Looks good, i just installed some 700s the other day.

They arent really that bright but they are basically a high beam. I put in some 55w xenon bulbs and i think im going to put some 100s in there one of these days. Oh yea, you should throw in another relay.

How long did they sit in the box waiting for you to muster enough courage up to take a drill bit to your bumper?? Looks good.

Looks awesome. That's a good looking 4Runner. I had Hella 500's similarly mounted on an 02 Tacoma. Cracked the lenses one night playing in the woods.

Here is where I mounted mine. The only problem is that they vibrate when I hit a bump.

Do yours shake mounted on the bumper?

What bull-bar do you have? Is it the Hunter one from ebay?

I have the same bar and had KC Daylighters on it, and they shook like crazy. Ended up taking them off, and mounting some PIAA 510's in the lower grill instead. No more shaking around!

I don't remember what it is. I mounted it on rubber trying to reduce the vibration and it helped a little bit. It only shakes when I hit a bump.
