Ordered some more goodies for the 4Runner. I was planning on using 6 55w fog lights for rock lights under my Toyota. But they suck a ton of amperage and put out mediocre light. I've always wanted to run LED's but they have been out of my price range. I found a
link on Pirate for a
strip of 20 LEDs for $26. The output looks great for the $. They will be much easier to wire as well. Since they draw little amperage, they don't have be wired with relays. I plan on putting 2 or 3 inside the cab for dome lights and the rest will go under for rock lights.
I also wanted to upgrade my front Hella 500FF's. They are a standard 55w H3 bulb. I don't actually have them wired so I can't comment on how little light they put out in stock form. But the hot modification for these lights is to buy a
cheap HID kit from DDM tuning and convert them to HID's. Granted, the converted lights won't put out as good of light as a true HID but the output will be enough. I ordered the 55w 4500k lights. Should be bright!
I also plan on upgrading my stock alternator to a GM CS130 style alternator. I already have the
Toyota to GM alt bracket. I will need the extra amperage for the winch and the Oasis compressor.
