CLOSED - The Retrofit Source GB

Could you link that thread with the pictures? I wired mine today but haven't zip tied them up yet.

 

Easiest way to water proof is to cut the connectors and hard wire them, with heat shrink and some silicone

 

Hot glue gun works just as well as ge silicone

 

Sure. http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/lighting/259416-started-my-d2s-retrofit.html

 

It looks like there is a free hole there just to the passenger side of the passenger side of the radiator. I just checked, and it will clear all the A/C lines going through. The drivers side is the same if you remove the wire tie down for the horn, and use its hole. The horn wires are held down in several other locations, so I'm just going to push it to the drivers side more, and leave that one tie down off.

 

Here's the passenger side:


Driver's side with wire tie down removed:


Where I'm thinking about mounting the relay harness:

 

Those look like they'll work. I mounted my relay box in the same area. I think I zip-tied it to the ground cable or the hood release cable.

 

Just talked like 3 kids with 4runners into buying sets told them to mention TW on their order not sure if it'll matter or not

 

Won't fly.

This GB is for active participants on this forum. Andrew has changed the code a number of times after it has seemed that the code has "leaked".
Even low-post new members here on TW have been rejected.

T4R and other forums have their own GBs and codes.

 

Do you have any pictures of when you did this? I don't like that the light is obstructed when mounted behind the shroud but I also don't like that the rings a super yellow when not lit. It's going to stand out a lot since I plan on blacking out my housings and shrouds.


Also I just went back and counted the number of people that posted "I just ordered" and we have 8 if Gogecko's 2 orders are seperate. Can you confirm this Andrew?? Hoping for a tracking number soon

 

So I got everything installed yesterday, and finished everything up this morning. Before I resealed the lights everything was fine. Now when I turn on high beams the passenger side stays in high beams and doesn't return back to low beams when it's supposed to (driver side works fine). What is the process for getting things returned and a replacement sent out?

 

Maybe pm Andrew or give them a call. So it actually goes to high from low just doesn't return to low right?

 

Yeah that's correct it will go to high beams every time but it won't return back to low beams when it's supposed to. I'll call trs tomorrow.

 

Does it return when you shut the lights off ? Or does it stay stuck open, if it stays open then it's the solenoid sticking if it goes back down then it's a voltage problem. Mine did it at first and they sent me new solenoids, I used a wooden skewer to put in there and knock the shield back down so I could keep using them

 

I think behind the shroud is a good combo of both I've got some pics in my build thread

 

No it stays open. The only way that it comes back down is if I tap the lens itself several times. It's not a voltage issue. By "new solenoids" do you mean you sent you a whole new projector or just the insides of the projector?

 

Yeah sounds like their sticking, did you paint your shield or anything inside of the projector ? They supposedly fixed the solenoid issue but yes the little silver square on the back of the projector they'll just send you new ones

 

Nope didn't paint anything inside the pro and didn't even take it apart. Just plugged it in and worked until I got it installed in the truck.

 

How long ago did you buy yours?

 

Got them less than 2 weeks ago.
