    If you mean Toyota, yeah you can buy them from Toyota. I’m just saying based on you having a TRD Offroad, they were added by prior owner and need to be wired as it’s not a plug n play addition. I’m guessing the wiring job wasn’t completed or somehow both bulbs are dead which is doubtful.

    Yea, and I bought the truck from a dealership and they wouldn't wire the turn signal mirrors for me even though they sold it... Said they "didn't know how" which is ridiculous imo. One day I'll get around to paying someone to wire them

    While we are all here, maybe someone can point me in the right direction
    Whenever I turn left into a driveway that goes up, there's an awful crunching noise that comes from the front drivers side. Even at low speeds. And it only happens while turning left and going up (even the slightest). I'm sure there's a post somewhere on here about this?

    Well, for one, they sold it, they "washed their hands of it". They may not wish to discuss it, for better or for worse.

    They may have moved on, they may have not, they may have had to let it go due too unfortunate circumstances, or simply to get a newer model, the possibilities are endless.

    In my case, i have tons of "wtf were you thinking" questions which wont lead to any positive other than "you dumbass, i wish i would have looked at that before i bought it"

    In the end, its not theirs now, its mine. Whatever problems i have, they are mine and i need to figure them out for myself, for better or for worse.

    Just my outlook on things, no offense meant!

    I hope you find the answers that you seek!

    Lower control arm bushings are often the culprit.

    Lol!!!!

    Well, what i said goes both ways (giggity?)
    I guess that's why i have the mentality that i do, for better or for worse lol

    There are some writeups out there for the turn signals no doubt. Hangout, read some, post some, learn more. Show up to a mod day or two and someone will offer to lend a hand no doubt. I would, but im still in the "learn more" stages myself lol

    I was a filthy "guest user" for years before i registered. Lurked for another 4 months before i drove up to a shindig in sac. Some good people up that way. Keep your eyes open, something will come up in the next few months im sure.

    Until then, read read read. My wallet has yet to forgive me but i learn something new everyday it seems.
