Thank you for the wiring problem, I am 16 years old, and I am in progress of restoring my brother's old 1996 toyota tacoma, and I bought LED lights for it, couldn't find the problem with the wiring until I stumbled upon you video, thank you!

I actually really appreciate that you kept your "failed" first attempt at "plug and play" because that's EXACTLY what I experienced when I went to plug in my LED light. Same as you, I swapped the wiring around (actually tried many other combos too), but kept getting High Beams on all the time, and when flashing my high beams, it turned off... Then searched a bit and found that Toyotas are switched ground, and these lamps assume a more standard switched positive. So we need the relay wiring kit you ordered (or I guess you can wire it yourself, but for $18, the parts and time to do it is worth that much). Had I seen your video before I started this project, I would have known what to expect and saved some time, but oh well, it's always trial and error with these old Toyotas. BTW, my car is a 1986 MR2 (AW11), and I also have a 1988 Celica (ST165) and 1992 Celica (ST185): they all had the same issue - pretty safe to assume any old Toyotas with the H6054 7x6 headlights have the same wiring. P.S. Also got a good laugh about the rusted headlight ring retainer screw. Those damn things are always rusted on every Toyota I had and the Vise Grip method is my favorite method too!

I just want to personally thank you for this video. I have a 1990 Toyota pick up that I just put some of these in. Went ahead and got the harness just to be safe, and sure enough it was needed! if it weren’t for you showing what was wrong I would’ve probably had an extremely difficult time figuring it out. Thank you so much! I love my new headlights so far. ♥️

Good video. I went from using one, to using two H4 harnesses. The stock Toyota has redundancy (separate fuses for left and right). This setup only uses one Toyota fuse and has only one fuse going from the battery to both headlights. Either fuse blows and both headlights go out at the same time. With two harnesses, I'm using both Toyota fuses left and right, and now running separate fuses for left and right headlights from the battery. Interesting, the high beam indicator light on the dash didn't work with one harness, but now works with two. I simply cut off the part of the harness I was no longer using that went to the second headlight, capped off the exposed wire ends with small wire nuts and some electrical tape. I then added wire to the hot on one harness to reach across to the battery. I used the leftover wire and conduit to lengthen the hot and soldered and taped the connections on the hot. Then it's just plug and play. A good investment for only 17 dollars for the second harness. Much, much safer to have each side fused separate so you don't risk losing both headlights at once!

@@stevenshackelford1032 The harness has the relay in it. Connect the harness to the headlight on one end and to the battery on the other. In the middle there is a place to plug in your old (stock) headlight plug to control the new harness and relay. I used 2 harnesses, so I have 2 fuses. One for each headlight instead of 1 fuse for both headlights. I didn't like the thought of losing both headlights at once if the single fuse blew.

Nice video…definitely a big upgrade over the stock H6054 sealed beams. I also ran into the same issue when installing my JW Speaker 8900 H6054 LED headlights on my 1994 Toyota pickup. Toyota trucks use a double switched ground system which causes the issue since the LED’s headlights are designed to work with a switched positive system. After installing the H4 harness all worked perfectly. Light output is excellent with a very clean cut-off. High beams are insanely bright and usable! Yours came out great!👍🏻

I bough a wiring kit from somewhere out west similar to the one you bought and plugged it up the same way. Still didn’t work. It was a waste of 50 bucks. I hardwired a toggle switch to turn on my brights. I’m really disappointed and am looking for some nice good old fashioned bright halogens now. Glad your stuff worked mine was a waste.

Damn I did exactly this. Before I got the harness, all the lights in the new fixture came on when I turned on low beams, this is after I switched the black and yellow wire like you did (I also suspect the previous owner switched the lows and highs because the factory lights were so dim). After getting the harness I did exactly what you did and nothing. I cleaned the grounds and am sure I did exactly what you did but neither lows or highs worked when I tested them. I will post an update if I figure it out in case anyone is experiencing the same but if you have any ideas of something simple I may be doing wrong or not checking they would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much for doing this. I’m starting my modding adventure on an 89 Toyota pickup sr5. What do you suggest for forums to search for parts for the pickup? Also do you have any preferences for aftermarket accessories such as winches+bumper, led tail lights, etc? Thank you so much for knowledge and time you share with the community. #legend 👍🏾🔥

I've never worked on the 89+ trucks, but I've bought parts from LCE, Low Range, Trail Gear, 22re performance - all good companies. Old Man Emu, Marlin Crawler are a couple more good ones. Just stay away from the cheap stuff made in china and you'll be good.

Have the same lights on a 1989 Toyota pickup truck and when I would turn the lights on they would flicker and turn off then I would turn then off and on again And they would come on. Now they don’t turn on just the high beams come on. Do you think it could be a wiring issue or the light burnt out ? Both side had gone out

I did the exact same install on my truck except I used the harness from trail gear I think it was and I went with the three-row LED headlights. I watched your video and it was exactly the same thing for me. After I put the harness on though everything work good except all my gauges move with the blinker when my headlights are on as well as I can barely see the high-beam icon in my Dash. I talked to an automotive electrician who said he's pretty sure there must be power going out my ground and that I would need I think he said a transistor or something? I checked all my grounds are all nice and clean I'm stumped. Any suggestions?
