Install FORM FL0029 mirror lights

For 2014–2024 Toyota 4Runner and 2013–2018 RAV4 with original factory mirror lamps.

Before you start

Use the supplied plastic trim tool and a Phillips screwdriver. Check that the mirrors have the original lamps and connections. Support the mirror glass as you release it, keeping any attached wires free of strain.

The manufacturer demonstrates these steps on other vehicle housings. The pictures show the connection and handling method, not the exact 4Runner clip layout. Inspect your original retention points and follow the vehicle service procedure where fasteners differ.

1. Release the mirror glass

Carefully release one side of the glass, then work around the remaining clips. Keep the glass supported; unclip its connections if needed for safe access rather than leaving it hanging by the wires.

FORM method example: unclip the mirror glass carefully to access the housing.
