2017-19 Toyota Highlander LED Sequential Turn Signal Lamps. Toyota Highlander Switchback lamps howto

[@braenlymelo8316]

Just did my 2017 highlander, took me about 4 hours (I always take my time) only one little mistake fixed in seconds. Now it looks way better and better drl than stock. My next goal is the wheel spacers since I already did the front bumper lip. All from your tutorials. Thanks man.

[@braenlymelo8316]

I actually noticed sometimes they turn on when the car is off (which doesn't bother too much) However, it has never drained the battery and they still look and function amazingly.

[@zbomb33]

Great job again! For those of us in cold climates that have to deal with road salt, I would suggest actually cutting the turn signal wire, and splicing in with weather proof heat shrink tubing. Also, take the time to drill a small hole in the side of the fusebox housing, pass the wire through, and silicone (better yet, get a rubber grommet) around the wire. I think I'll be adding these to the wife's highlander using your link! PSA, be very careful drilling into the plastic housing, you don't want to go too far or you may create a circuit and blow yourself up :)

[@JJBanuelos]

Thanks for all those great tips! I definitely agree doing this especially in colder climates.

Great job with the installation video. Very cool add on. My only gripe is that I don’t like how the kit blocks some of the fog light. I wish the kit made it so it didn’t block part of the fog light. Otherwise cool upgrade.

[@ezzy_karugu]

Hi J J. Not sure if you still check your comments as this video is a couple of years old. But if you do, I have a question. I got the sequential fog lights like yours. Different though. Each fog lights has a yellow cable for signal connect plus a connection to a gizmo. But instead of two lines, power & ground; mine has three! Black, White and Res. Black is Ground. Both White and Red when connected individually with the ground, they have white and blue lights! How do I connect this? Am puzzled. Which goes to the fuse box, and where does the remaining wire be connected? Thank you. Ezzy

Quick question , i just instaled the same fog light like you use , the thing is sometimes the fog light just turn on randomly when the car is off, what do you think? Is that supposed to be normal?

[@JJBanuelos]

It’s prob because of the circuit we tapped into in the fuse box my stay awake as technicians say. You could use another switched 12v source in the fuse box or just leave it alone. They won’t stay on all night or forever just momentarily until the system shuts power to it.

[@odyggi]

New subscriber here. Nice job and watched your video so many times😀👍🏼. I have a 2020 Highlander and was inspired by your video so I will be doing the same mod. Question: do you know the fuse number and the fuse name that you used for the tap? Also, I saw it was a 10amp fuse, did you ever have issues with the fuse blowing after the mod? I think 10amp fuse will be sufficient but the wiring harness that came with the DRL/signal lights has a 20amp fuse. Do you foresee any issues with using a 10amp fuse (was planning to tap a 10amp INJ fuse) to tap into? Thanks.

[@JJBanuelos]

Hey! Thanks for the support! Don’t see why you couldn’t use a higher amp fuse wouldn’t hurt. I haven’t had any issues with the 10amp one I am currently using. These are LED lights so they don’t draw much current to cause any kind of issues with blowing fuses
