Recoding Indicator Stalk ?

[cbm8880 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close cbm8880]

I have purchased a set of fog lights off a GXL to fit to my GX. As expected the wiring is already in place. Toyota have advised they can fit it, but it will cost :
~$500 for the indicator stalk with fog light control
~$350 in labour for the fitting of the lights and 'coding' to the computer of the new stalk

Any gurus out there have an opinion on this? I would have thought it would simply be "plug and play".

Similar problem to my gx 120,parts needed where ,
lights $105 for aftermarket kit via a ebay dealer on sunshine coast qld
mounting bracket for soveriegn bullbar $40 from toyota,
Gxl indicater stalk with fog light control, toyota wanted only $160 for the new stalk,got one for $100 from wrecker,easy to fit just remove steering wheel shroud and a couple of screws unplug old stalk then exchange with new
require relay didn't price toyota,just got one from auto lecy $20,plugged into fuse box under bonnet
bingo they work including indicator light on dash.
don't know what is different with the 150s but i doubt toyota has got to reprogram any computer,and i would suggest you try another dealer for prices ,i always get 2 prices from both Penrith toyota and Windsor Toyota
