What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Check that all your connections are tight. Maybe something was crossed?

You've got some moon dust on your lunar taco.

 

The connectors are slightly shoddy, and the install info for them is a bunch of pics of the drivers side only. I’ve gone through and messed with each one, replaced a couple of fuses. I guess I can try to switch the high and low and see where that gets me.

 

welcome to tw!

might want to poke around here:

I don't think I'd want my sidearm right there. Too many things going on in that area.

 

I did an intake and Y pipe to go with the tune. Truck feels great now

 

I remember reading something about your same issue somewhere possibly in this thread. I think the high and low were crossed. Anyway, there was a gentleman from Tuscon, AZ I think that had his email address in this thread that makes custom harnesses if you want to try another vendor. @blaklabl would know how to contact him. Also a YouTube video that might help.

I got a smoking deal on a very lightly used bed cover on offerup for $450. Installed today and added the TRD cold intake. Also hit the 2k mile mark on the odometer.

 

$450 is a steal for that MX4. Nice find.

 

Thanks for that, I thought I remembered reading that post, if when I switch them it doesn’t work then I’ll go another route. If it does work, then I’m zip tying the connectors together. Should’ve gotten from someone on the forum.

 

I switched them, and it’s a failure. Just turned on the passenger high when the low was on, still not both on when the high was on.

 

How frustrating! I don't think the gentleman that makes the harnesses on the thread I linked is a member anymore (possibly banned, not 100% sure), but several have purchased harnesses from him in that thread and have been happy. I'll probably do the same one of these days when I can stomach the cost of the trd pro led headlights. For a $400 or so factory option Toyota is really charging a lot to retro fit these trucks, but damn does it look good and make a huge difference.

 

I know, it’s not cheap. If they don’t work right it makes me feel like I got some e bay knockoff. Funny thing is I ordered them from the company and they sell them in pairs but somehow only got one, and was only charged for one. The customer service was great and I got another one, I think with a slight discount. Guess I’ll reach out to them again first. See if I can’t get one that works.

 

I'm confused. So you swapped the left and right harnesses completely or you tried playing with the high and low plug connectors to see if they're crossed? I can't remember if they're high and low specific (only plug in one way). I'm thinking it's an issue with the wiring, but it could be the headlight itself.

I'm definitely buying from my local Toyota dealer when I do this just in case I get a defective headlight.

 

Added lights under the dash in the footwells wired to the dome light. Added rough country molle panels in the bed.

 

Got 35s even though I said I would never. Lol.

 

gosh dang that’s hot

 

Sorry. Headlight is not defective
I switched the high and low as they are the same connectors. I didn’t swap the harness, as they appear identical.
At first I had both low beams, and when on high beam only the drivers side high beam was lit. After the switch the passenger side high was lit while on low beam, and when on high beam the passenger side was only the high still. Sorry no pic

 

Hmm welded...

 

Yes welded. I'm curious.. good thing or bad?

 

Did the ecgs bushing, front diff fluid change, 700lb coils for the 6112’s. Tomorrow hopefully bamf shackle hangers, replace the front camera that keeps crapping out, rear diff fluid change and diff breather mod.
