had the same problem with my turn signals on my Camry when I had all the exterior lights converted to LED'S. Had them installed at a local shop in town. they added a 1ohm resister so to slow down the rate of the signal so that there not flashing so fast that they look like there on steady when being used. Love my new LED's headlamps and turn signals. Also have the LED's in the trunk and interior. There great...

Thanks for the explanation on the light function. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find info on which lights are parking lights and which are urn signals on any particular older vehicle, much less this one. A good hack would be to convert the parking lights into combination turn signals/parking lights for extra illumination. That integrated turn signal lens in the headlight cluster isn't optimal because it will get "drowned out" from the white light from the main beams. It's perfect because it's located on the front corner.

I absolutely love sealed beam technology, if only because it allows for seamless upgrading to LEDs. I have an econoline work van I plugged ebay led headlights in and they work like a charm, and I have an econoline conversion van that unfortunately uses the alternate reflector headlight. I am going to 'downgrade' to sealed beams just to get a set of led headlights, and these look very nice for a reasonable amount - the ebay ones cost me 60 dollars versus this one's 80 dollars.

Never having DRL, you'll need to wire them manually. You could tap into the fusebox on a circuit that powers up only while the ignition is on, or just run a positive from battery or other constant source with an inline switch (just don't forget to turn them off when you park the truck.)

I've read this harness is required 'cause Yotas turn from hi to low beam using groud instead of positives, but i don't know if this is exclusive for hiluxs or for all 80's - 90's Toyota. Greetings!

I have this same setup but the only lights that work are the turn signals which I wired as you did. The fuses look good, would it be the headlight relay that went bad? I mean if the turn signals work, why wouldn’t the low/high beams work as well? Could it be the factory harness is bad?

@6thGearGarage Жыл бұрын

I've heard of the factory harness wires going bad because they get crunchy after decades of use. The turn signals are separate and much less power, so they don't seem to have issues. Can you hear the relay clicking on/off?

@codylemieux5075 Жыл бұрын

Your turn signal sensing circuit thinks your bulb is blown because you left your ground open on your turn signal harness when you tapped into it. Just ground that wire and it’ll fix the fast blinker.

I'm confused why you added an additional relay harness. For HID lights it was necessary because they often pulled more wattage than the halogen bulbs they replaced, but in the world of LED replacements, they pull waaaaay less energy than halogen lights, so I don't understand why the factory wiring would not be sufficient. I'm not trying to be rude or question your excellent work, but I'd like to know what I'm maybe missing.
