Late model Rear View Mirror Fab
Fabbed a '92 map light mirror into my '88.
Had to drill a extra hole to make the '88 triangular bolt pattern.

Used my jig saw to cut a spacer for the deeper map lights to fit.
Sprayed it black to match my trim and installed. The old light was one wire, the 'map light is a two wire. I grounded the one to chassis and left the other in the plug. Also needed longer bolts to compensate forthe spacer.
Came out alright. Much better lighting.

Nice, I was thinking of doing the same thing. Looks really good. A couple questions:
So that was a stock option for the 1992+ 4Runner?
Did you connect it to the other dome light so that it comes on when the doors are open?

Thanks Drop Zone but theres nothing wrong with the bare bone look either.
Matt, I don't know if that was stock option for '92. I brought it off ebay labeled as '92 interior lighting. The door latch option doesnt work on with the map lights because there is not interupt ground circuit on these but I didnt care about that. I just wanted good interior lighting for when I need it. It is a huge difference.
