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

Yeah you need to get them turned off asap! Running them at half power will not be good at all. Honestly I'd disconnect the hid's until I got them off. There's a wire that you need to snip under the dash on your year:

Plug one of your factory bulbs up to make sure the drl's are off.

 

I'm not doubting whether it's real or not.

Just keep being impressed with the ingenuity of members here.

 

I would try to wire up the day time lights to run your halo's.

 

I cut mine in half and moved them outboard an inch or two.

 

I wouldn't. The drls are lower voltage so the halos wont be lit to their full potential. I wired mine into the corner lights.

 

X2 thats what I did

 

Yea its way worth it. Its always in the way on 2nd gens.

Haha for some reason your not the first to say that. I sorta figured most knew that. It is a bit ridiculous but i like it haha new rims ill be getting only push out them more too..

true that. Guy just made a few for fun now he sells em all the time. For cheap too if i recall right.

 

$3.77 delivered.

I plugged one into my passenger side harness and voila...high beam indicator.

 

I wonder why you guys' aren't working? I just plugged it all up and mine works fine, no additions.

 

Ordered one of those 2 weeks ago need to go get it from the parents mail

 

Oh yeah, I finally ordered some new mesh for my grill from HomerTaco. Can't wait to see how much better it looks!

 

No idea...it's not uncommon though.

 

New hankook dynapro atm rf10 p255/75/17 with level 8 17" wheels. I'm loving this setup as it is soooo much smoother than the bfg atko that I had on the truck.

 

Thanks for the link Jacob! I got the DTRL's turned off, now just gotta splice into the parking lights for the halos.

 

Well, I fitted my windshield/dashboard rubber a little better...

oh nice. I'll have to get one. First things first though. I need to figure out why my high beams aren't working haha.

 

New tank mount made. It isn't moving.

 

Nice!

 

aaaaand I cleaned all the truck's glass using "Invisible Glass" (I like it better than Windex) & then applied "Rain-X Original".

The Result (VIDEO) - Click on the image to see the short clip of rain beading-- don't know how to make the video linked on this post:



I didn't expect it to work that quickly, or be that efficient in beading the rain -- I like!

 

Hey do you guys know where to get those little piece of film that I see a few guys put on there head lights to make the truck looks a bit cooler? Its almost like little pieces of tint and they do them diagonal across the head light to where the truck looks like its frowning, if that makes sense? I saw another 1st gen taco drive by me today with it and I like the look of it.
