just look so good w this color and now all chrome is officially deleted. Love my XB headlights although they were definitely not plug & play on the 2021... had to get creative with wiring and lost the ignition sequence in the process, but I don't mind.
Such great news! So glad our video was helpful for you! Oh, yea … it’s tough to get the Morimoto heads to run on 21’s. I’m sure they’ll have a solution for ORP’s, OR’s, and SR5’s soon! There’s an adapter for Pro & Limited owners but that’s it for now. Anyway, thanks again for your kind feedback and hope you love them!
@@TrailGridPro Thank you, man! I'll circle back when I get a chance to install them to confirm that they are plug & play on the 2021.
@@MrHeuristics Sounds good, but you should be good to go!
@@TrailGridPro Yep, install was even easier on the 2021 as no bulbs need to be removed. ~15 minutes. True plug & play!
@@MrHeuristics Yessssssssssss!!!
The brake lights seem brighter on the passenger side.
The sun was blasting down from the passenger side of the vehicle so it made it look a little brighter due to the reflection.
noticed your third bar brake light was smoked out as well. What product did you use? Looks great.
That's the factory 3rd brake light on our 2020 TRD Pro.
What’s your MPG ?
Well, I've since added an ICON Stage 7 lift and I get about 12 MPG! :-)
Thank you for this video, I wanted to see what they would look like and install process. What tires are you running? They look great! Would you recommend them?
Thanks for your kind words! Im running BFG KM3 285/70 R17’s!
They look fantastic, im ready to put those in my 2021 4runner, where can i find these tail lights?
Yea, we absolutely love them! We sell them on our site here: trailgridpro.com/shop/lighting/morimoto-tails-10-4runner/
r the reverse lights bright ? and the brake lights one amber one red ?
The brake lights are all red and the reverse lights are bright - our video was shot during the day with the sun on the right side of the vehicle so the sun caused the light to appear not as bright as they would at night.
Nice 4runner, what tires and suspension are you using for this set up?
We'll be putting out an update build video soon, stay tuned!
Would these fit my 22 ORP?
Yep, they sure will! Check them out here: trailgridpro.com/shop/lighting/morimoto-tails-10-4runner/
Do you think if i were to go with the same rims and tire size and kept the front mud flaps that i would rub?
You know, I’m sure not because I had the tires put on at the same time as the mud flaps were removed, but my hunch is that they shouldn’t rub.
@@TrailGridPro thanks boss! No spacers being used right? Just the stock trd rims?
@@RCGJR_ yep, that is correct!
@@RCGJR_ did yours ever rub? I have a 2020 venture edition and looking to upgrade tires but I’ll still get the stock size, 265/70/17
Would you say these are better than the Alpharex Tail lights?
We’ve never personally run the AlphaRex tails, but we can definitely say we are absolutely obsessed with the Morimoto tails. Thanks for your question! 🙌
@@TrailGridPro so awesome! I’m definitely adding these to my 2022 4Runner trail edition! I’ll be saving this video in my watch later so I’ll know how to install once I get them 😉
@@masonreever731 Wise decision! 🙌🤙
@@TrailGridPro just subscribed! Also do you happen to have a video or will you ever make a video on the Alpharex luxx or nova or Morimoto Xb headlights?
@@masonreever731 Sweet! Thanks for subscribing! We have both of those vids on the channel. Morimoto heads install: czcams.com/video/gyUXWZ_KQ78/video.html | AlphaRex Heads Install: czcams.com/video/uOytvJNSKuc/video.html
Sweet shirt, are those available for purchase?
They’re coming soon in the Trail Grid Pro shop!
What is your height ? what is the total height of your 4runner without a roof rack? I'm concerned if the 4th runner will fit into the new garage. And the purchase of a car is getting closer and closer .. good job with movies !
I’m 6’1” but I’m not entirely sure how tall my 4Runner’s roof line is from the ground. Maybe about the same? 6 feet or so? Not sure.
@@TrailGridPro thank you !
@@siemasz007 Of course it’s my pleasure and congrats on the new rig!!
Do these work in the 2022 TRD ORP?
All signs are pointing to “Yes” but Morimoto hasn’t confirmed it yet.
@@TrailGridPro thank you! I have noticed there haven't been any changes to the year range on taillights that include 2022's. My 22 I believe has LED taillights not sure if that makes wiring harness difference or not. Thanks for checking into it for me
@@jimchauvin7958 Yea, my hunch is they’ll either work out of the box or need an adapter harness. We’ll know soon enough!
@@TrailGridPro not sure where the blind spot monitor sensor is located that just came to mind hoping not in the tail lens
🤏 reverse lights
They’re small but mighty. The camera didn’t do them much justice as white LED always renders funny with camera’s but they’re hard to miss.
You can notice it on his video too.. mismatched brightness wtf... So ghetto
Ah, I think I know what you’re referring to in the video and the sun was driving in strong from the passenger side of the vehicle during this shoot which I tried to play with in post production but just left it as it was. I don’t experience any difference in mine IRL. Again, so sorry that’s happening to you!
Yep, especially noticeable in the evening alley way still shot in the beginning of the video showing the after look. They look yellow on the right and red on the left. Every video i have watched the right side appear to have a yellowish color to them compared to the left side.
I really want to get a set, but dont want to be disappointed with them like i am with my headlights.
I may just mix the AR, Anzo and XB in a hat and pick one. They all seem to have something about them that makes me hesitate every time i am ready
@@jross13450 that is your gut telling you to save your hard earned money... Why put up with a company who cant even get something as simple as matching left and right correctly. I bought headlights and tails and am disappointed everyday
What really sucks about my headlights @j p is that i got them discounted and limited warranty. Then, I went on a short deployment. Then went to the east coast, then Japan, and have just started to get to drive with them, the entire corener LEDs flicker or are out on the DRL's and the output is rather shadowed. And I'm outside of the warranty period. I might just build my own headlights and use HID like I was going to do from the get go
@@jross13450 dang that is terrible are you sure you are out of warranty? It is 5 years.. i had the flicker issue and it was 6 months into owning them.. i exchanged for a new set. Now the blinker doesnt work the same on the left and right.. i dont want to waste my time emailing back and forth..
