    Does anyone think Old Red's harness would work with a 2022MY SR5 base (H from his research above)? Would really like to add heated mirrors (and ideally the turn signals/puddle lights).

    Graveyard dig.

    So I've acquired a harness. The driver side mirror works and that's great. Anyone want to shed some light on the subject in where the yellow and white wires connect to? I'm not opposed to try hunt and peck but if yall have done this, some knowledge would be great.

    Love and thanks to those who have pioneered this.

    I got the KTJP one. Shipped fast considering the holiday. Unfortunately i don't think I'm going to have any luck here trying to find a reference point to where the corresponding wires have to tap into. but i'll keep digging

    I bough the same harness and no instructions sent, when I reached out they acted like there was one on the website but there is not. I had the puddle and turns working on drivers side but my mirror movements were flipped so when I hit right or left it would go up and down. I flipped the wires in the harness and it fixed that issue but now turns and puddles are dead. I am waiting to get Ol Reds harness. Let me know if you had the same issue or is you get it working.

    Yea I noticed so far that the controls are wonky. Haven't tried any wiring yet. Too busy transporting kids to sports. Ugh. I'll get to it tonight when it's dark and cold. Lol.

    It's a long list...

    Fellas,

    @LandLover, @djdaves, the unfortunate reason why there is no public documentation on this modification is directly because of KTJO4x4 and her shady business tactics. You will not find any documentation from me regarding this modification (or any others for that matter) on the forums directly because of her, and a moderator on another forum who saw fit to back her ripping people off. If you google TRD Pro side mirror swap on the other 4Runner site you can read a really long thread outlining this issue amongst others. There's a reason she is banned from all the Toyota sites. If it sounds like I am not a fan, it's because I am very much not for some very good reasons.

    KTJO saw the opportunity to make a quick buck ripping off my harness design without permission. This is the result, and it isn't the first time she has "misrepresented" her products. There is a reason your mirror controls are flipped, and that the puddle lights and turns are dead when you correct it. The reason there is no documentation on her site is because she never made any (or can't provide it because she can't get a copy of mine). Taking a picture of my harness and sending it to her manufacturer in china to make a look-a-like does not an equivalent make.

    You are both not the first, nor will likely be the last to have this issue. My advice to you is uninstall the harness you purchased from her, return it, and get your money back before you really mess up your vehicle. If she refuses to refund either of you, let me know. Neither of you should have to hassle with this. Please PM me privately, and I will help get you guys sorted out so that you have the correct components to make this work for you and your vehicles.

    -Old Red

    I am going to tag myself in this thread, as I have a mirror that needs to be replaced. I know Ol Red is working on getting these back on the market, so I will patiently wait.

    Hi,

    Does anyone know if Old Red has made any of the harnesses available for the mirror upgrade? I am new and can't even figure out how to PM someone yet but I'd like to do this upgrade. My 2022 ORD mirrors are such crap. Thanks!

    I have a 2022 ORD with mirrors that basically have nothing. What will I need and from what vehicles to get the mirrors upgraded. Thanks!

    I am assuming you want to upgrade to the turn signal mirrors. You will need his wiring harness and Driver/Passenger side mirror assembly($220-ish a pop). I also bought LED puddle lights and the CaliRaisedLED sequential turn signals.

    I appreciate the info as it is sparse at best. If you don't mind how much are the harnesses and what 4 Runner mirrors (model) has the TS/PD option we need? If I'm understanding things I'm reading it's not the Pro version. Thanks!

    Harness was around $100.

    No idea what TS/PD is to be honest.

    I'm not sure where and from what model to get the mirrors I'd heard the TRD Pro doesn't have the right mirrors.

    Oh that makes sense.

    Toyota 87910-35C01 Outside Rear Mirror Assembly
    Toyota 87940-35B70 Outside Rear View Driver Side Mirror Assembly

    Search around with those part numbers to price compare. I have heard if you find them cheaper at an online dealership, some local dealerships will price match.

    The painted piece on your mirror will transfer over to the new set of mirrors.

    Not yet. Just got the harness a week or so again. I am working on getting all the upgrades before I buy the mirror housing. Ordered the LED replacement puddle bulbs and ordered the CaliRaisedLED sequential turn signal. After I get those, I will work on getting the mirrors.

    No worries. The housing that you would order with the part numbers will have the puddle lights(halogen) and turn signal. I choose to upgrade those from the start since they will be off the vehicle and easier. $100 was for the set. You get 2 harnesses(driver and passenger).

    CaliRaisedLED: https://caliraisedled.com/products/...mzMeM-K-NE2Nvj-Q8G-CaPafyMXkBdMaPk8IOY43Fqssd

    LED Puddle light: https://www.amazon.com/LASFIT-Canbu...8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1

    Those 2 links are just if you wanted to upgrade from the factory halogen puddle light and the factory on-off turn signal

    I'm actually pretty good with doing the work it's all the other stuff like using Instagram. I just made an account found Old Red and he's all out but making up a new batch. Do you happen to know how much work is involved with the harness? Is it all plug and play or is there some splicing as well?

    I believe it is 99% plug and play. There is like 2 or 4 wires( don't quote me entirely on that) that need to be spliced(he includes everything that is needed) total.

    Thanks again for the heads up! I used the Lasfits on my Tacoma front side markers pretty bright I must say. I guess I'll wait and make sure I can get the harness. I totally hate Toyota in that 46K wasn't enough on the ORD for puddle lights. I was thinking about this for a while and while I was stripping off that damn film on the mirrors some of my solvent ran down and actually melted the black plastic housing and here, we are. The solvent was well known and very easy on the paint but who knew it would kill the ABS.

    Just be careful with plastic pretty harmless on paint if your interested.
