    Got flashed for the first time in two years yesterday morning. I did a quick high-0ff mode, and the dude left his on. Wonder how he behaves h the new LED and Jeep bros.

    So I have a 96’ Tacoma xtracab, and I just did the swap. Went with headlight services headlight harness (Mr. Mike was a huge help and very nice!!) and got the Hella e-codes with the osram bulbs. Holy crap, what a huge difference, the e-codes provide a awesome light cut off that is very well defined and once the high beams are cut on, well no deer stands a chance hiding on the side of the road!!! 10/10 recommend this upgrade! Spend the extra money and go with headlight services, the harness is sooo well made, and HEAVY DUTY!!!!

    Does anyone have a schematic to build the headlight service harness? I was going to order one but after conversion the harness will be $270 Canadian, without import fees. I had found a schematic a Tacoma world member designed but it utilizes 4 relays, I believe the headlight service on uses 2 if I am not mistaken.

    Trudeau tax I would imagine, or dollar is shit right now it seems. That was a quick google search of the exchange rate, it may not be exactly that but usually is pretty close.

    Think it was bc the trade agreement went south after the UK vote. I used to get a lot of audio stuff & most of it came in almost duty free. How times have changed. Shipping went up too.
