    '99 headlight issue - Lowbeam and Highbeam together

    Well, I wired a pair of LED resistors across the lowbeam passenger side headlight plug, and it all works correctly now. I appreciate the help man.

    '99 headlight issue - Lowbeam and Highbeam together

    Ok. Picked up a pair of resistors. Do I need to run them in line between the lowbeam pin on the relay harness plug and the lowbeam relay, or between the lowbeam pin and chassis/ground?

    '99 headlight issue - Lowbeam and Highbeam together

    Could I just pull the highbeam indicator bulb to solve this issue then? My high beam indicator has not worked with either of these harnesses, and, again I did not have this issue with the first harness originally, it began to occur at some point and I noticed it a few months ago.

    '99 headlight issue - Lowbeam and Highbeam together

    Any help is appreciated, I am scratching my head for this. I built a headlight relay harness with cheap components to be able to trigger my LED driving lights with my highbeams. I didn't understand the negative switching aspect of the factory headlight harness when I built it, but it did...

    Transmission Musical Chairs - Q and A for those who have swapped Auto and 5spd's

    @ anniesball72 were you referring to Team_Jake's post? Do you have any CEL's or codes at all? You said you can also use a Tacoma ECU. That's good to hear, I've been searching car-part.com, alot of the postings state "'99 4wd m/t cali smog" and then come up as different model years or A/T...

    Transmission Musical Chairs - Q and A for those who have swapped Auto and 5spd's

    @ St Runner Thank you for the response. I will search for a '99 cali smog 4x4 mt ecu. In the meantime, I will risk the wiring harness headache. Do you happen to know if the harness is also required (again, snowballing from aged connectors), or can some pins be removed from the A/T harness...

    Transmission Musical Chairs - Q and A for those who have swapped Auto and 5spd's

    @ St Runner Is an ECU and harness swap completely necessary though? If the harness can be made to work without it, I would prefer not to have to swap. It's about trying to avoid the snowball effect of disconnecting 20 year old plastic connectors, if possible. And then I'm not sure if the...

    Transmission Musical Chairs - Q and A for those who have swapped Auto and 5spd's

    To simplify a long story: I have a '99 sr5 with an automatic. I purchased my parents "spare beater," which is a '98 sr5 5spd 4wd because the frame has rusted out from under it. IT's powder that crumbles in your hand. My sister has a '97 with a good frame and body/interior/engine, which ate...

    Latest headlight bulb recommendations?

    Phillips xtreme vision +100 are what I run. Best bulbs I have found. Any bulb with a tint will produce less total light. A blue tint will cut a serious amount of output, b3cause a typical halogen produces about 10-15% total light output in the Blue-Indigo-Violet range. I have the same bulbs...

    Is there a magic snow A/T tire out there?

    The Answer You Seek My dad ab-so-lutely *Loves* his Falken wildpeak at3w's. He has a 2010 tacoma, before that he had a 93 4runner. He never bought a second set of the same tires *Ever* until he bought a set of falken wildpeak at's. He put two sets back to back, probably 65-70k miles between...

    I hate my fog lights

    Well, first off are you looking for a legitimate fog-lamp, or are you trying to improve low-beam visibility, side vision, what is the goal? Most oem fog lamps produce too much upward light to be really useful. There are tons of other "fog-lamp" esque options out there, that dont necessarily...
