LED Mirror Light Kit For FJ Cruiser- How To Install

LED mirror light mod, and how to remove side mirror, using a complete kit from Freedom Retrofits. An install so easy, anyone can do it!
We change the outdated side mirror marker lights on our Toyota FJ Cruiser to modern LEDs. Unlike the common mirror light mod where just the bulb is changed to LED, we switch out the entire light assembly with a kit from Freedom Retrofits. Here's a link to the side mirror light drop-in-kit:

Just got myself an FJ. Always been a Tacoma guy. But wow your guys KZbin channel has really blown me away. Never have I ever found a channel so helpful with tips and helpful information. Very underrated channel. Y’all deserve more subs for the great quality vids you guys make.

[@binyamj]

I loved the long stare and little smirk for the "experts" out there haha! Great video as usual.

[@WanderlostOverland]

[@WanderlostOverland]

[@mauricebattle978]

[@ICU2002]

I like to see you guys do a por-15 or any other frame rust inhibitor for your FJ.

[@OscarCastillo-fl9dw]

They are sold out I am on the waiting list thanks these is awesome 🤩

[@WanderlostOverland]

Glad you like them!

[@carbonunit]

I just installed these the other day,. Installation was fairly easy, I think it took about 1 hour. it looks great, definitely a nice new look over the old lights, The only negatives I came a crossed was the adapter wasn't a airtight fit .Im going to keep a eye on it for water leakage and maybe run a little weather seal around the bracket, similar to how the weather strip tape on the OEM fixture. The second thing was the white LEDs are a little on the bright side, There probably no brighter than the LED strips you see on new cars, and no one has flashed the highs at me yet. maybe I can work in a resister with a dial to adjust it to the brightness I want. or work in the amber lights. other wise the look great.

[@stevegreen245]

Hey folks! Pay attention when Mark says the twist the screwdriver. Do not pry up. I did, and the mirror broke very easy. And I don't remember exactly but they cost ether 75 bucks or 130. Probably 130.

[@maheshbmj]

nice. detailed to the point.

[@WanderlostOverland]

Glad it was helpful!

[@edwardbernard9198]

Awesome video!

[@WanderlostOverland]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@sameermulla5950]

Excellent job i like this channel

[@bruceblackburn3645]

Interesting video - thanks. You could use a meter on DC Volts to determine the polarity of the wires coming from the FJ. Sometimes just hooking them up can cause damage.

[@WanderlostOverland]

Good tip!

[@jeffwarren8154]

A great video and another victim of the 50/50/90 rule. When faced with a 50/50 choice, odds are, you are wrong 90% of the time. ; )

[@KL00100]

Great, mod. I'm doing this.

[@WanderlostOverland]

It is pretty cool!

[@blackackcl]

Great how to, would be better if the kit included a plug and play plug end to plug into the stock plugs

[@johndiaz7240]

Yes we do like and subscribe 🙃

[@EverythingFJ]

"Now experts say disconnect the battery" stares* knowing he danm well didn't

[@WanderlostOverland]

Ha Ha

[@nnperformance76]

Another great video. Have KC cyclones as rock lights on the fj. Resistor? For dimming?

[@dtcjeep3957]

Screw street legal brightness!

[@nicknejad5758]

Thank you for the great information you’re providing, my 2013 FJ mirror lights is out. Do you know which fuse I need to check? Thanks Nick

[@WanderlostOverland]

I'm sorry, I don't

[@sethliberty9228]

Would really be nice if they made a parking light to keep all of the amber the same. It looks great but I really like how factory mirrors and markers have the same amber color

[@WanderlostOverland]

That would be cool!

[@anavan7]

I’m waiting till they make the alternating amber white led version. I think I can buy these and install some I found online then splice the wires to the turn signals. So much cheaper than freedom light but will need to create a mounting base.

[@carbonunit]

The mounting base is all your really paying for. It's 3d printed. Also I noticed that they discontinued this item.

[@White_buffalo_4r]

I love those solder connector they work so well. I use them for each of my connections and even though they seal for waterproof I still used a separate heat shrink tubing to just make certain. So does the mirror on the 4R come off the same way? I need to change out my puddle lights and have been afraid to take them off cause I don't want to break the mirror and have the wife upset at me lol.

[@WanderlostOverland]

Thanks for watching! We haven't had our 4R mirrors out, yet. so we're no help. :)

[@White_buffalo_4r]

@@WanderlostOverland I understand that I have seen where they have actually mounted the white version of that KC light under the mirror on the 4R but not sure if I want it hanging down right there like that.

[@m7ti775]

FIRST TNX FOR VIDEO :x AND qustion : HOW CAN BUY brackets ?? and what name serching to buy this item tnx

[@RoshanPatel1441]

How to turn the head hosing to turn the entire housing out?

[@edwardwillis8197]

Have you done a video on sun roof leaks ?

[@WanderlostOverland]

No, sorry. I've always had bad luck with sunroofs.

[@XzadforSpacefox]

Good watch though I have a 17 4Runner. Also someone looks like they got some sun!

[@staycoldfrank]

Nice looking product but $250 is a little steep for a visual mod

[@dtcjeep3957]

I would just get some Amber led inserts and swap them in. I’m a cheap bastard. And a DIY’er. But not everyone knows how to custom build stuff

[@carbonunit]

Its $210 now

[@paris6402]

Does the kit come with 2x lights for both sides?

[@WanderlostOverland]

It does!

[@lonesomecricket7721]

👋🙂

[@jdhitc]

How much brighter r these

[@WanderlostOverland]

Considerably.

[@joefuller3467]

3:02 to 3:05....LOL

[@peten6445]

275 dollars? Too rich for me..

[@KissmyBasss]

Hell, you can buy a bumper for this price! No thnx
