[smurf182]

Those LEDs on the tailgate are a mean idea, nice one

[Heath]

Those lil driving lights are cool. What's the set up for those?

ive wired them up to the boot light so when the boot is opened they come on

[vvilly]

Those lil driving lights are cool. What's the set up for those?

they are individual two wire 12v domes with a threaded shaft on the back..

linked them all in series and wired them to my park lights

[vvilly]

it all makes my head lights look like candles...


what to do with the H4 bulbs....... what avenue have others taken

[wjw]

Poser!

Just be wary of what the LEDs are lighting, obviously off road at night they will be awesome, lighting up whats immediately in front but on-road at 100km/h you don't want a lot of light in the foreground. Too much close range light and your ability to see into the distance is greatly reduced.

Yeah talking to one of the techies at work today he said the same thing. Will look at re wiring them up differently soon

[Heath]

You could rig a relay so when the main lights are off the LEDs are on and when the main lights are on the LEDs are off.

[hamboy]

Hook them up as daytime running lights, I had to take all my pretty lights off for a WOF

[vvilly]

Anyone got a wiring diagram for that

[kiwipete]

Anyone got a wiring diagram for that

Pin 87A is a normally closed contact and the LED's will run happily until you switch on the park lighting circuit, then the energised relay will put the 12V power across to pin 87, thus killing the supply to the LED's

[Smurf]

A switching relay as Pete has shown would be the easiest way

[vvilly]

Thats easy cheers guys

Nicely put Pete. Just like we talked about today (See I did listen and learn something )

[vvilly]

out with the old in with the new

got some h4 100/90's as well but i dont want amber lights on the front.

is there a bright Ice bulb that will work in headlights????

[evolution02]

Since you've fitted the higher wattage bulbs you need to fit a relay/wiring kit to the headlights otherwise you're going to burn out your h/l switch
The relay kit will also put higher voltage to the bulbs as won't have voltage drop
You will need a Toyota specific kit as Toyota switch the headlight different
I hope your 100/90 bulbs are hella as others are poor
I have fitted those bulbs and wiring kits to heaps of vehicles. Less now as most vehicles have polycarbonate lens so can't do those

[benorange]

Awesome. Where did you get them from?

pmd

im keen to find out where to get them as well

[ChurchurDan]

Be careful with 100/90 bulbs as they make a lot more heat for not a lot more light. You can get HID kits for H4 lights, They will give you more light and look heaps cooler. I know they are technically not legal but 100/90 bulbs are not either.

It might be good to check your lights on a beam setter as a lot of the after market lights are made for the USA market and dip the wrong way.

Yeah looking into hids atm....


With the right hand drive dip. Bryan from braxton lights has tutued with these to correct them thanks.

And blind every oncoming vehicle due to the incorrect cutoff. They're illegal for good reason.

So re wired up the driving lights correctly. ordered some ice bulbs from repco they should be here Tuesday. and i also fixed my no radio reception issue.

broke two electric factory ones. brought a repco one and lost reception so made a new antenna up.
used a welding rod and some rubber hose

[vvilly]

Brought some centreline 15X9's of vince a few months ago.
been waiting patiently for hendrick and sons to blast prime and paint them. finally got them back today painted them the same colour as the truck
now to get them fitted.

[Mattman]

Those wheels look great.

[vvilly]

thanks Mate

Next mish is to look into rhinolining the silver fenders i think
