  • What's wrong with Toyota's and LED Headlight Globes?

    Hello fellow Prado owners. I'm a Newbie to forums and I don't very often have the time to come and chat on forums and i am not here to push my LED products i sell on Ebay and Gumtree either. I can't cope with sales already, so i don't need to do any more advertising :-)

    I have come seeking answers for many problems selling H4 H/L beam globes to Toyota owners.
    I have a 90 series Grande i put LED H4 Hi-Low beam globes in last year and had problems with them working, so an Auto Sparkey fitted a load resistor to them [after in installed LED spotlights too] and now they work fine. I was so happy with LED lights, i have now turned my passion into a Full-Time Business Importing and selling them and other Automotive LED Lighting products.

    Generally, i sell 2 versions of load resistor. The Plug'nplay type and the ones you wire into [Scotch clips] to the positive and negative of the globe and pop-rivet to the inner guard. But they don't always work for some vehicles.
    I had a customer call me today stating that the load resistors i sent him would not work on his 2006 Hilux with LED H4 H/L and the New LED spotlights he also put on. He stated that after he re-wired his Narva relay and had Positive run to #30 and #86 and then ran #87 to the switch and then back to 87 without an earth, they worked fine!

    Bearing that in mind i have another customer with similar problems also with a 2007 Hilux, but no spotlights. What should i advise my buyer please? It is a regular problem and i wish to advise and maybe put a link, image on my sites to help my buyers.
    Any positive information offered, i would be grateful for. Thank you

        Why would you need load resistors on a LED headlight globe anyway? ┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐

          What a douche. Maybe his products are crap, load resistors are only there to create load for things like indicators or to avoid CAN bus errors

            Are these LED globes Plug-n-play or do they run off different Volts and Amps?

                Others on the net are 40-60W. I can't see why you would want to place an extra load on that??

                    Maybe should do your own r&d and find where the problem lies

                      You should advise your customer to return the items and you will credit them the cost of the items and the postage both ways.

                      For an explanation, you should let the customer know that you do not understand the problem and you should not have started selling these items until you had tested them to the point that these problems had been corrected. You should also apologise to the customer for wasting their time.

                          For someone in the business of selling headlights... you really should learn about negatively switched headlights.

                          The only reason you will need a load resistor in conjunction with led headlights is to ensure that you still have the ability to run spotlights. Although in this instance the resistor can actually be much higher in resistance which will require only a half watt or one watt resistor. I have had success in the past with 1/4 watt 1Kohm resistors. When this there purpose we refer to them as pull up resistors.

                          This will also bring back the missing high beam indicator on the dash...
