Yeah once you cut your runningboard light connector, you use that male side and graft that onto the LED strip. If you put your runningboard back on later, which you wouldn't, you can just splice it back in.
What have you done to your 200 Series this week? (22 Viewers)

Speaking of the devil
This is sick! The 470 had the best running board lights IMO. They were weak sauce on the 570.
I hate to post this here, but does anyone who has replaced their factory skids lately want to sell their oil pan cover? My 13 came without one.
I posted a WTB last week, but crickets.

I’m curious, is it able to hold the phone well even off road?
Got the sliders on, install was very easy since I have a lift and 2 sets of helpers.

Yes, actually surprisingly well. I think the key is having a quality MagSafe compatible case.
I grease the drive shaft, ordered Toyota metal oil filter housing from Amazon around $31. Also ordered CRC Rust spray plan on spraying frame this weekend
Parked the minivan the other way around in the driveway and the front to rear difference in fender gap that has been bothering me magically went away! Got out the measuring tape and figured out my driver's front is about an inch low. Measures 19.5" center of hub to fender DS and 20-3/8" PS (both sides have the AHC arm lift). I'm going to have to read up as I know I've seen this problem elsewhere on the forum. And probably give in and learn how to techstream.
Common L.
Wouldn't be a cruiser without some cruiser lean 
On the plus side, I've heard you can disable the automatic steering wheel retract BS in techstream, so at least I'll have more than one use for the software

I've had my LC for about 2 months now. Here is what I've done so far (not all this week)...
Per usual, my first "mod" was installing a blendmount and mirror tap for the radar detector. The results are so clean. Blows my mind that people drive around with a cord running up their dash when this solution exists.
BH3D cupholder installed. Holy crap what an upgrade. Works great for the basic bitch Stanley cup my wife got me.
Changed the cabin air filter. By the looks of it the PO didn't do this very often (ever?). Replaced with the Bosch HEPA filter.
Rigged up this phone mount using a phone holder from my last car, a Ram mount double socket arm, and a knock off ram mount clamp from Amazon. I really like the phone placement as it doesn't block anything and doesn't sit up too high or too low. I'll probably bolt it to the side of the center console at some point to get it off the parking brake, but this is working well for the time being.
Swapped the PCV valve. For $6 and 5 minutes this is a no-brainer PM job.
And finally, changed transfer case fluid this past weekend. Went with Redline MT-LV. The oil that came out wasn't bad enough to concern me but it was definitely overdue for a change. Planned on knocking out the diffs as well but ran out of daylight so that job is on the list for next weekend.
Much more to come as my limited free time permits.

looks like you have a 16+, care to share the pinout colors for the ignition power and ground on the tap? i know it's easy to test but to save some of us a little bit of time
Blendmount/Mirrortap install on 200 Series for Valentine V1?
Ok. So I installed my blendmount and wiretap over the weekend to get my V1 mounted and powered. Ended up picking up ground and ignition power at the rear view mirror. Pin 1on the mirror is ground. Pin 4 in the mirror is ignition 12V. Attached the V1 Bluetooth dongle to the back of the mirror...

12.5 gal LRA tank installed and functioning. Thanks LRA and Micheal Goode and Goode's Off-Road. After purchasing a Carter pump I stuck with the packaged Facet Posi-Flow for now. Mounted on rubber vibration isolators so while you can hear it running inside the cabin, the sound is not annoying and lets you know its status.

Yup that's the thread I followed.

Can’t find any solutions in search but maybe I missed it. The front passenger and rear AC in my 2016 LC is not cold. Blows fine but it’s like the AC isn’t on in those zones. Drivers side blows cold air without issue. (Recirc flap is broken but don’t think that would cause this to happen?)
Does it have enough Freon, low freon could cause that, i'd hook up manifold gauges and start there. Visit any gas station they'll be able to hook it up and see the pressure.
there is a TSB for 16+ but I can't find the link
this is the TSB for 17+ https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10176693-9999.pdf
I had this fixed on my 18, but only the rear was not blowing cold and very low air speed
