Thank you thank you thank you! Dealing with some Chinese guy with broken english on Ebay was a nightmare. Went to UA-cam and found some dude that only Jerry rigged a relay together and talked more about what was occurring with the Toyota electrical and showing off the brightness of the lights. Very thankful I found your channel! 20 bucks on Amazon and I'll be in business.
Ordered the same headlights and harness for my 91 and it turned out great! This video helped a lot. Thank you!
just got a 92. this install video will definitely be a great resource for future mods
Thanks for the explanation on the light function. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find info on which lights are parking lights and which are urn signals on any particular older vehicle, much less this one. A good hack would be to convert the parking lights into combination turn signals/parking lights for extra illumination. That integrated turn signal lens in the headlight cluster isn't optimal because it will get "drowned out" from the white light from the main beams. It's perfect because it's located on the front corner.
I've seen the tutorials on converting those corner lights into turn signals on Toyota forums.
There's a relay mod you can do that fixes hyper flashing. You carefully open up the relay and cut a resistor. I did it to my '86 with no problem.
You can also buy an led flasher for a few bucks.
Have 91 4wd and will install the lights soon. Thanks for the video!
I didn't know if I needed a harness or not, thank you, I have a 88 Toyota pickup
had the same problem with my turn signals on my Camry when I had all the exterior lights converted to LED'S.
Had them installed at a local shop in town. they added a 1ohm resister so to slow down the rate of the signal so that there not flashing so fast that they look like there on steady when being used. Love my new LED's headlamps and turn signals. Also have the LED's in the trunk and interior. There great...
Seeing all them extra wires gave me a headache, and makes me appreciate my Truck Lite headlights I put on my toyota pickup a lot more now, they may not have them integrated turn signals but they were a straight up plug and play. Good video my man keep em up.
Where did you order that from? LED?
Great video! Nice Yota
Found it very helpful thank you
omg driving at night is so much better now!
Just installed mine thanks for the help brother ,video and links were spot on!
Glad I could help
thanks for the video i was going krazy dint know about the harness now they look good
Good video and tips. Just bought a 85 now time to change them headlights
Great first mod!
I have a truckmall headlights and the work very well
Interesting and informative.
Nice work
Very nice.
Very Good
Not bad at all!
Great video help me a lot muchas gracias my friend
Glad it helped
I absolutely love sealed beam technology, if only because it allows for seamless upgrading to LEDs. I have an econoline work van I plugged ebay led headlights in and they work like a charm, and I have an econoline conversion van that unfortunately uses the alternate reflector headlight. I am going to 'downgrade' to sealed beams just to get a set of led headlights, and these look very nice for a reasonable amount - the ebay ones cost me 60 dollars versus this one's 80 dollars.
I never realized how dangerous it was to drive at night with the OEM headlights, until I upgraded to these. I can't believe I lived with those original lights for 10 years.
@@6thGearGarage The sealed beams on the Ford van were just as miserable as the Toyota ones, I have photographic proof. The composite headlights on the conversion van, by comparison, are police spotlights, but they don't hold a candle to the led sealed beam replacements. 😄
Was thinking about moving the ground to the other side on the factory plug
Thanks again bro. I gotta get those lights. I have the oem Smitty built bumper.
Nice, I remember when those Smitty builts were everywhere, now they're rare and not cheap!
@@6thGearGarage I have the front and rear. I like um. There sick.
Thanks for showing attachment of each new Headlight ground wire. Simple, but many videos skip this step.
Do wish you showed how you attached twin (connected) Relays to the vehicle.
The relay harness is all one piece, you just have to connect the + and - to the battery.
Love the tube valance under the front bumper.
Got a link for that?
Thanks for the video.
Sorry no I don’t, it was custom made long ago.
What if I were to want to use both the new headlight turn signals and the stock ones? Would it be possible? Great video by the way!
I think that you would just have to splice the wires together and it would work fine
Hi! Nice video! I have a question. Do you know if the "conversion" harness is necessary for a hiace van? Can't find information about it.
I've read this harness is required 'cause Yotas turn from hi to low beam using groud instead of positives, but i don't know if this is exclusive for hiluxs or for all 80's - 90's Toyota.
Greetings!
I think it would be, as many Toyotas from this era use similar wiring for the headlights. Worst case scenario, You'll know for sure if you need it after installing the headlights.
Thumbs up? Completed.
I have this same setup but the only lights that work are the turn signals which I wired as you did. The fuses look good, would it be the headlight relay that went bad? I mean if the turn signals work, why wouldn’t the low/high beams work as well? Could it be the factory harness is bad?
I've heard of the factory harness wires going bad because they get crunchy after decades of use. The turn signals are separate and much less power, so they don't seem to have issues. Can you hear the relay clicking on/off?
Great video, very informative. I bought the same headlights and harness and I plugged everything like I was supposed to but now neither my corner lights or tail lights are working. Any suggestions?
Have you checked the fuses?
@@6thGearGarage I did, the ones in the engine compartment and they look good. Any way I can email you or send you pics?
Thank you for replaying
I just removed the wiring harness for the new lights and plugged in the old ones and all of the lights are working now. Corner lights and tail lights. Any idea what it could be?
