Need Help with LED Fang Lights

I was gifted the non Aiden James fang lights from 4runnerlifestyle. They don’t come with instructions and I can’t seem to find a video for installation either. I installed myself and the blinker aspect works but the regular LED lights don’t turn on at startup or when DRL are on. Am I missing something? Does anyone have experience installing these? I searched the sub but can’t find anything. Thanks for any help.

 

I got those as well for X-mas! And have exact same issue. Only thing I could find is on their website at the bottom of the description area. Says..

Red- Run this to positive (Run to the INJ fuse position to get it to turn on when the car turns on)
White- Back up positive wire (We do not recommend this but you can choose to run this one and it will keep the lights on all the time)
Black- Run to ground
Yellow- Runs to the turn signal to allow it to change when the turn signal is on.

Nothing about how to take off front end or grill, etc. I've removed my front end previously to install light bar, so I'm pretty sure I'll be able to figure it out.

There is this from some guy in the review section..."I had to search for a while on a wiring diagram". (wish he had included the link). I can't find anything.

I reached out to 4RLifestyle and their response was..."We do not yet have a video for those!" Nice.

Good luck.

 

I finally figured it out! The add-a-fuse needed a second fuse inserted. Let me know if you need any help.

 

The ones in my profile pic?

 

I've been struggling with mine as well! They turn on but I am unsure as to how or what I am supposed to tie the yellow wires into? Do I need to tap into the yellow wire on my turn signal so they turn on when my blinker goes on? I've searched and found the same articles you have but I am still struggling to get this last part connected!

 

Yes! Tie them into your blinkers. Tie into your yellow blinker wire on the driver side and the light blue blinker wire on the passenger side.

 

Perfect I'll do this today thank you so much!

 

Installed these yesterday but having some issues with my fog lights now! I have raptor lights and t-tapped my fang lights into those in the INJ slot, both are working but now my fog lights aren't. Even when I unplug the fang lights, fogs still do not work. I checked the fuses, all are good. Any ideas? I didn't think the INJ fuse slot had anything to do with the fogs, since they fogs have a separate fuse slot in the cabin.

 

Yea, I have the issue of the left blinkers activating the right fang lights and the right blinker is activating the left fang lights.
Any one have any advice on this?

 

Having the same problem - the fangs light up but are not sequencing with the turn signal. 4Runner Lifestyle hasn’t responded to my inquiry. Wondering if anyone has tried upping the amperage? Or putting the blue wires together and the yellow wires together versus the opposite? Would love to have advice before I tear my grille apart again

 

Hey all
So I've successfully installed sequential fangs from 4RunnerLifestyle. No manual really included, like many aftermarket parts it's limited info, and Google and YouTube are the manual lol

1. @WhiteRhino4R I didn't have the issue regarding opposite side blinking, that's odd - because I'm assuming you tied each fang into the colored wires on each side so how are they operating opposite I wonder

2. @Missbang upping the amperage? I didn't do that I don't think
Or putting the blue wires together and the yellow wires together versus the opposite? Also, didn't do that and both may or may not be a bad idea. I believe I heard LED's can draw as much current as you afford them, which can blow em.

I went off of these instructions, and here's photographs of some fog wiring and engine bay grounding.

 

Hello all- I'm installing fang lights today as well and have run into a different issue. I recently installed Alpharex Luxx headlights, and have that fuse tap in the INJ spot. Does anyone have a suggestion for a secondary fuse location for the fang lights (since I already have a fuse tap in the INJ location)?

 

I connected the white wire to my puddle light. It (fang white lights) comes on when I approach the vehicle and when I unlock the doors. Connected the red wire (with inline fuse) to the ignition so when I start the vehicle, it comes on and acts like the DRL lights (do not connect directly to DRL system, light will stay on). Yellow wire to each of the turn signal lights (left and right). Black wire to the ground (not the battery on something metal).

 

^this is good info!
not exactly what I tapped into

but here's good fuse slots to use

@djwantke So you tapped into the cabin fuse box, rather than the engine, for the fangs?

 

So yes, I tapped into the cabin box because originally when tapping into engine bay fusebox INJ it tripped my ECU and for whatever reason the truck din like it.
But that was one of my first "automotive electrical" mods, so now after becoming much more educated and experienced, I believe I made a mistake(s) when drawing from engine bay fuse. There is multiple fuse slots there that should be fine.

As for your 2015, and my 2016, the lid cover/fuse slot layout may be different from this photo. I couldn't open my hood last night quickly to snap a photo

 

Try INJ or INJ No. 3 (I probably messed up on the fuse and add-a-fuse orientation)@jmofunk

 

I just found this yesterday during a deep 4R. com website Search. Where has this been my whole life lol

 

Here is the Alden James video showing install



and link to their lights,
I think Im gonna get these
