Thanks, gonna pick some of these up, will update if they don’t hyper flash in mine since my came stock with LED headlights. Phillips hyper flashed for me

 

Do you have MESO ultimate turn lights in your mirrors? If so, I'm pretty sure they have resistors in them so people should consider that with your comments. I'm definitely not an expert on electrical stuff but figured I'd add this.

 

I have Meso turn signals but I had hyper flash with them before installing the resistors. Why would the Meso mirror signals have additional resistors? The stock mirror flasher is already LED. Can @MESO confirm this?

 

He'll have to speak to why but it is noted on the product page: https://mesocustoms.com/collections/toyota-tacoma-3rd-gen/products/ultimate-turn-signals

 

I’ll wait to find out from Meso but maybe this is a new addition to his Ultimate Turn Signals? I had his turn signals way before converting everything to LED’s and I had to pick up some Sylvania load resistors to fix the hyper flash with the OEM headlights and the Meso Ultimate Turn Signals.

 

I got Mike’s wire harness arriving Saturday and my Headlights arriving tomorrow. Already have the oem led fogs installed.

 

I just sent the money to Mike last night for my harness

For the headlights did you go with TRD Pro or just the Standard LED?

Which OEM fogs did you go with, the kind that come from the Tundra and what not?



Part #

$124 Toyota PT413-42191 Fog Light (Black), 1 Pack

PT41342191?

 

I went with the TRD Pro Rigid lights, cause they look better.
But the standard LED fog lights perform far better than the Rigids.

 

I wonder how far off the color is of the OEM Fog lights

PT41342191 and the OEM LED....

 

I went with the standard and the Tacoma led fogs. Got them from the dealer i got my truck from and fogs off Amazon.

 

Well without Meso Ultimate turns, Sylvania doesn’t function the same way for me. I still hyper flash without load resistors. So there is probably a resistor in yours.

 

Just got home from the dealership from picking up the headlights and mikes harness was sitting in the mailbox. Going to install first thing in the morning. Top notch work on the harness and headlights look soo good in person.

 

Awesome!

Please take any notes or tips /photos for me!

Good luck and enjoy!

 

Here is how to do it the hard way.


Pro tip: don’t install the headlight inside the metal, make sure it slides into place on the outside where it belongs. In other words, pay close attention to the outside edge and make sure it is lined up while you slide into position. Speaking from experience (had to drop the bumper a second time once I realized my mistake). I’m pretty sure I’m the only bonehead who did that though.

 

Have you had issues with condensation in the headlight?

 

Has anyone experienced condensation inside the headlight housing?

 

Your data is here for the fogs: Toyota LED fogs 6235k
And here for the headlights: Toyota OEM LED headlights 6164k

Aka there is a 71k color temp difference, meaning they are practically identical.

 

Got mine installed this morning and my wife said they look more beefy. Lol. Loving the drl’s and don’t think i need to align much if any. Came pretty level with the old halogen’s but i’ll drive some tonight and see. Took about an hr and half. Pretty easy just have to go slow and mask the bumper in places you may bump or scratch. Also covered the lenses until the lights were bolted in. Didn’t force anything in but just went gentle and let the housing line up to the mounts. Tested all functions like turn signal, hazards, parking and everything is functional. Matt’s harness worked perfectly. Can’t wait till it gets dark to take a test drive.

 

Man, this is the last big thing I want on my truck. I don’t see many of these OEM LED headlights around where I live. They’re reserved exclusively for the limited/pros. So not having them on most Tacoma’s that I’ve seen have made it easier to wait it out a bit.

anyone from Canada made the jump to these headlights? Barring the cost, I think these are a worthy upgrade. I wonder if these would have a reduced price over the next couple years.
