Yes Davet!!The prado uses a system that senses the load from the head light globe if you relace the stock fillament type with led you need to buy the load canbus from ebay to add extra load as led have near none you will find also that if you have any aux lights running of the high beam circuit that they along with your high beam dash indicator will not work
Hope this helpsYes Davet!!
Thank you for replying to this.
This be is the answer that has kept me awake at night for months.
It makes so much sense that the loads are different when changing from halogen to led, but I didn’t think that I would need a certain load (or load resistors for that matter) across the headlight circuit to trick it into sending full 12v to the dips.
It’s the last thing for me to try here anyways. But I think you have nailed it.
Get back to you later when I get load resistors fitted and see how big the explosion actually gets…..
Thanks again.
Bad news all,Hope this helps
Hi ShaneI haven't read through the thread but when my 90 series dipped beam went daft , memory is vague but i remember at one point the dip switch would light up both turn signals instead .
Turned out to be a fault in the steering wheel stalk . I was assured by Toyota and everyone that you cannot replace as single stalk so I bought a used whole clockspring and stalk assembly on ebay .
As my luck would have it the replacement assembly came with a female wiring connector to mate with the female connector on my trucks loom
Happily though i learned because of this that you can just swap out a single stalk .
