Ground it to the chassis then test the video feed (HDMI) on your unit before putting everything back together. On my Kenwood unit, it said the same thing. That wire was for my HDMI input. It makes it so the video will only show while in park. If that's really what you want, I don't recall...

Hey there. Take a look at my post (post number 35) on page 3 of this thread... That may help. I was really confused when I first started. You want to keep the harness from the stock system. Cut the plugs off and use wire connectors to attach them to the wires of your new stereo, using the table...

Yeah I liked the looks of them too. Although I must admit I had forgotten how much brighter the OEMs were until I put them back on.

It's worth a shot. Even though the headlights didn't work, I was very happy with DT MOTO's customer service. I was outside the warranty and they took them back with no questions asked. That being said, I had to pay about $75 in shipping to get them back to California.

I bought the DT Motoring black headlights about 2 months ago. Unfortunately, I had to return them. My refund actually just came through yesterday. After two months, one had pretty bad moisture inside and both had black plastic melting around the projector bulb. I just dropped the extra cash...

Every bulb involving soldering was done for me by another member of the forum, so I'm not sure. I'm sure Yosh is right - he's done the work for others.

Not sure. But all the other photos I've seen where emelianenkov has done the 12V mod, the lighting looks even. I think its just a one-off issue. He said he'd fix it and ship it back next-day. Hopefully soldering in a new Neo4HP bulb will fix the problem.

Finally got back in town and finished everything up. I love the new Head Unit. The improvement in sound (even with the factory speakers) is unbelievable. Looks sharp with the blue backlighting and the other white/blue LEDs I installed around the car to match. Also plasti-dipped the interior...

Ok I'm answering my own question in case anyone else runs into this issue. There are three primary drivers for this to happen. (1) Too much humidity, which also causes the paint to fog or haze up on you, (2) Not letting the previous coat dry or breathe long enough, or (3) It's too cold. After...

Yeah I can't take credit. The guy with the highly secret 12v mod did mine. You're right about the screen. Both sides are working but one is dimmer than the other. I'm sending it back to redo... all we can guess is maybe a bad resistor in the LED. I have a new one on order. For as much...

Update - took the vehicle for a drive and I think the headlights are plenty bright. Mine needed no adjusting like others reported (light profile measured 25ft from a vertical surface was fully aligned with the cutoff and side-to-side alignment as the factory lights). We'll see how they hold...

Hey all- I'm sure its been done before, but I've never seen pictures of an LED swap using white backlighting with white needles. So... I thought I'd post mine. I'm very happy with them. Also changed most of the warning lights in the dash with blue. Note, since the non-Limited 4Runners don't...

Installed these tonight. My PITA bolt was actually 10mm like the others. After reading this post before the install, I thought I found a golden nugget to save me some time... Instead I spent an hour feeling around with an 8mm socket! I went through the wheel well. I found it WAY easier to reach...
