VLEDs LED switchback / super bright DTRL / bulbs TRITON GROUPBUY

Ditto

 

I didn't even think about that, I'll have to go back and do this. Thx!

 

any of these still available? also when it says amber only $90, is that for the Amber Amber switchback kit that is usually $139? http://www.vleds.com/bulb-type/tail-brake-turn-signal/3157-3157ck-3156-led/amber-led/v3-aa.html

or the $99 amber only kit? http://www.vleds.com/bulb-type/tail-brake-turn-signal/3157-3157ck-3156-led/amber-led/v3-a.html

 

When ordering them do I need to fill out any these options for my DTRLs?
Im buying these for to replace my DTRLs http://www.vleds.com/v3-wa-6k1.html


Also I would like to purchase these for my rear back up lights
Do I need to get an adaptor with these http://www.vleds.com/v3-w-6k-3015.html for my rear back up light socket?

Thank you for your time

 

When Burt finishes my Retro, I'll do a write up , and post some pics...!!

 

Finally got mine yesterday, I was under the impression it will be plug and play (the wiring is, the fitment of the actual LED in to the headlight housing, not so much) so my question is do I have to put up with it not being tight as OEM blinkers are or is there a fix, or am I doing something wrong? Also, I'm pretty sure one of the LED blinkers is DOA. Ballast (controller?) and the LED itself. Swapped both LEDs and controllers in both blinkers and every combination between and I can only get 1 to work.

 

Which set of screws did you use...kit comes with 2 each of 3mm, and 4mm, if its loose try the 4mm screws...and switch out the base adapters that push into the trucks wiring harness to see if that has any effect...

 

Thanks for the response, I will give it a shot tomorrow probably. I have not had the time to mess with it lately.

Edit: The base adapter would not make the OEM wiring harness more or less loose though..

 

If the OEM harness(the plug where the stock amber bulb fits) has any corrosion or a bad connection, the base adapter will not fire up the light..I just went thru the exact same scenario.. put the stck amber bulb back in, if it works..then its something in the new Kit....probably the 2 circuit connection in the base adapter....Pull both adapters out and compare the connection wires.

 

You will need to put the metal collar around the bulb and bolt them down with (2) 4mm screws on opposite sides from each other. Also, don't forget to put on the foam rubber gasket around the bulb, below the collar, this will seal it tight in the housing. You should have received 3 different pairs, I had to use the smaller, thin one on mine. If you run your finger on the inside of the headlight housing where the bulb goes, you will feel where the bump stop is at. When you put in the bulb and twist it to lock it, one of the screws will need to hit against that bump stop to lock it tight.

These LEDs switchbacks only works while plugged in one way into the OEM plug. I think it's polarity specific or something like that. I had one that did not turn on with the initial install. Unplugged it from the OEM plug, spun it 180 and plugged it back in and it worked just fine. Not sure about the looseness in the OEM plug, mine was fairly tight.

 

^^^This is correct...the 3157CK circuitry has 2 circuits running through it, if the bulb is not installed with the two wires on the base adapter touching the 2 connectors in the OEM harness, you will get no continuity. Flip it 180*

 

I run the V3s and love them.

 

I finally installed mine last weekend, and I love them. Now I'm just waiting for my back ordered Red rear turn signals.

 

Need help!!! Just finally got some time to install my V3 Triton's, however, I'm have a problem. My drl connector on the vehicle harness does not fit the connector on the ballast, as it seems as if they're different connectors. Is this right, or am I doing something wrong?

 

Is this on your 14 taco? if so, i hope this doesn't happen to me when I order for my 13 taco.

 

Yea, this is for the '14...not too sure if you guys have different connectors on the '13

 

Mike,

I've forward the problem over to vleds customer service. I'll let you know what they say.

 

Did you try plugging in the harness at the bulb socket? looks like you're trying to skip a connection.

it should be;

factory wiring -> factory bulb socket -> Triton bulb socket plug - > Triton harness & relay box -> Triton bulb.

 

From vleds.com

"Tell him not to unplug the stock harness but rather use the V3 bulb base
adapter where the stock bulbs goes to install."

I think that's pretty much what Luka pointed out.

 

I'll try look at it again when I get home tonight.
