Front Signal lights

In 2018 Tundra went to LED daylight running lights. in doing so they rewired the front signal lights incorrectly to the old duel filliment bulb. by wiring the front filament for the signal they dropped it down to the 8 Watt front of the bulb rather than the intended 28 Watt rear filament. Toyoat initally refused to correct the issue so I contacted Transport Canada who opened a file #2020-1089. Within two days a got a call from the dealer and the following week the issue was resolved by repinnng both front bulbs. I now have signal lights people can see.
It appears however that Toyota does not want to do a recall which involves 2018, 2019 and 2020 Tundra's. So for those with the same issue, talk to your dealer or maybe call transport Canada. 1-800-333-0510. If more people raise the issue Toyota Texas may be forced to fix the issue.

 

This came out a few weeks ago.

I’m curious, did they act surprised and then suddenly know exactly how to fix it?

 

I have to ask. Why since 2018 has no one contacted Toyota about this, or have they with no response. The photos posted are correct. Toyota re pinned the signal lights and they are great, a full 28 watts. They seem to have known there was an issue but were surprised that there were very few complaints. Also I have visited several dealerships and found that several tundra's come with the front bumper out of allignment, including mine. I brought mine back and they fixed that too, there were several trucks on their lot including a 2020 and all had front bumpers out of allignment. Toyota seems to be aware of therse issues however, after three years there seems to be no factory fix in sight. maybe with the new body style coming these issues will be a thing of the past.

 

I’d have to guess that most Tundra enthusiasts who noticed the dim signals simply swapped in LED lights and called it fixed
