    I changed out the lights, it was a moisture problem last time, in the wheel well on that side, it’s vented. I’m going to check more this morning and go from there. I checked fuses last night and I’m going to go back through all my connections and make sure they’re all tight I don’t think I can plug the light in the wrong way but I’m not sure I will check that too.
    Thank you

    Sorry that wasn t supposed to send again.
    Thank you I had not remembered the fuse box inside the truck. I also did fog light anytime mod sometime ago now and I wondered about that relay being weakened overtime.

    LED or halogen bulbs? Some LED replacement bulbs use crappy gaskets.

    New LED, I’m going to put 12 volts on both of them to make sure,while I do this further checking.I had taped all the plug-in connections up to try and help moisture to stay away.

    I’ve always had problems with mine . Right now the left one is out and I have Morimotos. It’s the pig tail or whatever you want to call it where it plugs into the bulb . I reach under and wiggle it and it comes on . Replaced that wire plug about 3 times . Even swapped to the ceramic ones :annoyed:

    I have been fortunate this is the only trouble that I’ve had with mine and I bought it in fall of 13

    I put a piece of rubber mat over that louvered section in the right front wheel well and eliminated a lot of my water problems, which is what got my last light. I never understood the placement of that anyway I looked at the dealer while I was getting my truck serviced and it’s just that right side that they did that

    Air intake for the engine most likely you should not block that opening !

    Could be a good reason to buy a snorkel in the future tho!:bananadance:

    But yea that could definitely restrict your intake.

    Yes, your intake is right behind the right hand fender liner and that vent in the fender Liner is to help your engine get air

    OK thank you for that, I will certainly take it down.

    ‼️I have an update this is the resident dumb dumb here coming to you live ,all my fuses were good in the secondary panel , I took the light apart, and reversed the plug into the factory plug and it works like a champ. This is the first set that I’ve put in this truck that did not have a way where you could only plug them in one way,

    Lesson learned

    thank y’all so much for your feedback, I appreciate all my Toyota brothers/sisters lol
