2000 flasher relay location? - LS430 RETRO

anyone know where the flasher relay is on a 2000 and how to get to it? I tried to look near the driverside fuse block and couldn't find it.


by the way, this is what I've been working on:

I'm finally starting on this after years of searching for a housing and trying to figure out what I wanted to do. I finally found that the headlights from the 2007 land cruiser will fit on the earlier ones with a new grill and valence panel. I figured this was the easiest housing to retro because the high and low beams were in seperate reflectors, instead of the pre-07 where the bulbs are above each other in the same reflector. So, after ordering those parts, I've finally started!!

obviously I'm going to be using ls430's. I've opted to do a tsx clear lense swap. I'm using one spacer, which gives the cutoff a little more plue/purple, and makes it extremely noticably sharper.

For the led's I'm using 52 amber superflux leds at about 60mA's for marker/turns. I'm going to drive the led's with an opti-drive pwm. Led boards are covered with aluminum tape, which was a HUGE pain to cut out the led locations. They'll be potted before I put them in the headlight. There are 20 led's in 2 colums pointing forward, and 32 pointing outward.

I will also probably be retroing in some tsx projectors as fog lights as well, but I'll do that after the headlights are done.

This picture is with the led's at full brightness, so parking lights would be dimmer, but you get the idea...

omfg, that is awesome! Great work, I love the beam pattern on our LS430. I think I need to go visit my grandfather and bring my headlights with me, clean work...excellent job.
 
that looks amazing , lots of work for sure and professional resullt.
my 2005 interior is now completely LED converted (including red 1 watt LED's for spots)and front parking lights coming wednesday,
i would love to swap my headlights for 07's........
anyway i would love to get details on the front valance that is needed for the mounting of the 07 lights , any welding involved or is it bolt on , also what is the part # for this valance , finally any fender trimming at all?
thanks , Erick.
 
There is fender trimming involved and you need to drill out 2 rivets on each fender near the headlight. I also had to trim the bumper mount to make the 98-02 bumper fit, but the 03-07 has the same bumper cover, so you wouldn't need to do that. I'll try and get the part numbers for the smaller parts tonight or something when I can find the invoices. The kit I ordered was suppose to be bolt on, but they left out 3 pieces and also didn't mention that any other trimming besides the fender was required...
 
no one has a haynes manual to look up the flasher location??

I have a HD flasher to install ASAP. From the FSM, which provides limited info on the location, the location appears to be somewhere near the steering column under the dash area.

Thats where I've been trying to look, but I guess I'll have to remove the dash cover to get a better look and to get to it...

When you say all, do you mean the map lights and door lights? Also, where did you get the lights?
 
yes , www.superbrightleds.com

i have the wedge door lights (1 watt) x4
the license plate lights (wedge) x2
the center dome spots (festoon LED in red) x2
the front spots wedge red x2
the front parking lights wedge 360 deg angle (1 watt) x2

everything in "cool white" 6000K to mimic the dome LED from george (taskled)

if more info is needed i can give the bulbs ref# from that site.

since we're talking about leds...my dome light for the middle row and cargo area is 3 luxeon rebel at 700mA which puts out about 300 lumens if I remember correctly...spot lights are at 300mA's
 
i guess georges's domes (rebels)are 350 ma and 70 lumens 1 led per device, plenty of light for the task,
the wedges 194/168 type that i use in the doors are the 1 watt led 70 lumens (70ma) huge amount of light compared to the factory ones.
the wedges that i use for the license plate have 5 small led's for a 360deg pattern .....i don't need that much light for the license plate!. i have been thinking for a long time now at mounting the rear LED tails from the 06/07 but the thing that bothers me are the red turn signal , i want orange.....like the european model or japanese (or rest of the world)

so no one knows??? Parts guy said that it was behind the gage cluster, but nothing there. I took apart everything near the fuse block at the drivers foot apart and I didn't see anything there either....
 
A_P: What bezel are you using around the ls430 projector? I've got all the stuff to do this on my 4runner, now it looks like I might switch and do it to the :princess:'s 06 hundy....

:idea:

just the ls430 shroud. Its pretty much the only shroud you can use on the ls430 because it has the lower projector opening. It just takes some minor trimming and is really easy to fit especially for any round reflector housing.
 
Bumping this thread because I also need to find this evasive flasher relay on my 2000. Any info??
 
Having intermittent flashing lights. Is this it? Does anybody know what the part number is for this?
