Dang lol, this is why I bought an ‘05 instead of ‘06/‘07… wanted the LRA tank more than the vvti

What sucks?

I’m a big fan of the Defenders. Great road tire and not too shabby off road too!

Well... the link you posted is... which is what I was referring to when I said what I said. Okay. Seems the question has been over the degree <pun intended> to which it raises temps, since it's common knowledge that pumping can cause heat. Just ask your wife how I know this. Okay.

...well I trust anyone reading this thread can see that I didn't say it was irrelevant. I also trust that anyone reading this thread is able to understand that my choice to heed @J1000 advice in mitigating fuel related problems has zero to do with the relevance of the link you posted. That...

My first thought was that it's a test of 1 pump vs 2 pumps... with E85 fuel... so its relevance to stock 100 series fuel system seemed diminished, as far as this thread is concerned. My second thought was that they chose not to run the test individually... ie run the test on one pump, then run...

Hate to be that guy, esp since I didn't read thru the whole thread, but at first glance this seems like a flawed test. Not saying it doesn't have any value to this thread but this seems like something that should be taken with a huge grain of salt.

Here's what Morimoto said... On Mon, Feb 12, 2024 at 8:40 AM Morimoto <morimotohid@morimotohid.com> wrote: FWIW, they are offering a refund for the bulbs and the anti-flicker module. I might just see if they'll take the anti-flicker module back since I don't really care much about the DRL...

So I guess I don't know whether that means I should or shouldn't expect the Morimoto's to work as both high beams and DRLs , lol, sorry I'm just incompetent when it comes to this stuff.

Like this?

I guess I don't really know. It's an '05 with extensive dealership maintenance history. I would imagine the owner would have had it done. Is it easy to see under the hood?

Well I just installed the Morimoto's... I also installed the anti flicker module... the high beams work, but it seems the DRLs do not turn on at all. Did you have to do anything special to make the DRLs work?

FWIW, I contacted Morimoto and here's what they said... From: Morimoto <morimotohid@morimotohid.com> Date: Thu, Feb 1, 2024 at 10:39 AM Subject: MorimotoHID Site Inquiry To: Good morning Nikoli, Thanks for reaching out to us! H3B bulbs will also be compatible with 9005/H10 bulbs. We just...

So I got the Hikari bulbs installed in the low beams. You were right... they are fantastic! I tried to install the Morimoto bulbs that I had bought for High Beam / DRL, but they didn't seem to fit right. So I took them to my favorite shop to see if they could install them for me, and they said...

To follow up, I got a key cut... which I needed to do anyway since I only had one key... but it did not work to turn the ignition. So I called for a tow truck to get the LX to my local yota shop. The driver got the LX all set to pull onto the bed. Got it in neutral. Then he started pulling it...