@@chrisrm44 I wonder if the LED lights are defective?
Thanks for sharing this!
Can anyone recommend how to also set up the DRL feature? I want to create this on my truck, from similar LED lights, but I am struggling to find a video that covers that!
Many thanks!
Never having DRL, you'll need to wire them manually. You could tap into the fusebox on a circuit that powers up only while the ignition is on, or just run a positive from battery or other constant source with an inline switch (just don't forget to turn them off when you park the truck.)
A digitalflasher Will work. Thats the solutions for fast flashing. Also called LED flasher. IT Will work for all the Turn sigma light.
Thanks for the info!
good video! say i wanted to splice the wire of the turn signal to the stock one, how would I go about doing that?
You can strip the end of both wires and put them both into the spade connector to splice them together.
@@6thGearGarage thanks!
I'm confused why you added an additional relay harness. For HID lights it was necessary because they often pulled more wattage than the halogen bulbs they replaced, but in the world of LED replacements, they pull waaaaay less energy than halogen lights, so I don't understand why the factory wiring would not be sufficient. I'm not trying to be rude or question your excellent work, but I'd like to know what I'm maybe missing.
It's a Toyota thing only because of the way they run power to the factory lights. You wouldn't need the additional harness for other makes.
@@6thGearGarage Yes but what makes Toyota different
@@Coatchawa Toyota uses a double ground to change from hi to low beam, while others use +12v
I did an H4 housing conversion to my 96 miata and my 93 Toyota pickup! And fit with LED bulbs, no relays harness needed in my case, I just use a ceramic H4 plug pigtail adapter, as a precautionary measure but provably not needed it, They both worked great had them on for years now 😅 Hella H4 conversion have bee around for decades and give you excellent beam pattern and have the option to use any type spec H4 bulb you want
Hey! I was wondering if one were to keep the bumpers turn signal and run a wire to the headlights, would that solve the hyperflash?
It might, I believe the LED doesn't have the proper resistance compared to the original bulb.
My plug on the passenger side is broken can this still work or do I need to replace that plug or can I plug it into the other side ?
The relay harness will only reach the headlight plug on the passenger side, because that's also where the battery is.
Where does the relay connect to ? In the fuse box ?
Connect the harness to the battery terminal. nothing connects to the fuse box.
Does the h4 harness work on a 1986 Toyota pickup?
Yes it will
Your turn signal sensing circuit thinks your bulb is blown because you left your ground open on your turn signal harness when you tapped into it. Just ground that wire and it’ll fix the fast blinker.
Awesome, thanks!!
Doing a splice keeping both the new lights and old lights in series would work as well right?
what would i need to do this to a 2nd gen 4runner the headlights are slightly differently shaped
They still use the 5x7 until 1992 I believe. from 92+, these won't work. You'll have to find that exact shape in an aftermarket headlight.
Quick question, so I plugged in everything like you did on your video but when I do, none of the corner lights work. When I leave the new lights plugged in and I plug in an old headlight on the old socket (driver side) all of the corner lights work, including the new ones. Any idea why that might happen? Thanks in advance for the help
Do you know if the factory wiring harness has ever been cut/modified at all?
@@6thGearGarage I think it has because on the fuse box inside the cab by the clutch pedal has some funky wiring coming out of the fuse box. Does that mean I need to replace the whole factory wiring harness for the headlights? Thanks again for replying. Any way I can contact you directly so I can send you a picture of the wiring coming out of the fuse box?
@@chrisrm44 yeah, garage@6thgearadvertising.com I would follow that wiring and see what it goes to.
@@6thGearGarage thanks man. Your videos are great very informative and helpful for people like myself that are not very mechanically inclined. Keep up the good work
So your video help me out with my situation in the harness worked out great but one thing i dont get is the high beam come on when you turn on the lights and to turn them off you have to push the light switch forward is something backwards or normal
Did you install the H4 conversion harness? If not, hi beams will always be on.
@@6thGearGarage I did I bought the same one p that you
@@genesisboston148 What year is your Toyota?
@@6thGearGarage 1984
@@genesisboston148 I wouldn't think that an 84 would be any different, but something definitely isn't right. I'm guessing that the high and low wires are reversed.
Will it use the battery if we keep is plug on it
I'm not exactly sure of the question, but the relay only uses power when the lights are switched on. Hope that helps.
Where did you get that two bar tubular bumper for the front??
It is custom-made.
I was wondering that too
I ordered the same lights and harness . My question is if I want to keep the regular turn signal for the bumper , would this still work on my 97 Tacoma. I just want to use it for the low and high beam .
Yes, just ignore the built in turn signal and use the current one in the bumper.
Here is a version without the built in turn signal amzn.to/3e1Kd1i
@@6thGearGarage thanks for the fast reply , If I hadn’t ordered the other one I would of order this one without turn signal . Thanks
so if my old car doesn't have drl i can't use the drl on these>?
No, you would need to add custom wiring and a switch to get the DRL to work.
I bought a similar set for my 93. The high beams also suck. But I didn't buy em for the high beams.
