    HOW TO : LX470 Bi-LED projector retrofit Morimoto MLED 2.0

    I was speaking to Brandon from Lightwerkz, where I picked up some retrofit supplies, and he mentioned that a fix could have been to make a harness to power both lights off of one headlight plug. My weird issue was that when I parked and had the e brake on they, both lights worked correctly...

    HOW TO : LX470 Bi-LED projector retrofit Morimoto MLED 2.0

    Just a follow up to my earlier post. This thread was huge in getting me off my ass to actually finish the retrofit. Got it installed and working last year and they’ve been perfect since. (Had to disable drl in tech stream but that might be a Canadian only problem?)

    Another "name this part"

    Bringing this thread WAYYY back from the dead. I have the same box and was curious if you ever did anything with it? Am I right in assuming I could basically just cut the wire without any issues? I mean, the vehicle is from '06 and I have a GROM Vline.

    Method to move power window up when switch isn't working?

    UPDATE: I went back to the shop as the owner insisted he should check that the 2 plugs for the door harness were clipped in correctly. As he was yanking the wires out in front of me I knew there HAD to be a broken wire. In my opinion no wires should be pulled as hard as he did - but that's...

    Method to move power window up when switch isn't working?

    Confusing update: - I removed the DS rear door and checked for for broken wires. Didn't see anything broken on the both sides of the 2 plugs. - I swapped the rear window switches and there was no change. I think that proves that the switch itself isn't the problem. - Finally I DID notice a...

    Method to move power window up when switch isn't working?

    Thanks a ton! Just to clarify, pull the power window switch panel in the back door and unplug the plug. Then run a wire from the battery positive to the power wire in the plug itself? Then run another wire from the negative on the plug to clean metal for ground. Should the truck be on acc or...

    Method to move power window up when switch isn't working?

    Hey, I recently had some bodywork done on my LX to clean and repaint under the plastic door sill trim. The shop had both back doors off to do the work. When I got the truck back I tested all the windows. Everything worked on the first drive. I had the windows all down fully. I parked the truck...

    CarPlay and Android Auto installation into Toyota Land Cruiser 2004-2007 GROM VLine

    I've had my Vline VL2 for almost 2 years now. It's far any away my favourite (and sometimes most irritating) interior mod. I've found that when there are issues, unpairing everything, performing a reset, then running updates has always fixed things. It is annoying, but wireless carplay that...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    In spring I'll be doing this exact job, with heater T's on top. Are the spark plugs all easily accessible?

    Another transmission thread - 2006 LX470

    Similar in the slow engagement to drive and the lack of acceleration? Glad to hear it worked out! I will definitely be doing this maintenance in the future Thanks for the tip. I’ll take a look at the procedure for the solenoids as a precaution though I’ve never done transmission work before.

    Another transmission thread - 2006 LX470

    Over the past year or so my 2006 LX470 (192,000 miles with unknown transmission service history) has been slow to go from reverse to drive. This would only happen when cold and i would guess happened once every couple of weeks. Fast forward to last night I was driving home, truck is super cold...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Wash and wax before winter. A couple months ago I bought a new OEM fender to replace the previous one that had a snorkel hole in it. Also earlier this year I retrofitted some morimoto mled 2.0 into the stock headlights. This week I aimed them down a touch.

    Power Windows Randomly Shut off

    I've had a handful of annoying quirks on my LX470 since owning it. One of which is the driver-side window panel. I've found that at least 3 times I have "messed" with wiring, it has stopped working until I turn the vehicle off and on again. - Removing the shifter surround and unplugging...
