I just bought some Sylvania Silverstar bulbs. I can't install these things! I took out my old bulbs, and put the new ones in, but it's impossible to plug in the power source. The power souce plug looks way different than the new bulbs. What I'm doing right now is I just took the bulbs out the box, and tried to fit them in. Is this wrong? Someone please help!!!

 

Did you buy the 9003 bulbs?

All you do is pull the old bulb out, and put the new bulb in. You have to make sure that it's lined up right, but it's as simple as that.

and see if you bought the right kind...I think it takes H4. About 9006 Bulbs...are they the same as H4?

One thing you can do for sure is compare with your OEM bulbs and see if they are identical. If they are then just put some dielectric grease...you'll be ok!

Hope this helps,

I got the 9004ST's and they lined up perfectly...no problems whatsoever...now I just need to upgrade my wiring harness to get a little more brightness out of them!

I think the 2000 4Runner uses the 9003 bulb (??)

 

You need the 9003ST. The rear of the bulb should be silver/chrome and have three prongs arranged like this: |_| with the open facing down. Here's an application guide from Osram Sylvania:

Jackass that I am, I wasn't at home and said 9006...I meant 9003 though as I'd bought some a couple weeks back myself. Sorry 'bout that...lots of back up correcting me though.
