LED Lighting Conversion

Bahahahahaha! Ok you must’ve really done bad things when you were younger. It’s ok, Jesus loves you. They know that’s unacceptable, tell them you’re willing to send it back if they provide shipping, as $10 is not going to fix anything, especially a defective bulb. You shouldn’t have to fix a manufacturers defect. You’re a paying customer, not a bulb repair man or assembly guy. If you need me to step in and do the talking or want me to phrase what you should say in a private message, let me know. I have ways to get people to own up to thier mistakes...I may be able to get you to be a partial owner or shareholder when I’m done with their a$$e$.

 

That should be fine, I think mictuning switches can handle up to 20 amps, all your LEDs combined should still be WAY less than that but for good measure, add up the current consumption from the ditch lights and light bar, make sure that come in at less, I’m sure they do if they are LED but I’m an engineer by trade so I always like to get my ducks in a row. It’s an OCD thing...

 

You’d need to modify a wiring harness or make your own so that it had three leads similar to the two lead wiring harness for the ditch lights. You’d need to make sure the relay and in-line fuse can handle all three lights though.

$12 iBrightstar 912 921 LED Bulb for Backup Light Reverse Lights High Power with Projector Error Free T15 906 922 W16W Bulbs, 6000K White

THESE are the reverse lights I run and I’ve had for a little while. They are also on my fiancé’s rav4. Very bright and perform great.

Turn signals: 100% plug and play. Ive only replaced the front turn signals. I have WINJet LED taillights. Most guys have gone with

xSpeedLighting 7440 7441 T20 LED Light Bulbs Extremely Bright 2000lm RX-Chips with Projector Lens For Back Up/Reverse Lights Brake/Tail Lights Turn Signal/Parking or Running Lights, Amber Yellow

THESE and said they had no Hyperflash issues when ONLY doing the front. However I initially bought

$23 JDM ASTAR Extremely Bright PX Chips 7440 7441 7443 7444 Amber Yellow Turn Signal LED Bulbs

THESE and had Hyperflash issues on the driver side only, then I bought a set of those others thinking maybe it was just a bad bulb and still had the same issue. Honestly I was surprised cause the different brands looked IDENTICAL. Pretty sure it was the exact same bulb lol

Long story short I ended up installing resistors last week to get rid of Hyperflash. That only took about 5 minutes. Very easy process. So if you need to do this as well it’s simple. Maybe you’ll get lucky and not have an issue though.

 

So did you buy both the X Speeds & Astars? They DO appear to be exactly alike, so not sure to choose one over the other.

 

Yes, I bought both and they seem identical. A few guys on here that switched said they never had Hyperflash issues when just converting the front signals to LED, but I did. Nothing that a couple resistors couldn't fix though.

 

We had a customer recently post this on instagram... basically, he reached out to us because he wasn't happy with his LED bulbs that were rated at 3500 lumens and was thinking of going HID. His truck was lifted though, so we advised him that HID may annoy oncoming traffic, and to try our H11 LED headlight kit that is honestly rated at 1750 lumens (half of what his current kit was advertised as being):

 

YES!! Happy to hear that you're enjoying your new H11 HID kit

Hey thanks for posting up in the thread! Very nice of you to come in and shout at us! I for one appreciate it!

 

um.... I'm not sure how to respond do this?

 

Well, I'm being sincere. So far you're the only vendor that has posted in this thread that I can remember. Says a lot about your integrity. Just because I am not currently using your products doesn't mean I wouldn't have some kind words in regard to your actions to pass on to others. And others who are on the fence about what products to use may look upon it the same way.

Nothing else was implied.

 

Thanks for posting!

We are always interested in seeing new LED reviews posted here. The tech is changing so fast, it's hard to keep up with all of the vendors newest LED bulbs.

Can't wait to see one of your new H11 LED bulbs in a Tacoma!

 

That's really nice of you to say, thank you very much. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to post this.

Steve

 

My pleasure! We've actually got quite a few Tacoma owners with our products. Most of the photos are on instagram though... This review of our h11 LED kit in an H11 Koito projector with lux measurements and exposure locked photos does a good job providing insight though, as it compares our bulb against an OE H11 halogen bulb & H9 halogen bulb:

I try Steve , you're welcome. Oh, and the whole shouting at us thing is a CB reference, aka "shout at me Bandit". I am old.

 

Installed my hikari’s with phillips last night, light output is great and got rid of my HID shakes I had with my morimoto kit. Throw isn’t as gread as HID’s but still a huge improvement over the OEM halogens.

Great reviews!

I really like how your collars are adjustable. Our 3rd gen Tacoma's are fairly spot on in the low beam projectors meaning that the LEDs face 90 & 270 degrees (left and right) when installed. However, if I remember right, the high beams are off by about 30 degrees on the passenger side and 9 degrees on the driver's side. Not sure why Toyota did that...

I also like how your LEDs don't have the fan that many others do. Although no one has reported any issues with them in here (yet), I feel that they are the potential weakest link in the system. LEDs should last a long time, but those mechanical fans will likely be the first thing to fail.

Cheers!

 

@XenonDepot Again, thanks for sharing and like Rob said thanks for sharing on this thread. I know a few of us are currious to find the best LED bulb on the market for our projector headlights.

Would you guys be interested in sending me just a bulb or even a set of your best/newest LED's to compare with what has been determined by most as the best on the market? I've tested a lot of different brands of H11 LED headlight bulbs for the Tacoma so far. I'll give you all an honest review in return and if your bulbs prove to be better than what is thought to be the best, I'll buy a set.

Just a thought.
