Winjet Inc Tacoma Tail Lights Comments, Concerns, Questions

I have installed these lights on my 2019 Tacoma, and like most I blew my 10A STOP fuse. I checked my wiring and made sure the wires were matched up correctly then put another 10A and tested out the lights and it blew. Then I tried a 15A and it blew then I tried a 30A and it didnt blow that one. I don't want to have a 30A fuse there but idk what to do to get it to work with the 10A fuse.

 

Same issue, brake override malfunction. I changed out the 10a fuse under hood and it blew again. I have not changed out the 7.5 under dash. I will change out both tomorrow and see what happens. This is my first post btw.

 

Update, I changed out the 10 stop with a 30 amp fuse and the 7.5 tail to a 15. No problems since. I’m just curious if this will affect anything in the long run tho

 

Well, when I installed these I noticed the running lights do not work but Reverse, turn signal, and brake lights do work. I changed the 7.5 tail fuse and the stop 10 fuse and still nothing. I am thinking about taking my truck into the dealership.

 

Tons of problems with these....lights not working, blowing fuses and leaking! Why do people keep buying this garbage? Hope you at least held onto your factory tail lights that actually work!

 

What did you change the 7.5 to and the 10 to? 15 for tail and stop to 30 worked for me. Also make sure you install regular lights first and turn on truck, then install the new taillights and make sure the wiring is correct. It for sure matters which side you click it on. If incorrect it will not work that’s where I messed up originally.

 

Yes I agree I think mine are good now I did add silicone to seal them and higher fuses and haven’t had problems since. Honestly only reason is because they look bad ass

 

Dang it...had these in my shopping cart and was set on this style but now I'm second guessing.

 

I guess they are cool until they quit working.

 

Bringing up an old post, I'm having the exact same issue with mine, did you ever get yours corrected? What did you do??

 

My running lights don't work, but everything else does, I can't find any blown fuses, just no tail lights, what did you do to fix your problem?

 

I dont seem to have power going to the tail light sockets, I also noticed that my licenseplate lights are not working, and my tpms is not registering an pressure. I'm not getting a low pressure light, but when I go to the tire pressure window on the dash all it shows isdotted lines where the numbersshouldbe.

 

Love these tail lights but after 6 months I had all kinds of brake and abs errors and had to bring it to the shop and the tail lights are shorted somewhere, he even showed me when you have the lights on the brake leds flicker very faintly.

 

So has anyone had success with these or is it a lost cause? Seems like someone must have them working since there are no bad reviews anywhere that sells them.

I just bought some but it sounds like its not worth the risk.

 

lil baby ferds, just be a taco

 

I really dont like the clear ones on my 2021. Ill trade you

 

Installed today. Problems.
Brake lights and turn signals work.
No running tail lights.

I changed out fuses. Not the issue.
I put the regular bulbs back in and the tail lights wont come on.
There is still power going to the tail fuse.
Not sure if this was caused by the Winjets or not, but now my **** is ******.

I literally broke 36,000 miles today.

I looked at the connectors from the winjets..



It looks like several are broken (they should be wrapped over the top. top image missing 1, bottom is missing 3!

Anyone have advice for me?

 

Honest advice? Return them. This whole thread is riddled with people having issues, often unresolved, and others doubling the fuse current rating which is not a good idea. If the circuit has a 7.5 amp fuse, the wiring is unlikely to be gauged for carrying twice the current with the appropriate margin. I'll bet my lunch that long term using larger fuses to support the added current these poor quality lights draw will cause connector and wiring issues if the lights last that long.

 

I was a dumbass, 1st attempt when I thought I connected the black/white wire connection, I didn't trace the winjet pigtail past the insulator and actually connected them wrong.
THEN.. I replaced the 10 amp fuse on the wrong end of the fuse box, so, I put the stock lights back in, took it to the dealer, they replaced the correct fuse in about 8 seconds.
Finally I looked closer at the instructions, (crazy right?!?), saw what I did wrong, and have been trouble free since, love mine now!!

Moral of the story, don't look at the connections at the plug, trace it back to the actual wire to make sure you are actually are connected correctly.

 

#Another one

My winjet tail lights DRL & brake light isn't working...

Tried doubling the 2 fuses, didn't work.

Any ideas?...
