Some lighting questions... (HID and LED)

I looked all over the place and couldn't find definitive answers for ALL lighting on our 5th Gen T4R's.

HID:
Does anyone know if the H11 harness included in the TRS packages will activate the HID's with the Auto feature on the Limited model?

Also does anyone go with the bi-Xenon option, or does everyone stick with a single beam output on the projectors?

LED
I just swapped out all my interior lights to LED while up in Big Bear this weekend (couldn't wait to come home). And I can't find the map lights.

I also would like a full list of exterior LED's, but it's hard because sites like superbrightleds.com and iJDMtoy.com have different parts for the same light fixtures.

Also, I' not sure if we need resistors in any of our bulbs to avoid throwing a code.

I want to get consistent light temps for every bulb, so it seems that superbrightleds.com has more of a selection but I just want answers that won't end up frying out my harnesses or the bulbs.

TIA fellas.

I'll throw this out first as a lot of this has been discussed:

HID: Yes the H11 harness will turn on the HIDs in auto or manual mode.
Bi-xenon is a personal preference. I believe I have seen it both ways here. My setup has bi-xenon in the lows and when the highs are turned on the shroud on the HIDs kicks up and the halogen highs also turn on.

LED: Not sure what you mean by can't find the map lights. The one you purchased as a replacement or the location on the 4Runner? The map lights are above the center console. Sounds like you already replaced them though if you got all the interior lights.

This post has a full list of the exterior bulbs. Take the bulb numbers and go to the vendor of your choice and search for their equivalent bulb.

This post speaks to the issues of LEDs in the turn signals.

^^ pretty much answered all your questions spot on, just one thing, I didn't need to add any resistors to any of the interior LEDs to keep it from throwing a code. I don't think our vehicles are that smart to detect it :)

Search search search, and welcome to the forum!

I didn't mean the interior lights, just the turn signals. My R1 went to a super quick blink when I went all LED turn signals because the ECU detects one of the bulbs is out. On my bike I like the fast blink, not on my T4R though. Thanks for the welcome!

The turn signals will do the super fast blink if you don't have the proper resistors...
