Nice looking rig and well explained instructional. My question is, the larger clear housing that had to ve installed to fit the light, did that come with the switchback ked kit or did you have to purchase that separately? If the latter, can you provide a link? Thanks in advance.
@@jimmydrive No problem! If you have a 99-02 4Runner they’ll be the same ones I used (since I have a 4Runner front end) but for 01-04 Tacoma’s, you’ll need the sockets off the 05-15 Tacoma turn signal lights.
I am doing mine now ,what about running the front power turn signal wire to the front corner light and in stall a 3wire socket and a dual element bulb/led then you would have parking lights and turn signals up top would this work
Formidable 4Runner on Instagram used to sell them. I took mines off cause I sold the truck so they’re for sale if you’re interested. You can either DM me on Instagram or shoot me an email. fortunestatushi@gmail.com
Yeah it is. Your front signals need to be amber. But I’ve ran whites for my truck for couple years no problem. I just have to change it back to amber for safety checks.
"function", properly? That "plastic thing" is there for a reason. And, you cannot use a turn signal housing as a fog light, NO WAY! Looking cool is OK if done right. Blinding people with glare and possibly killing them and yourself is not. So, show the lights on the road with just your so-called fog lights. Then, put that back together, stock. Yeah, "so here's how it looks"... like crap! And, no, that is not subjective, that is a fact.
@@fortunestatushawaii I did not _just_ say you cannot, I elaborated. ... "Works good!" ... "😂" is right! I and others know better. The proof is in your video. The hot spot and glare are at/above the top of the garage door trim. That is ridiculous! You have been fortunate, but if you eventually kill someone or a family, maybe you will finally get into your brain... _there is no way a turn signal housing can properly function as a fog light, more so with your so-called mod!_ All you had to do was get some switchbacks, the ones that have a white light on even when the amber turn signal is on, and those would look much better, IMO. You could get switchback fogs to match. Depending on bulb type, you can even get switchback mains. Since you refuse to see facts, to be blunt, that is one of the most ridiculous so-called mods ever. "👌🏼" Besides the fact LEDs are illegal in every single state, this is one of the reasons states are passing laws and cracking down on their use. And, this is why light mods should be done, so to speak, properly. It is people like you that do ridiculous things and make it worse for everyone else. In this case, first and foremost, blinding everyone on the road. Please, don't be one of those people.
I got the same mirrors but I switch them too blue And tbh I’ve had Auxbeam 🔥 but I when with a different brand and is more expensive but worth the money 💯
Brah, I wish you're in Vegas, or my neighbor, I would pretty much wanted to learn how what you're doing to your truck..I always watch your videos, even the old ones
The one for my 4Runner signals is different from you guys one. Try ordering the 05-15 tacoma signal sockets and pigtail connectors for yours. Should work, they have 3 wires.
Does this conversion have any adverse effect on trailer adapter for 4 pin trailer harness? I love some of these light conversions I've seen but I do trailer a small boat and always worry about any of these projects causing issues with the trailer lights.
@@chaserivera6893 formidable4runner used to sell them before but they’re discontinued. I sold my truck but took the mirrors off cause they’re rare and hard to find but if you’re interested shoot me an email I’d be willing to sell them if the price is right.
for some reason when i turn on my left blinker the drls shuft off only on the bottom left blinkker and to turn it back on I gotta switch the lights all the way off and back on, you think its just the bulbs?
Sick. I installed switchbacks too for my side mirror blinker for my 3rd gen. But I got a problem with the blinkers hyper flashing. Could be I need the relay. Gotta fix that lol.
Nice! So you got your side mirrors emitting white light with your parking lights and it switches to amber with signal? That’s dope. Yeah definitely try changing the relay lol!
They're the "JDM" side mirrors. Unfortunately they're discontinued and you'd have to order them from this dude on instagram but you can try hit em up to see if he still has any. ua-cam.com/video/zn83jELI04U/v-deo.htmlsi=YsaDHYU19S6cM3bc
Awesome video! But… I have a problem did this on my 96 and my fuse keeps blowing for this circuit also I didn’t do the relay inside you think that would help ?
I don’t think not changing the relay would cause the fuse to blow. Usually fuse blowing means there’s a short circuit somewhere. I would double check your splices and make sure you didn’t accidentally splice a positive and negative wire together or make sure no positive or negative wires are touching anywhere. Hope you figure it out 🙏🏼
Followed all the steps for the fogs and parking light and my truck wouldn’t start 😂now my running lights don’t come on or the dash 😂 someone help me out
Damn, have you double checked all your splices and make sure everything is connected properly. Sorry man, I'm not too sure about running lights as mine never worked since I got the truck.
