    Separate DRLs from turn signal lights

    Ah, sorry, forgot about this thread for a few days. I did try to upload my PDF copy of the wiring diagram but it's over the forum's file size limits. However, I did find this link to the same EWD (with a bonus mechanical guide haphazardly spliced onto the end of it too, hence 500 pages as...

    Separate DRLs from turn signal lights

    Regrettably, I've sold my T4R to a friend (who has also since run it into the ground by towing excessively), and moved overseas, then back, then there again, to Thailand, and I never did figure this out before then. As a side note, I've stayed in the Toyota family: I'm currently rocking arguably...

    Projector-y LED Fog lights?

    Those actually do look pretty similar now that I look closely at each, but I think the back side of the original 4th gen fog light housing is still fairly rectangular, but in a 4th refresh, the backside is decidedly more conical or circular. I don't think that'll work unfortunately :[ Right...

    Projector-y LED Fog lights?

    Hello! I saw this http://www.theretrofitsource.com/led-lighting/morimoto-xb-led-fog-lights-type-t.html and this http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/172771-direct-replacement-led-fog-light-assemblies-2014-other-5th-gens.html and found myself wondering, do us measly 4th gen-ers get any...

    5th gen mirrors on 4th gen? Or other puddle light configuration

    I just read through that whole thread; nice job. I have a few reservations in that I'm not particular about the glare off the car for the puddle lights, and I'm not particular either about the particularly reddish orange coming off those blinkers, but then maybe that's just your camera's...

    5th gen mirrors on 4th gen? Or other puddle light configuration

    Aha! I thought someone had done this before. This helps much, thanks!

    Separate DRLs from turn signal lights

    I had actually found that excellent writeup before, which put me in mind of the possibility in general of splitting these signals. The thought of doing it the way you did interests me, somewhat, but as I mentioned, I'm hoping for more of a grill lighting, kind of like this, but you know, on a...

    5th gen mirrors on 4th gen? Or other puddle light configuration

    I feel like this has been asked somewhere before but I can't find it after many searches.. I have a 4th gen 4r with standard power door mirrors, and I noticed the 5th gen has literally everything I could want on door mirrors, or at least certainly the Limited does. (Here's a link to some I...

    Separate DRLs from turn signal lights

    I have been poring over the electrical wiring diagram and trying to figure this one out, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to separate the signals for the DRL and the turn signal so that I can put different LED-style aftermarket DRL lights on and retain the factory turn signals...

    Brighter backup lights

    There's a couple issues I had. It wasn't brighter than my LEDs that I got from whitebeauty, the bulb's pins were like 0.5mm thick diameter, and the base that the 4r reverse bulbs go into is like 1.5-2mm thick, so they just sat in there, not gripped at all by the friction fit. I jammed the bulb...

    Lights stay on on unlock?

    Yeah, I was actually going to wire it so the main control relay draws off the dome relay for switch signal but it's "output", so to speak, is just connected to both sides of the fog relay, so the fog lights are still on the fog circuit. i was gonna also wire two others in parallel with that...

    Brighter backup lights

    Oh good. Might do that then. Any particular recommendations (i.e. ebay links)? I can always find others if not but just curious if you are a diehard fan of something particular. Thanks for the suggestion. I really wish more ebay links would put the actual lumen value somewhere where I don't...

    Brighter backup lights

    I've seen that getting external housings are the more popular option and I am considering it; my only hesitation is that I want to make them look integrated rather than slapped on. I might even get a 4th gen pre-refresh bumper cover so I can mount something in place of the reflectors like I've...

    Brighter backup lights

    I'm having difficulty, like many of us have I'm sure, seeing behind me when I back up. This wouldn't be much of an issue apart from the fact that I live in a neighborhood without streetlights. I've tried the 886 bulb mod to no avail, as well as getting some 11w LED bulbs from whitebeauty, but...

    Lights stay on on unlock?

    After doing some research with the electrical wiring diagram, I am going to make a mod for this, which briefly will involve tying another relay in parallel with the dome relay that will activate the fog lights, and the reverse lights. This is a similar function to how many newer GM cars and...
