So quick question

I bought these for my 2014 4 Runner Limited

194 CAN Bus LED Bulb - 5 SMD LED Wedge Base Tower | Wedge Bulbs | Specialty & Automotive | Universal LED Bulb Finder | Super Bright LEDs | Super Bright LEDs

I just received them and I was half way done with all the lights when I realized these were CAN bus led and not regular. The lights work fine but my only concern is these are the wrong leds and I don't want something to go haywire.

If someone could just let me know if I should take them out and get regular leds or to leave them in I would appreciate it.

Thanks guys,

I purchased some by mistake when I had my 2013 FJ, they won't have any effect on your truck, but may fail prematurely as mine did. When I called Superbright they informed me I had the wrong ones and sent me new ones when I returned the others.
Just get the same ones, not can-bus ones. => WLED-xHP5 194 LED Bulb - 5 SMD LED Wide Angle Wedge Base | Miniature Wedge Base LEDs | LED Car Bulbs | Super Bright LEDs | Super Bright LEDs

thanks [MENTION=103267]Saker[/MENTION],

but new questions I changed out all the lights and they look great however on the front passenger door light I am having issues. I pulled out the old bulb and stuck in a new led bulb and it lit up when I put it back in it went out. I felt that the socket the light was sitting in was kind of loose for the led so i used a screwdriver and kind ofpushed it down for a tighter fit. Well after I hooked it all back up now the led will fire up but very dim like its not getting enough power. I tried several different bulbs but nothing is helping. I wonder if the magnet end of the screwdriver caused a problem? Im not sure but now i feel I need to replace the plastic cover and the metal housing? Any suggestions would be great.

The magnet end of the screwdriver didn't hurt anything.
Sounds like your connection to any bulb is marginal at best. A dim bulb usually means the ground side of the connection is not making well enough.
Remove the assembly, disconnect the power connection to the assembly before using anything metal, and try to squeeze the connections so the make good contact.
Check your connection when you plug the assembly back into the power connection and give it a try.
 
thanks mean while I got my Morimoto HID and Fogs in they look amazing!

Did not have to take off the whole bumper to get them on.

It did not fit as flush as I would of liked but the gap is only noticeable from this angle not looking straight at it.

quick snap of the lights on

I will update you after I try to squeeze it hard enough for a better connection.

Cheers:hatsoff:
