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

I want to say someone was doing that for the first gen Tacomas about a decade ago. But they were much more popular trucks than our Tundras when new.
Yep found em.

Accidentally fried my HU trying to run a backup camera. I pinched the cable running from the rear under the side step panel so I cut it open and spliced the connections (red/green/copper shielding), I then put it all under 1 heat shrink (I think this where I ****** up). Plugged everything back in the HU, turned the key, and started smelling fried electronics . Luckily I'm still in my return window, but lessons learned..

 

We get no respect in the aftermarket community. Rodney Dangerfield feelings.

 

Yeah they're pretty good at responding and sent my first replacement out pretty quickly without much pushback or issues (after a couple of email volleys back and forth). Just make sure you have pics to send proactively if you ever have any issues to save back and forth emailing (that alone could take a few days). They are based in China so it takes them a while to get back as far as their business hours vs ours. I only just sent my message out Friday, so I doubt I'll hear anything until at least late tonight/early tomorrow morning, hopefully they just send out a fresh pair of Y6s since its a more tried and true model.

Update: Glad I just checked my spam folder. Got this email at around 2am. smh not sure how switching them will make any difference but I'll give it a try when I can get around to it.

 

Arent they LH and RH position dependent? Probably they are asking you to do this to troubleshoot your connections and prove if the bulb is bad.

 

No, with the Y6 at least, they're not. It's truly a drop-in affair. No set screws or rotation, and they're not directional.

If they sent a RHD bulb instead of the LHD bulbs normally sold here in the USA, that would be an issue.

 

Thought the LH bulb had a different pattern for the oncoming traffic?

 

The slope/cuttoff on LHD (left hand drive) bulbs is different from RHD (right hand drive) bulbs. LHD bulbs cutoff low on the left. RHD bulbs cutoff low on the right. But LHD pairs and RHD pairs are identical to one another, regardless whether it's the left bulb or right bulb. They're light bulbs, not tennis shoes.
