What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Did you buy from TRS? That looks nothing like my relay and every connection on my relay was labeled.

1. Mount the relay anywhere you want on the drivers side. I bolted mine in to the right of the battery where my drl module used to be.
2. Since it has the inline fuse that goes to your battery and powers everything.
3. Since its the longest it will go to the passenger side. Male should plug into the ballast and the U connector is the ground for the ballast.
4. Same as 3 but this one should go to the drivers side ballast.
5. This should plug into the stock harness. I would assume it would be the high/low input to the relay.

I hope I didn't get any of those mixed up since I'm on my phone. Also if you lay the relay out on the floor it should make a little more sense. I can take some pictures when I get home if you like.

 

Thanks Jacob! Yeah I ordered from TRS. You layed it out the same way another member said it should be aswell. Maybe my relay is defferent because of the year difference?

a couple questions I have are... if #5 (lone female plug) connects to the stock harness shouldnt there be 2, one for each healight? or does the stock harness have just one main conection that feeds to both headlights?

also, where do the projector and Halo wires conect to?

Im almost positive I have the relay and ballasts all figured out. Now im just wondering where the Lone female plug connects and where the wires that are sticking out of the headlight assembly connect (wires from solenoid on projector & Halo wires)?

Is any of the stock headlight wiring used?

 

Just the stock bulb plug, your halo wires need to be hard wired to either your parking lights or to a switch

 

Like Afroman said, I spliced the halos into my corners so that they come on with the first click of the lights. You could also wire them on their own switch if you want. And as far as the projector plug ins go, my relay had plugs for them... I don't see them on your relay. I just got home so I'll go take some pictures in a second, but our relays are nothing alike.

 

He's got the wrong relay 9006

 

spent some money on mine. Christmas can't get here soon enough..

 

Well, that blows. Better be sending that back for a 9003/H4 relay then

 

PICS!?!

...maybe I should check your build thread...

 

no pics yet

Just a big invoice

 

i know what you bought (i think)

 

It better be LT

 

Put some new lights in from superbrightleds

Before


After

 

Wow, what a difference!

 

I did that same thing a few weeks ago.

 

Thanks Jacob and Afroman. Even though we figured out I had the wrong relay harness, which sucks, but I'm glad that got figured out. Hopefully everything will have its place once the correct wiring harness comes in. Thanks again!

 

No problem man

 

Yeah man, anytime! The H4 harness will make a lot more sense, very easy.

 

Just cut this rusty peice off!

 

^^ Nice! I think it looks so much cleaner like that. I was unsure of cutting mine off but I'm glad I did!

 

Changed the spark plugs. Went with NGK Iridium plugs. Took about twenty minutes outside in the dark. Also installed Phillips X-treme power headlight bulbs. Pretty sure the ones I replaced were factory original. Much brighter now!