100% the low beams are so good I don't see myself needing to even use the high beams
@@6thGearGarage I've got a light bar for high beams, should I need it!
@@SingleCab22R why complain about a candle light when you can bring out the sun lol
Is there a reason you chose those lights instead of the makers of the harness? Thks. Jc
No reason, I didn't know that the maker of the harness also made LED lights. I got the lights first, then the harness.
@@6thGearGarage Thks..jc
Why did you select integrated turn signal when you have one in bumper and is there a model without turn signal integrated? Thks..jc
I made this video to show the lights because I was doing a giveaway, wasn't planning to keep them on my truck. I already have a set without the integrated turn signals that I installed in this video:ua-cam.com/video/-V9lLASMNxI/v-deo.html
@@6thGearGarage Thanks..jc
Old charm with new light
Cool and informative, but I really hate Toyota for doing the opposite of everyone else when it comes to the harness. Now I need to put EVEN MORE stuff in the small space of my 3vze 91 4Runner.
Yeah, I wish they could have just kept it simple
Would be nice if u promoted ur shirts while u we’re talking in the beginning instead of when ur taking off the bumper in the most important part of the headlight assembly.
I put it with the grill removal time lapse because I has just explained how the grill clips work beforehand. I felt the time lapse wasn't very important.
I HAVE A 2003 TOYOTA HILUX 2.8DIESEL 3L ENGINE. BATTERY IS ON DRIVER SIDE. DOES THAT MEAN THE SHORTER CONNECTOR FROM THE HARNESS GOES FIRST IN THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT, AND THE LONGER ONE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT?
Exactly, it would be the exact opposite of mine.
@@6thGearGarage i have installed the headlights. and it seems it needs a separate H4 relay harness, for the hig/low beam to work. any insight into that?
@@jean-christophepinchinat7979 yes I used one in this video: ua-cam.com/video/-V9lLASMNxI/v-deo.htmlsi=z_8reII6_c8ssFmd there is a link in the description
Is that outer glass or plastic? Thks. Jc
It is plastic.
@@6thGearGarage Thks..jc
What brand are these? And, are you still happy with them.
They're a Chinese brand amzn.to/3qGwEum I ended up giving then away to one of my subscribers because I had another set.
How do we attach the resistor mod
the resistor just goes inline for the wire to the LED
But...I'm not losing my original front bumper. I still got it. And I want the turn signals in it to work. So this video is really only relevant for people who have an after-market bumper and want that built-in turn signal.
I got these for free by showing how to install them, and gave them away in another video. I already have a set without the built in turn signal, which are perfect for people like us who like the stock bumper: ua-cam.com/video/-V9lLASMNxI/v-deo.html
@@6thGearGarage The earlier headlight replacement video you did was excellent, and the links in it let me buy with confidence what had previously been a crapshoot
Get an LED blinker relay
Do the blinker on the bumper font work at all? You tied into it just so the headlight will have the blinker and not the blinker on the bumper working. Ahhh what a disappointment
I could have spliced it in but didn’t want to cut factory wiring since I was going to give these lights away to a subscriber. They’re ideal for aftermarket bumpers without any blinker lights built in.
My driver said isn’t working any ideas grounded it then cleaned it like you said. Still didn’t work…
Have you tried swapping the lights and see if the light itself is bad when you put it on the passenger side?
yes, I swapped them and cleaned the ground on the side not working a little more and it worked thank you!!@@6thGearGarage
Couldn't you hook the DRL to your park lights so u also have that function.
Yeah I could have done that, but I ended up using these lights for a channel giveaway contest since I didn't need them.
@@6thGearGarage I just purchased a pair of these and put them in a 1990 Chevy Cheyenne and will be uploading a video of the install. If you don't mind go over and check the video once I upload it at the end of the day. Appreciate the support in advance💯💪🏽

can I fit a Sony ax200 double din In my 88 single cad
I've seen double DIN radios in these trucks. I believe that you will need to trim a little around the trim of the radio opening.
@@6thGearGarage awe dang I was hoping not to do it bc it's so original it's a 88 1558019 miles ik the second owner they bought it brand new at 3 miles no frame rust or nothing bought it for 800 bucks
@@6thGearGarage we own a body ship in Mississippi so lmk of you need anything 😂 long drive tho I'd imagine
auto correct hates me
@@b-dawg3518 Yeah I would hate to hack up an original trim, they're getting expensive on the used market.
I bought a set off of eBay, anybody have any issues with these not fitting inside the stock buckets? Mine still stick out quite a ways without me trimming the housing for them to fit. The backs are more square instead of the more cone shape of the factory ones.
Did you buy the set that was linked in the description or a different style?
@@6thGearGarage no it was different, I started to look around to see if anybody else had the problem when I stumbled on this video. I’ll probably just 3d print a spacer to go in it with longer screws and order another set for my old ford.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume they'll work the same for us Nissan jockeys.
Yeah I assume so, I don't know if you'll need the additional H4 harness though - I think that might just be a Toyota thing.
Why would my turn signal blink fast
It happens due to incorrect resistance when using modern led bulbs in vehicles that had incandescent bulbs with a filament.
