    Bumper conversion and alpha Rex headlights
    Good evening all,
    Over the weekend I attempted a bumper conversion on my 2013 Limited and added the Alpharex Pro series headlights. The bumper refresh came out fine. However the headlight conversion has proven to be a real challenge. I noticed that other 2014+ 4Runners have a white led.

    I’m aware that the connections are different so I bought updated connectors to make this modification work. Somewhere in wiring process I failed. The high\low\turn signals all work except for the DRL being white.

    You perhaps missed a power wire for the white drl. Check all the connections on the drivers side.

    Thanks and will do. Found 6 fuse locations that are inoperable (see pic). I believe this may due to bad relay. I put new fuses in and retested with no luck. Will press on with checking wire connections and report back.

    Update: turned vehicle on to check all fuses. Vehicle needs to be on or running to get a good read on the lighting fuses. Duhhhh. Learning some hard lessons. Will take lights apart again and finish checking connections (again). Day 3 of not hearing back from Alpharex. :anonymous:
