Thank you for the wiring problem, I am 16 years old, and I am in progress of restoring my brother's old 1996 toyota tacoma, and I bought LED lights for it, couldn't find the problem with the wiring until I stumbled upon you video, thank you!
Incredible! Someone who doesn't edit out the errors, and instead turns the entire situation into something we can all learn from! Awesome. An instant subscribe from me anyway.
@@kashoutcris9487 No. Did you buy H4 harness for the head lights? I had a problem with getting the brights to come on, but that was caused by my switch, not the lights.
I actually really appreciate that you kept your "failed" first attempt at "plug and play" because that's EXACTLY what I experienced when I went to plug in my LED light. Same as you, I swapped the wiring around (actually tried many other combos too), but kept getting High Beams on all the time, and when flashing my high beams, it turned off... Then searched a bit and found that Toyotas are switched ground, and these lamps assume a more standard switched positive. So we need the relay wiring kit you ordered (or I guess you can wire it yourself, but for $18, the parts and time to do it is worth that much). Had I seen your video before I started this project, I would have known what to expect and saved some time, but oh well, it's always trial and error with these old Toyotas. BTW, my car is a 1986 MR2 (AW11), and I also have a 1988 Celica (ST165) and 1992 Celica (ST185): they all had the same issue - pretty safe to assume any old Toyotas with the H6054 7x6 headlights have the same wiring. P.S. Also got a good laugh about the rusted headlight ring retainer screw. Those damn things are always rusted on every Toyota I had and the Vise Grip method is my favorite method too!
I just want to personally thank you for this video. I have a 1990 Toyota pick up that I just put some of these in. Went ahead and got the harness just to be safe, and sure enough it was needed! if it weren’t for you showing what was wrong I would’ve probably had an extremely difficult time figuring it out. Thank you so much! I love my new headlights so far. ♥️
Thank you for sharing! Purchased these for my dad with the harness after watching this video. Just installed them today and they made a world of a difference!
Thank you for making this video! I installed a set of these same lights I got on ebay last year in my 87 and had run into the same issue with mine which never came with the adapter or instructions.. so I only set up my low beams and was dragging my feet on the idea of having to rewire the factory switching. Now that I know about this adapter I wont have to! Otherwise I've been running these lights for a year and enjoy mine too
Thank you for uploading this! It really helped me out. I lucked out and didn’t need to unscrew the metal frame around the headlight, I got new hologram ones and they came with it. All I need to do was remove the bolts that keep it in place and position it and a spring.
This was just what I was looking for! I’m in Hawaii and the salt eats my truck so watching you deal with something I might come across was really helpful! Thanks for showing everything
@@6thGearGarage Installed in about an hour. Just like yours, i didn’t have a solid ground connection on the passenger side. A little finagling and lo and behold we’ve got Hi and Lo beams. I had to take the battery out to work on the right side. A minor PIA. I couldn’t have done it without your detailed explanation. Many many thanks.
Good video. I went from using one, to using two H4 harnesses. The stock Toyota has redundancy (separate fuses for left and right). This setup only uses one Toyota fuse and has only one fuse going from the battery to both headlights. Either fuse blows and both headlights go out at the same time. With two harnesses, I'm using both Toyota fuses left and right, and now running separate fuses for left and right headlights from the battery. Interesting, the high beam indicator light on the dash didn't work with one harness, but now works with two. I simply cut off the part of the harness I was no longer using that went to the second headlight, capped off the exposed wire ends with small wire nuts and some electrical tape. I then added wire to the hot on one harness to reach across to the battery. I used the leftover wire and conduit to lengthen the hot and soldered and taped the connections on the hot. Then it's just plug and play. A good investment for only 17 dollars for the second harness. Much, much safer to have each side fused separate so you don't risk losing both headlights at once!
I bought a kit with the many led lights for my 84 Toyota and was very frustrated my brights wouldn’t work. I bough a wiring kit from somewhere out west similar to the one you bought and plugged it up the same way. Still didn’t work. It was a waste of 50 bucks. I hardwired a toggle switch to turn on my brights. I’m really disappointed and am looking for some nice good old fashioned bright halogens now. Glad your stuff worked mine was a waste.
Nice job on the video, funny thing, I got the exact same headlights before I saw your video for my lj78, the LC forum I belong to clued me into the relay harness so when I ordered the lights I did the relay, sometimes having an issue is a good learning experience especially when presented in a video format for learning, after all that’s what these are all about and to see a potential issue ahead of time is always a good thing. Once again, nice job!!
Nice video…definitely a big upgrade over the stock H6054 sealed beams. I also ran into the same issue when installing my JW Speaker 8900 H6054 LED headlights on my 1994 Toyota pickup. Toyota trucks use a double switched ground system which causes the issue since the LED’s headlights are designed to work with a switched positive system. After installing the H4 harness all worked perfectly. Light output is excellent with a very clean cut-off. High beams are insanely bright and usable! Yours came out great!👍🏻
I've got these same lights on both my Nissan hardbody trucks, and with the first click of the h/l switch, they go into DRL (daytime running light). Just the vertical LEDs on the sides light up, i think it looks dope!! They actually put out some light too, sometimes I forget to put my headlights on bc the DRLs are bright enough & i don't realize it Anyhow, Awesome video man. I appreciate how thorough you were!.
great video , i went through the exact same problems on my 84 except rust because iam in nevada . once you go to LED theres no going back , the only drawback ive found is driving in snow the LEDs dont get as hot so snow builds up on them instead of melting off although i heard there now making heated LEDs
just FYI if you still have the truck the H4 harness likely has saved your electrical system specifically the headlight knob and the wiring into the stem toyotas run all headlight power through the stem the relay harness fixes that part by the switch just operating a relay i have mine now operating 2 relays (using the non used headlight socket) so my offroad light bar does not work if im running high beams (which is illegal in some states) an if i cut off the lights all of them go off
@@6thGearGarage Just got it done yesterday and I couldnt be any happier. Only thing I need to do now that Ive installed the new headlights is I should have gotten a housing that supports DRL. So I may do a swap down the road if my friend is willing to take the existing ones off of my hands.
I'm about to order these rightnow lol. My friends been doing upgrades to his jeep and i feel left out i havnt done much to my 84toyota pickup. Thanks for the vid!
You could try looking for a part # on the old relay and searching for that part online. If they aren't available then you may need to buy another harness.
Ah dang. When your driver side light didn't work after attaching the harness I was hoping you'd give me some guidance ha. Mine Stull doesn't work with the harness, only the passenger does. Customer support said it should work which wasn't helpful.
@@6thGearGarage I feel dumb. I double checked my grounds... and I should've triple checked. The bolt it was on apparently isn't grounded so I moved it to the frame bolt and it worked. I'm gonna go smash more coconuts.
@@brandonhearn4746 I’ve been there, same issues. Sometimes paint or surface rust can prevent the ground from having a good connection, even though it looks grounded.
@@6thGearGarage exactly what it was. Now I'm dealing with the bumper blinker light. Replaced the bulb and now it won't work haha. Put the old bulb back and it still doesn't work so 🤷 I'll be over here breaking and replacing lol.
Damn I did exactly this. Before I got the harness, all the lights in the new fixture came on when I turned on low beams, this is after I switched the black and yellow wire like you did (I also suspect the previous owner switched the lows and highs because the factory lights were so dim). After getting the harness I did exactly what you did and nothing. I cleaned the grounds and am sure I did exactly what you did but neither lows or highs worked when I tested them. I will post an update if I figure it out in case anyone is experiencing the same but if you have any ideas of something simple I may be doing wrong or not checking they would be greatly appreciated!
Did you try switching the wires back? I didn't even use that short extension harness that allows you to switch the wires that came with the LED headlights after I bought the full $20 relay harness.
I'm with you, I love the classic look. The light output is so much better though, I feel more comfortable driving at night. Of course, I kept the glass lights in case I ever want to go back to OEM :)
Great video and love the channel. Just installed the same LED headlights you used and also the relay harness. All worked except only have high beams. Cleaned grounds, no change. Unplugged new headlights and replugged in the old and now get high and low beams through the original headlights. Do you have any suggestions or ideas why the new lights only have high beams?
The harness listed from amazon is currently out of stock. Know any other ones on Amazon that will work? I want to do this to my pickup as well! Thanks for the video/ tutorial! Love all your stuff so keep it coming!
You'll need to splice into the factory wires for those lights. I didn't get those kind because I wanted to leave the original wiring alone in case I ever go back to stock.
What year is this truck??? You should mention it in the video, title, and or description. You don't in any of them. I just upgraded mine with the newest 2021 lights like these but with the DRL / turn signal lens at the bottom. I replaced the 4 trim ring screws with stainless steel which are M4 -.07 x 10mm.
