    where’d you move it to?

    My 2010 didn’t have DTRLs and I didn’t want to do the housing melting mod so I used this for my halos when I did my retrofit. Another option but it works great!

    Edit: just realized your problem is hyper flash not DTRL control. I jumped to conclusions and this probably isn’t your solution.

    might be able to do something with a load resistor to trick it into thinking the bulb is there??

    Any pictures of the roof mounted speakers. It sucks that there are wires going there but virtually no sound from the factory "speaker" if you want to call it that.

    Ya I have dtrl. It's a three wire 4157 bulb, I can use the power from it for my halo. But when I use the blinker wire over to the two wire side marker light it hyper flashes. I said the hell with it for now, as I want to get a painted grill so I took the halo controller out for now.

    I would like to see a picture of that. Those stupid headliner speakers are such a joke. Think just swapping the speakers out without any power upgrades would do any good?

    I wonder what he used? 3.5" 30W? I'm kinda willing to buy a set of whatever and give it a shot.

    The wiring is already there right? Literally anything has to be better than the piezo pos's that are there. I really want to make significant upgrades to my stereo, but a bandaid for now would be awesome. I've even briefly considered just bringing a Bluetooth speaker along with me. At 60+mph the stock stereo just doesn't cut it

    Lol I remember the those days. I couldn't hear a damn thing with OEM audio. The only thing I haven't upgraded is the tweeters and those hockey pucks in the head liner.

    So this is what we're working with. The wiring is there of course but how's the quality? Meh..

    I can't remember what the connector pins look like. So I'd have to pull the liner down and take a look or blindly buy something and do a little rewiring.

    It's worth a shot if the guy is being %100 honest about the difference it makes :notsure:

    This right here is what i picture a Tacoma could/should look like. I would love to see more details about the build like suspension, tire size etc. looks like trimmed flairs. impressive look for sure.

    Went camping last weekend with some friends and saw some of the best fall colors I've ever seen. I have a lot more pictures and some video from the drone but haven't downloaded it yet.
