2024 light headlight fog light and high beam lights

[4runneroffroad2020]

Two things in regards to US and Canadian specs... Im not sure if people are aware of this but in Canada we get premium specs by default... In canada the non "premium sr5/ off road" isnt available, unlike the US. specs. Also when it comes to climate controls i noticed the CDN specs are different than the US specs.

The U.S. versions tend to have the triple knobs, whereas in canada we have two knobs and buttons to control the directional airflows. I believe that the 2 knob button w/ directional airflow buttons are only available on US LIMITED editions. Don't quote me on that... I bring this up because they might be using the same concept for wiring of the headlights for Canada / us specs...? :-/

Anyways based on that, do you think i should take a risk and spend the money on getting the Aux beam LEDS and see if they'll work? I need to take pics but basically the inner Halogen bulbs that act as DRLs do become high beams! If it's still PWM+ it will make it easier for me to transition to LEDs again!

That is what i'm referring to. from what ive seen the premium offroad in the us does not offer that climate control, offered only in the limited edition. But in canada all the TRDOR comes with that "limited edition" both my 2020, and 2024s had that. I'm just bringing this up just referring to above where it was mentioned that canadian and us versions versions might not have differences with wiring/ options...etc

Worth giving it a shot. I’m partial to VLED’s products, but either way I’m betting they’ll work if PWM compatible.

LOL ill give it a shot....


also why is toyota making different versions for us/ canada

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L33hTLn0JT0 the interior wiring etc..
@ 4 min mark for instance you can see the climate select knob... That's the US spec

@ 2:50 mark that's the Canadian spec ... different controls...

same concept for the headlights perhaps?

You guys have had the heated steering wheel longer than us down south. The auto climate controls are only on TRD Pro & Limited models in the USA. No idea why manufacturers do as they do, but you are lucky.

Your new one will have LED low & high beams standard, along with LED fogs.

The DRL on the 22+ remains the ugly halogen, whereas the high beam is part of the projector where the low beam is.

If your fogs are real high quality aftermarket units like Baja/Diode Dynamics/Morimoto then I’d keep them and use on the 2024 as they stock ones are just ok.

You could keep your LED high beam bulbs since they are simple to remove. On my 2022 I switched off the DRL function, then removed the halogen DRL bulbs (which remain in the same position as your 2020). I installed 9005 LED bulbs and wired them to my switch panel as auxiliary high beams. They work great. (see my build thread for details).

This is great info are they bright enough to use as High beams?

this is correct, you have the climate control system like the
limited in Canada.

also why is toyota making different versions for us/ canada

Because the laws are different. Two examples:
1. Canada requires the DRL to be on all the time the engine is running. You can't turn them off. In the USA, there is a DRL off switch on the stalk.

2. Canada requires metric and english units displays, and also French language nomenclature. USA does not.

It’s strange that Toyota would make the inside halogen lights DRL only, while making the Canada models DRL/High Beams. The inner lamp halogen DRL/High Beam was the 2021 models here.

If that is in fact the case, the VLEDs product is designed for that. It’s specifically designed to work as an anti-flicker DRL in DRL mode, while also giving a substantial LED high beam.

Here’s the link I’m referring to:

14-21 TOYOTA 4RUNNER V50 DRL/HIGH BEAM KIT

DUDEE!!!

You're a FRIGGIN Genius!!!!

It worked i ordered the lights last week, i got them today, and installed them!!
and guess what????????

They WORK!!! no need for that special wire that was suggested on that Youtube channel. So 22+ FOR Canadian models don't need it. Still use PWM+ woooooooooooooo

Thanks for the help!!:hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug: I dont know where the beer one so i guess you're getting hugs!! XD
Case closed!!!

I took pics.... now to figure out how to upload them since tinyurl is gone!

Because of that, The old PWM+ LEDs work!

I’m glad it worked. Not quite a genius, but I’m pretty adept at lighting issues. The owner of VLED’s is a long time Toyota guy, so when they announced that specific kit I knew it was great stuff.

If you really want some fun, have a look at my build thread and how I did the additional backup lamps. Used VLED’s products to have bright led rear turn signals, eliminate the “egg yolk” look of amber bulbs in clear lens housings, AND double the rear turn signals as additional backup lamps. Completely plug & play with no cutting or modifications. My own idea, but their products are so well designed it happened easily.

Enjoy the new upgrade!

Lol i have and will always be more comfortable working with actual parts engine parts etc than wires and lighting but if it's simple enough i dont mind trying things out ..
Splicing etc is not my cup of tea!��

But yes i bouhht the same aux 9005 s and it worked
... i was thinking to do it but then when you said you were pretty sure they didnt change it,that very night i ordered them.
Wil check out your build for sure!

Thank you again.
