    4runner or 4x4 corners will work.

    The bumper lights have to be 4runner though but corner lights can be 4runner or 4x4

    Glad we could help out.

    Yes, either one will fit. But the surrounding trim on them are different.



    Appologies to 2graphic for thread jacking. You might be able to get the flush headlights to fit the factory 2wd grille. Just check the dimensions of 'em. Don't some of the Aussie trucks come with flush headlights?

    wait wait wait..... wait a minute...

    if you want to cut a Toyota pickup grille and put in 4Runner headlights, the lights will sit back more than it would on a regular 4Runner.. so theoretically, if done as imagined... it doesn't sit forward, so you can use the regular pickup corners... but idk how you'd mount it.

    You should see what some 4WD guys do with that red one's valance. They'll cut off the "sides" and keep the "middle" looks intense... on a 4WD toyota lol

    Basically you want to get a spare grille and some hilux surf 92-95 headlights!
