hello everyone. I finally decided to change the turn signal housing into Switch Back turn signal. This was possible with the video from Fortune Status. thanks guys for the inspiration.

Excellent video! Awesome work. I love the 3rd Gen 4Runner. Question: I noticed when you tested the blinker, the top blinkers didn’t work, the ones you spliced into with the Red wire. Is that normal? Thanks again for your contribution.

@@infiniteprojects808 If I understand the original question correctly, and the 3rd gen runners perform the same as the 99-04 Taco's, that "top blinker" is actually just a parking light and doesn't act as a turn signal. So your wiring should be spot on if that is the case.

What type of film did you use for the headlights? To give them more of an aggresive look. Did you buy the film like that already or it was a DIY?

your going to laugh when I tell you. these headlights are not designed to HID or good LEDs. so when I put the LED in. the light was shinning in other cars. I angled it down as much as it would go but that was not enough. so grabbed some painters tape and my plasti dip can. this is what I ended up with. and you can peal it off at any time. hope this helps your project also. 🤙
I plan on doing this mod this weekend. Was hoping that the 194 corner lights could also be switchback. I have white bulbs in the corners now and would be nice if I could get them to flash yellow with the signals.

@infinteprojects808 I did this mod on my 1997 SR5 4runner, and I have switched out all of the exterior lights with led bulbs, when I went to turn on my day time running lights it caused the tail light (10 AMP) fuse to blow. I had to put in a larger fuse to get this work. I don't know if there should be a different solution i should consider. Anyone else experience this? Is there a better solution?
@infiniteprojects808
3 ай бұрын
Adding a larger fuse might be dangerous as now there is more voltage flowing. I would look into why its blowing. Maybe a grounding issue or you might need a relay or use “tail as turn” system.

I would use a volt meter and see what the is used for. It could be a running late, an ignition, parking light, or turn signal, either way you can pick and choose once you isolate and find the power source.

my 98 Limited had yellow lights down front, and they only activate when the turn signa is on, not as driving lights. So, does anyone have any thought? I'd love to put these in, but it seems its a no-go. As you all know, the older 4Runners do not have great headlights, even though I added the really nice Sylvania ultra brights, they are still nowhere near as bright as a modern light. In fact, I can put on the high beams, and almost nobody will flash me, because its just not that bright. So I could really use these driving lights down under. Yes, I bought the Hella fog lights, in white or I could put the yellow shield on it. They are not wired yet, but will be soon. So, I guess I'm open to re-wiring these driving lights to bright white, that way the Hellas can remain a true (yellow) fog light. Feedback welcomed.

you could put a four pin relay in, and tap into the ignition fuse or any low power source to activate it. or just tap into the engine fuse box and grab power wire that turns on when the ignition is on.

I was wondering where the relay went!!! IT all seemed to work, even without it. So, I'm partway done, but I was testing the lights, the bulbs, and I heard a little "zing noise" so I'm not sure if during testing I fried it. I touched two wires (red and green?) to the battery, the yellow light came on, (good) touched the other wire (red and white) and it zinged. I smelled a bit of ozone, which I thought was not good, so I'm at a standstill. No need to do all the wiring if they are now bad, I did change over the light housings to a white one, all new, and I have all the connections and the relay. Is there a SAFE way to check these bulbs??? The good news is, the fog lights work, and while it took longer, the rear lights work as well. But oddly, the light in the (OEM) button does not seem to light up. Which is disappointing. FYI: 1998 Limited, 315K, from Cali, so not a speck of rust! First thing I did (after a new timing belt, water pump and radiator) was to put in a new windshield! IT was pitted and had a chip, but the new glass really makes the car feel so much newer!! I highly recommend it, even if you think you don't "need" it.

A safe way to test would be with a voltage meter. Or even a 9V house battery would work.if you do use the car battery as a test source, i would use a 2.5 amp fuse. I rather blow fuses than parts.
