Not the solution many of you will like but I did it with an SPOD BantamX.
Everything works exactly as OEM. If I want my fogs to stay on with high beams I simply turn them on via the touch screen. My lightbar also turns on and off with my high beams.
Nope. My sales guy didn't even know about the video. I didn't care if the Lasfit mats were left in there or not. I got the OEM toyota rubber ones which I like the best and Lasfit keeps trying to send me mats that I don't want anyways.
For anyone who has been paying for a combined plan and "downgrading" to the remote connect only here is my experience. I added the remote connect only plan for $8 hoping to just cancel my drive connected plan. It wouldn't let me, was like there was a button missing. The next day it automatically...
Random story time. Early last year I was still waiting for my 6th gen to arrive. A localish Toyota themed youtuber put out a video on a certain rig that just came in on trade at my local dealership. That video came across my feed so I clicked on it. As they were driving through the lot they...
I think it should be a rule here that if you are posting about Lasfit products you have to disclose that they gave them to you for free, or discounted in exchange for posting about them.
Source - I have been given their product for similar reasons in the past. Some of it is pretty good. They...
I followed along your journey as well as everyone else who tried to make an aftermarket lightbar work the way I wanted. Ultimately I used my SPOD BantamX to control the BD bar and an XBB module to trigger on with my high beams. I have a normal OEM style lightbar switch in between the XBB module...
For what it is worth I used the Westcott Designs mount for my fogs. In my opinion it is a much cleaner finished off look and takes away any guesswork on mounting/aiming.
Search around for folks who have done the entire grill swap on non Pro/TH models. You may find more info. I don't see many Pro/TH folks swapping out the OEM setup.
I can tell you in my experience you'll need a bracket to mount whatever bar you choose to upgrade too and you'll need to wire it...
1) I feel like calling this a DIY mod is about the same as calling it a DIY car wash or a DIY fuel tank replenish. It is just bolting on someone else's work.
2) This can't be done without removing the bumper first to remove the valance. You could possibly leave the 3 screws out of the valance...
The 5th gen hood did the same but no one seemed to care as much as the 6th gen folks. When the Tacoma guys started complaining about it I noticed it on my 5th gen. Took me 5 or 6 years to notice but it was there. I pointed it out to several others who never noticed prior either.
You're about to learn that there is no such thing as a high beam circuit.... The lighting in these 6th gens are mostly CANBUS. Things are not going to be as simple as you hope. I have a BantamX installed and here is how I have things setup.
Fogs - I have Baja Design S2 pods for fogs. I wired...
You're going to get 100 people telling you 100 different methods and each will say theirs is best. I can tell you mine, its not the best for everyone, but it is the best for me.
I polished with Griots Ceramic 3 in 1 so while it isn't a ceramic coating it works real good and seems to last a long...
I stand corrected then. I did not realize it used the factory switch as a trigger as well.
Can you just power the brite box with switched power so that no matter what the fogs don't stay on without the vehicle running?
The brite box is a decent little standalone unit but for those who want to save some coin you can literally just wire in any switch of your choice and a relay. The Brite Box doesn't do anything other than remove the factory switch from the equation. It doesn't so much make it so your fogs work...