Thanks so much for doing this. I’m starting my modding adventure on an 89 Toyota pickup sr5. What do you suggest for forums to search for parts for the pickup? Also do you have any preferences for aftermarket accessories such as winches+bumper, led tail lights, etc? Thank you so much for knowledge and time you share with the community. #legend 👍🏾🔥
I've never worked on the 89+ trucks, but I've bought parts from LCE, Low Range, Trail Gear, 22re performance - all good companies. Old Man Emu, Marlin Crawler are a couple more good ones. Just stay away from the cheap stuff made in china and you'll be good.
@@6thGearGarage Yep, keep adding all those crap after markets parts and you'll turn your Yota into a POS Ford-like vehicle. Nothing like screwing up the best made trucks on the planet.
I have a 1990 Toyota Hilux and I was wondering how do you keep the corner lights on while the main headlights are switched on as well? How did you wire it? Please lmk ASAP !! Thank you in advance
Hey, thanks for all the videos on your Toyota. I just got an 84 Toyota Pickup. I replaced the headlight with the TRUCKMALL brand like you did in this video Do you have a lot of people flashing their brights at you? Did you make any adjustments to the lights? What do you think of the lights after a year of use?
So far no complaints but I am going to aim the lights a little lower because they’re so bright. Nobody has flashed me yet, but I don’t drive it at night very often.
Im pretty sure I followed your instructions and lights are working great. Only thing is... now my truck won’t start. Dash lights are on, power seems normal but it won’t turn over the starter which it sounds like. Any solution

You'll need to splice into the factory wires for those lights. I didn't get those kind because I wanted to leave the original wiring alone in case I ever go back to stock.
AAcura TSX, Tesla and many newer cars with extremely bright lights blinds incoming traffic and will cause more accidents.
@6thgeargarage what did you bolt the relays too? Thanks for the help buddy
I didn't bolt them, just zip tied them securely to the harness and tucked them in the space between the battery and the side of the engine bay.

6th Gear Garage you are my hero. Thank you! This helped immensely, I have a lot more ideas just browsing through these sites. 🙏🏾 You rock.
@@6thGearGarage Yep, keep adding all those crap after markets parts and you'll turn your Yota into a POS Ford-like vehicle. Nothing like screwing up the best made trucks on the planet.
Loved it
Thanks, I’m still running these lights…. Don’t think I’ll ever go back to halogens.
@@6thGearGarage Just installed on my 94 yesterday. Man, they are bright
Just found your video/channel , great video👍👍
I have a 93 Toyota pickup. Where can I get the LED headlight wireing harness?
There is a link for it in the video description
I have a 1990 Toyota Hilux and I was wondering how do you keep the corner lights on while the main headlights are switched on as well? How did you wire it? Please lmk ASAP !! Thank you in advance
That is how all of the US Toyota trucks of this generation come from the factory.
Just completed this and everything worked except for the side marker lights and side turn signal on the pax side. Any suggestions?
It sounds like a wiring/connection issue, assuming the bulb is good
Where did you get the front bumper please? I have one 1987 and I am looking for it.
Best,
Ricardo
The steel tube part is custom made

I have a 1986 Toyota Mini-Cruiser RV. Do I need the harness?
Yes I think you will need it.
@@6thGearGarage thank you for your quick response
Hey, thanks for all the videos on your Toyota. I just got an 84 Toyota Pickup. I replaced the headlight with the TRUCKMALL brand like you did in this video Do you have a lot of people flashing their brights at you? Did you make any adjustments to the lights? What do you think of the lights after a year of use?
So far no complaints but I am going to aim the lights a little lower because they’re so bright. Nobody has flashed me yet, but I don’t drive it at night very often.
@@6thGearGarage I think I’ll do the same since I do a lot of night driving. Good luck with yours and thanks for the help.
I’m about to do this swap
How are your hradlamps holding up? Any issues or further recommendations?..thks..j
They've held up great with no problems. Driving at night is so much better now.
@@6thGearGarage thks..jc
What’s the link for the front two bumpers? Please?
The lower front bumper is custom made
Where's the link for the hardness
It's in the description
So where's the link to buy that harness I'm in need of it
There's a link in the description. Mine is still working great.
Nice truck..but those lights will just piss off other drivers😎
Im pretty sure I followed your instructions and lights are working great. Only thing is... now my truck won’t start. Dash lights are on, power seems normal but it won’t turn over the starter which it sounds like. Any solution
Are the battery terminals tightened all the way?
Will this fit 93 toyota pick up sr5?
Yes as long as it uses a standard 6x7 headlight (sometimes called 5x7) And you'll need the relay harness I used in the video.