Auxbeams wasn’t worth all this time.. I had 3sets before I ended up going with a different company because they would go out or the tips would come apart
Damn sorry to hear about your bad experience. I’ve had these on for about a month and they’ve been holding up well so far. I’ll see how they do in the long run. Hope your current LED’s are doing good for you now though 🤙🏼
Connections are pretty much the same bro. Just might need different bulb type / bulb sockets for the front signals, but as far as wiring it’s the same concept 👍🏼
The video is awesome. Would you like to try our Boslla 6500k led high low beam headlight bulb? We wanna send it for you to try. I have contacted you by email. Hope to work with you, thanks.
Yes should work, just need to get the proper dual filament bulb size for the 2003 Tacoma turn signal sockets. I believe they differ from the 4runner turn signal sockets.
Haha it definitely is satisfying! I used to never really care about it matching colors but now that the fogs and the corners match, I’m having the urge to match the headlights as well 😂
Shoot my bad for the late reply bro. These are for the 99-02 4Runner signal lights. You’d have to find out the bulb size for the 01-04 Tacoma signal lights and but the switchbacks specifically for it. The wiring and everything else is pretty much the same concept. So you would just need the switch back bulbs and bulb sockets for 04 Tacoma signals.
Haha thanks man! Coming soon! I’m almost due or pretty much due for a timing belt change so I wanna tackle that first before I start doing any motor work. But hopefully start ordering horsepower parts soon. That’s my plan for this year 👍🏼
I ended up doin dis mod today an everting came out like how u did it in ur video much mahalos again for da mod cant wait to see wats da next mod i can do
I'm having trouble finding the parking light wire to power the white light on the Led Switchback Bulb. Is it possible to use a spare fuse in my cars fuse box to potentially get power to the white light on the bulb?
It should be one of the wires that come out of the parking light bulb socket. This would be the easiest way. It is possible to use a spare fuse as long as it has power and depending if it’s a switched power with either ignition/acc or some sort of lights or if it’s constant you may have to wire in your own switch.
@@fortunestatushawaii thank you brother, appreciate the reply, my parking light is weird lol I literally can't find the wires, I might have to remove my bumper
HPD needs relays cus their LEDs blinkin waaay to faaas fo me too lol.. as always, killah vids braddah🤙
Haha foreal 😂 Thanks brotha! I appreciate it 🤙🏼
I recommend making the parking light housing have a turn signal with the three wire bulb socket as well. I think it would look good
Nice! I hear what you’re saying. I’ll probably switch it around later in the future lol.
Nice looking rig and well explained instructional.
My question is, the larger clear housing that had to ve installed to fit the light, did that come with the switchback ked kit or did you have to purchase that separately? If the latter, can you provide a link?
Thanks in advance.
It’s just a regular housing for turn signal bulbs. Just need to change the bulb socket.
@fortunestatushawaii Oh okay. Thanks for the reply.

I like that signal/Fogg set up. Where do you get the casement for them?
You can get them on ebay, they're just clear light housings without the orange plastic cover over where the bulb sits.
Wish u showed how u tapped into the running lights
where u buy the side mirrors ??
Formidable 4Runner on Instagram used to sell them. I took mines off cause I sold the truck so they’re for sale if you’re interested. You can either DM me on Instagram or shoot me an email. fortunestatushi@gmail.com
I don’t know why they make the amber led so bright ?
What bro you know if its legal to have green corner lights in hawaii?
Can you link me to your headlights and tail light housings
How much would you sell the truck for?
Is it illegal to have white turn signals?

And what wire do you run to the red wire on the blinker
just did mine but didnt have any heat gun so i boil some water and dipped it for 3 mins and voila 🎉❤❤
Kinda bummed, ordered the same sockets you used but they no fit in my 01 taco, it’s a smaller diameter than the factory ones
The one for my 4Runner signals is different from you guys one. Try ordering the 05-15 tacoma signal sockets and pigtail connectors for yours. Should work, they have 3 wires.
I did this on my 03 taco but my led bulb keeps melting inside the socket any ideas why ? I have the led flasher relay installed nice rig bro
Is there any moisture inside? What type/brand bulbs are you using?
3157 bulbs Auxbeam like that ones you install . no moisture inside
🔥🔥 vid, one of the first things I did to my truck! Clean look🤙🏽🔥
Thanks fam! 🙏🏼🤙🏼 I agree, gives it a more modern look. They shoulda came with fogs from the factory.
