USR DEPO 96-98 4Runner Corner Lights - Clear Upgrade for Safety

In this review of the USR DEPO 96-98 4Runner Corner Lights, the bottom line is simple: these all clear cornering parking turn signal lamps are for 4Runner owners who want a clean refreshed look and reliable, OEM-style fit without major wiring work. They are a direct replacement designed by DEPO, arrive with two amber T10 bulbs, and are a straightforward plug-and-play swap if you reuse the stock sockets. The biggest reason to buy is the combination of an upgraded all clear appearance and practical, durable construction that fits 1996-1998 Toyota 4Runner models.

Key Features

• All Clear Upgrade: Replaces faded amber lenses with a modern clear lens to noticeably refresh the front corner appearance.
• OEM Fitment: Manufactured by DEPO to match original mount points and geometry so installation aligns with factory openings.
• High Quality Material: Lens and housing use ABS and polycarbonate for UV and impact resistance to hold up on older vehicles.
• Plug and Play Ready: Includes two T10 194 amber incandescent bulbs and requires reuse of stock sockets for a no-rewire swap.
• Sealed Housing: Factory sealing helps resist water intrusion for better longevity on aging trucks.
• One Year Warranty: Backed by USR CARE with a one year warranty for added buyer confidence.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of 1996-1998 Toyota 4Runners who want a straightforward visual upgrade and OEM-style replacement without modifying the vehicle's wiring. The product suits enthusiasts refreshing a 20+ year old truck, daily drivers needing a like-for-like corner light swap, and DIYers comfortable reusing existing sockets and basic hand tools.

Those seeking factory-original amber lens exact color match or a complete LED retrofit with new sockets should look elsewhere; this set is built around clear lenses with included amber incandescent bulbs and expects the installer to reuse original wiring and sockets.
