Used this sight as guest, decided to join. Hello

Hi everyone.

I've used this site several times as my 2010 4Runner is starting to show some hiccups. All my questions have been answered through this forum and so I decided to join and hopefully assist other members.

My latest attempt to upgrade my vehicle was to install new LED lights for the both L/R front turning and daylight running lights. It was not successful. This morning, the lights were on and I am not sure when they went out but when I got home, the lights were out.

After researching for my solution, I decided to replace the LEDs for the old bulbs. And Voila, I have lights. I'll mark this down as a 50 dollar failure. Lesson learned.

Welcome to the forum, good to have you here.

 

Welcome...!
I think I read somewhere that if there were issues like this... to try reversing the polarity on the bulbs.

Welcome.

Some of the older Tacoma's (5 years+) were finicky with led upgrades. Strange thing was sometimes they worked and sometimes they didn't (you are a case in point). Lots of factors to consider (bulb type, brand, electrical probs, etc). By 2014 they were pretty much plug and play. Anyway, I'd imagine a 2010 t4r could behave similarly.

While LED's are mostly plug and play in more recent years, often (always?) a relay is necessary for lights that blink/flash.
