The ultimate headlight upgrade H4 (not LED or HID)

That may be why I never used it! I’ll have to check later.

 

Thanks for posting that, didn’t know it existed!

wanna part with it?

 

Probably

 

If you do, pm me with a price

 

Let me find it tomorrow and I’ll PM you.

 

That's a decent price. As a reminder, BulbAmerica has them for $8/ea and free S&H, when in stock.

 

Really curious about whether the Rago bracket fits the relays too. I mounted my wire harness last year with zip ties near the front just behind the grill, and I just found some of the wires have had their insulation rubbed through from contacting a metal panel edge. Looks like I need to buy a new harness and do a more robust installation.

 

OK, ok, I'll go hunt for my relay bracket, should have done that days ago...

 

No super clean option but I could see an intermediate adapter marrying the two together.

 

Actually, I see it now. Granted this harness is for my '02 Tundra which is ground switched, but this plan may work fine for the 2 relay power switched version too.
I'll cut a small slot into the plastic relay connector on each side near the back. I think dremel with a wheel should work.
Then I'll fill the void between the 4 tines of the fork with one relay each so that the tine fits into the slot.
I think that'll do nicely if I don't mangle it all up. The alternative is a new set of relay connectors which slide right onto the tines if I can locate the proper part. De-pinning these relay connectors isn't hard to do so if I can source it that may be the preferred route.
Regardless, the slide together part isn't really compatible with this relay mounting bracket.

 

This is all I did for my 2014. Not very elegant, but it worked perfectly.

 

This is what I came up with on my '08. I used some left over Subaru screws to attach.

 

I have this mod done on my 2014 Tacoma. I love it... with that said, do you make a kit for the 4th gen 4runners as well?

 

Not sure there are any vendors in this thread. Have you checked with Headlight Services and/or Susquehanna MotorSports (RallyLights) directly?

 

Not yet, I thought I read in the OP’s first post that if you have questions to post in here. I’ll reach out via other means.

 

OP is an enthusiast owner and lighting genius who answers countless questions about the (Tacoma) testing and mods he's done. To the best of my knowledge, however, he's not a harness manufacturer or vendor. From your "...do you make a kit for the 4th gen 4runners as well?" question, I inferred you were asking whether a particular vendor (or vendors) offer 4th gen 4runner harnesses. Apologies if I misunderstood your meaning.

 

No you’re right I thought the OP was the one who makes these harnesses.

 

I don’t make or sell anything, I just provided product reviews based on data backed product testing as an automotive and lightning enthusiast to help others.

4th Gen 4Runner uses 9005/9006, correct? No harness is necessary there.

The proper mod here is to swap to 9011/9012 HIRs. Significantly more output, no greater power draw.

See post #5237 for the most advanced 9011 HIR, the new Korean Sylvanias.

For the best 9012s, that would be the Volsa +120 HIRs, super hard to find in the states:

Minor trimming is needed on a single external plastic tab of the bulb collar to make these fit, for significant gains in output performance.

 

By chance, do you know what bolt (thread count/ pitch) those existing holes take? I have my parts on the bench now for this swap, and I like the simple clean mounting you came up with for the relay.

 

Ok we are in test faze. replaced with TYC from rock auto and put leds in DRL so far no hyperflash. Today will be first time on road with these alittle pricy but .....

Edit: Day 1 drove around no hyperflash in turn signals.
