The Lair

Now I get to rig up a good organization system! I'm already loving it! Only thing left to do it bed liner the cap

 

You're pretty much going through what I went through!! You're gonna love it.

 

Ebay just sent this to me. $100 off $400 or more on wheels and tires. I hope someone gets a somkin’ deal

 

How do I hook up the third brake light on the cap? Do tacos come with the wiring harness for it?

 

you have to tap into your tail lights with the harness that fits the cap plug

 

It was easy. There should be two wires coming from the light on the cap, a positive and a ground. Both get tapped into the taillight with a couple basic wire taps. I'll find you the colors in a bit.

 

Wired the led's up last night for a test. Just placed the trim piece on top of the headlight at the same angle as if it was mounted.
OMG bright!
These are more like FU lights. I'll take some pics from the cab this weekend for comparison.

 

Good lord those are bright!

 

So....if you install switchback led's for the DRLs, is there any special wiring needed or will the bulb automatically sense when the signal light is engaged? Anyone know or have experience with them?

 

you will have hyperflash if you install leds where your signals are, you need a new relay to run them.

i run the diode dynamics relay but you lose the dtrl module

 

Sounds too complicated. Reason I ask is I saw a Tacoma in the turning lane across from me today and his DTRL were white LED but the other side was amber as his blinker was flashing.

 

Does this help?

Reading it now.

yep, i knew about it at the time but i went with diode dynamics because you can program features into your hazards, locking lights, and signals. Tap to signal is what sold me

 

also the dtrls melted my first lens so i got rid of it and was happy to not have to deal with it or burning out bulbs

 

Yeah, my OEM lights have the melted lens as well.

 

You need to install resistors, hyperflash is caused by too much power going through the light and as leds are more efficient you need a resistor to cut down the power before it reaches the light

 

Scored a $400 2800psi gas power washer from Craigslist for $175! Then it ran out of gas

 

*Sigh* *unzips*

 

That is a toy. Probably an expensive toy haha
