Drunknsloth- awesome, thanks man.

Would this relay be suffient enough?

Do you know how many amps the heating element takes to run?

The relay says its 12VDC/40A so I'm willing to bet that it is more then enough.

 

Thanks Drunknsloth been stuck working all day finally has time to check stuff

My bad adio

 

You need to run a relay if you are using the Highlander switch. It will fail if you don't.

 

You should always run a relay as an extra precaution...(depending on the application)

 

Drunksloth- I'm not really sure how much amps the heating element takes to run.

Jerez- it's all good man. that's why I love this community, lots of help from different members.

One more thing, has anyone ran there's as DTRL's? I'm thinking of doing the same thing, but with a switch. Possible??

 

Anything over 10 Amps I would definitely run a relay. It depends a lot on how much the switch you are using and other components can take.

I don't see why not, you would just need to wire it to the DTRL's. Do you have them already?

 

Drnknsloth- yes I do have DTRL's.

I do want to put some kind of switch to be able choose to turn it on or off. haha another thing to try and figure out.

thanks again for the big help

 

No problem:

Here's the DTRL switch mod:

^^Cool, thanks.
Only thing I'm thinking about is how I would go in connecting that to the turn signals on the mirrors


Finally got the turn signals connected and working. Gonna wire up the foot lamp tomorrow. As for the heated mirror function that'll have to wait. Have to order the switch online. Local parts center wanted 109$ because they have to special order it, ain't no way in hell I'll fork up that much for a switch.

 

finished up the wiring on the foot lamp. have to wait on wiring up the heated function.

thanks again for the big time help everyone

 

Totally forgot about this thread.

Okay, I don't care about heat... do the '12 Tacoma mirrors have the foot lights?
That and power is what I really want.

 

^^ no foot lights, just integrated turn signal and power mirrors.

 

Bummer.

Really want the foot lights but don't want to spend $500

 

you can always go aftermarket, it's a lot more affordable. some already had the success on installing them.

 

Hey Adio, lets see some pics of yours soon...

 

here's some night pics, grainy pics from my iPhone but I'll take better ones later on. but I can vouch that they look a lot better in person. has that premium look to it

 

Looks great man

A buddy of mine wants to buy mine off of me...made me and offer the moment he saw them

 

Looks nice, love the foot lamps...

 

thanks guys.
