TEQ Customs Glow Gauges for Toyota 4Runner (1996-1998)

Refresh your 3rd Gen 4Runner's instrument cluster with the TEQ Customs Glow Gauges. Designed specifically for 1996–1998 4Runner models, these gauge faces provide their own integrated illumination while retaining your factory gauges and odometer functionality. Unlike the factory cluster lighting, the TEQ Customs Glow Gauges feature their own built-in illumination system with a separate dimmer control. This provides an alternative to relying on the aging factory backlighting and dimmer, which can become unreliable or fail over time. The new gauge faces install directly over the factory gauges for a clean upgrade without replacing the entire instrument cluster.
