i was a little bit ify because i never received a conformation email for the order but my worries were subsided when i was sent a receipt of order via snail mail.
the instructions are a little hard to understand but its all basically the same thing process just a different size bulb.
the kit covers the front headlights, turn signals, rear backup lights, turn signals, and license plate lights.
what comes in the kit and the tools u need
1. Remove the existing headlight bulbs and prepare for installation. be sure to use gloves when handling the new halogens
there is a little rubber boot gasket around the light
and here it is
the light housing...there are two small clips that need to be squeezed in to release the light
grab the light by the smooth metal base
the old light
its a bad pic but this is the new light off
the new lights on
2. remove the mirror glass and replace existing illumination bulb.
this is probably the hardest thing to do
do it on the pass. side first in case you break all 4 clips off (i didnt i only broke one)
this is the light you replace
3. move to the rear after snapping the mirror (dont like the way that sounds) back on
pry off light access cover in the back corner of the trunk using a flat head screwdriver
should look like this
it is hard to get at all of the lights if you have fat fingers (if you have them you know what im talking about...dont laugh)
4. move to the tail gate and locate the license plate lights they area on eaither side of the handle for the door. remove the two screws for one of the lights.
you will need to pry apart the two pieces of the housing like so
locate the bulb (this was hard)
and replace the bulb with the supplied led
4.Remove the factory installed front turn signal/parking light bulbs and replace
the passenger side is MUCH harder that the driver
over this installation was pretty easy and i like the results, i will put some more pics up tonight when you can actually see the lights.
all of the bulbs are removed with a 1/8 counter clockwise turn and reinstalled with a 1/8 clockwise turn

That's cool. How easily were the passenger & driver's side mirrors to remove? I don't like the idea of them breaking when I pry them. Are the clips obtainable from Toyota?
Thanks
