What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

nothing to post yet.. other than the overhead i guess. i'll grab pics tomorrow

 

What all did you have to wire up in your overhead console? Just lights?

 

just the dome lights. simple really. i just tapped into the dome light wires. the factory roof harness is done the same.. i just used wire taps though. one day i'll go back in and use crimp connections to splice it more like the factory

 

Can't wait to see the console and mirror. I've been wanting to do this mod for a while now.

 

you dont have the overhead already? its just a sunglass holder and 2 lights

The mirror is simple. one constant 12v one acc 12v and a ground

 

And you need to run your thermometer wire somewhere.

 

the mirror i have does not have a temp gauge. only compas

 

still easy to run the temp sensor. i usually find a hole somewher and run the wires and use factory grommets ive saved from harnesses ive replaced at work.. nice clean factory like setup then

 

Yeah o have that. I thought you meant from a Sequoia. What mirror did you use?

 

I want a mirror with auto dim, compass and temp. But I mostly want the compass and auto dim.

 

Put some new stickers on it... with the white paint and several stickers my trucks probably pretty fast right now.

 

ive got a mirror from a 2013 venza. its just autodim and compass. has a microphone in it but thats why it was replaced.. the mic didnt work anymore

 

How much did it cost? Did it bolt right up?

 

Are you in SoCal?

 

Anybody know how to adjust our headlights down? After lifting the truck and installing 100w h4 bulbs, I keep getting flashed and I figure I should angle em down a little.

 

2- 10mm open wrenches and you adjust the upper bolts/nuts that at are next to the side marker. Side marker needs to be removed. I’ll look for pics.

 

Thanks

 

Should have bought Katanas LEDs. Its amazing how white bright, but not blinding they are. These pics show aftermarket brand new housings, but the OEM adjustment should be the same.

Remove side markers and adjust the bolts where the white notched washer is seated. A 10mm wrench on both sides helps.

 

Tech tip: You don't need to remove the side markers. The "gears" on the rear of the white adjustments disks are designed to accept a Phillips head or JIS screwdriver.

 

Yeah you can just stick a screwdriver in without removing anything!

 

I had two vehicles that came w/ auto-dim mirror. Both died around 100k miles. Really sucks having no dimming. Replaced one w/ the regular mirror a buddy had on a shelf. Other car I tinted the back window. Those auto-dim mirrors are expensive retail & usually don't dim during the day when the vehicle behind you is reflecting light at you.
It's a simple project & when they work they're a neat feature, but for me - I like having a knob to flip. I never had a knob-dim mirror fail.

 

Yes I am! That picture in the canyon is Fish Creek in Anza Borrego.

 

I used a long phillips head screwdriver. There is a hole near the back of the housing on the outboard side that it will fit in. turning it will then aim the light up or down.

 

Here's what the FSM has to say.

 

So the image has em on the wrong sides?

 

You the man!

 

I just ordered new OEM outer tie rods since I'm getting some side to side play when I have the truck jacked up. If you guys are not ordering your OEM parts from Toyota of Cool Springs you may want to start. They are cheaper than anyone else I've found, even Toyota Parts Deal. They deliver extremely fast too.

 

Hahaha, thought so! But had to ask in case there's some other other-worldly place to explore, I don't know about.

 

There is a hole in the crossmember, use a phillips driver and theres a gear you turn to adjust.
