    Has anybody had any luck wiring their own driving light loom into the MY18 wiring? Or is a canbus module with some smarts required?
    Cheers,

        I’ve just installed the Toyota genuine wiring harness with Kings lights. Was pretty straight forward, just fiddly and time consuming. Took me 2.5 hours. The Canbus wiring on the 2018 Prado means you need to pickup the trigger wire at the headlight stalk.

          Hi all, I am looking at getting a set of driving lights for my 2018 Prado. I will be using the genuine wiring kit to wire these up however the driving lights have a DRL/position LED strip on them, does anyone know what would be the best way to wire this up so they work along with the cars DRLs as i don't believe the genuine harness has allowed for this.

          Thank you

            How hard is it to install your self ? Or should I ask Toyota at the 10k service to do while there so it’s it’s plug and play for when I get lights and a bull bar as I don’t have now but will I future when I have $

              You can use any harness but you need to run the activation wires back to the headlight stalk anyway.
              my issue is, I have the genuine harness, lights installed, but am trying to figure how to wire the Stedi switch to the harness. Got the dash illumination sorted but which ever way I wire the switch circuit, the green on/off indicator is backwards. Ie on when off and off when on. Any help would be appreciated.

                Hi Toopy, i have recently installed the genuine harness with a Stedi switch with the same issue. I just omitted the use of the white ground wire. I contacted stedi after to see if there is a work around which they replied "We have found that the supplied genuine switch does not have illumination for this exact reason. Our switch is still able to be used, however the white earth needs to be omitted from use.This means that the Stedi switch will act exactly like the genuine toyota switch without the illumination. By earthing the black to body and powering pin 5 to dash light circuit, you will still have the dash illumination circuit."

                  Thanks mate, seems you had better luck than I did when I called stedi and spoke to there “tech” guy.

                    I have just the Toyota wiring harnesses installed with a set of lights. They are having trouble as when the lights are switched on from the stork, the fuse blows each time. they have been at it for a few hours and can’t find the problem. Any guidance from the group or do you know a good auto electrician on Sydney northern beaches

                      If they installed the genuine loom correctly then most likely they have shorted a wire on reassembly. The genuine harness is pretty simple just fiddly. Perhaps disconnect it and see if the issue persists.

                        The original question on here was concerning the hi beam pick up point. I'm attempting to install Stedi lights who say to ' remove the connector from the rear of your headlight'. Well, there aint none! Ad the manual supplied with the car says I have halogen lights!!
                        So....... is there a connector somewhere near the hi beam headlight that I can't seem to find?

                          cbp, what model Prado do you have? I believe it is only the GX model that has halogen lights in the current range.

                            I have the GXL and I must admit I'm getting a bit frustrated with the misinformation on where you attach that white female connector at the front. So far I have been told;
                            The hi beam light (Stedi)
                            The engine relay ( 4WD Forum)
                            Main light connector behind headlight (Stedi upgrade for 150 Prado).
                            I dont think these people have ever looked at a new Prado? The worst part are the comments on Stedi that say it was easy.
                            The other connections on the Stedi harness are straightforward but not that one at the headlight.

                              If you are fitting Stedi spotlights to a 150 Series Prado MY 18+ you do not connect the white 'spare' plug to anywhere near the front of the vehicle.
                              NOT: the high beam light, the main light plug or the main engine plug as suggested by some people.
                              This plug must be connected to two wires on the Stedi Piggyback harness that can be purchased separately.

                              A bit angry at being given incorrect advice? You guessed it!

                                cbp,

                                I am not familiar with the additional Stedi harness you mention but I suspect it will connect in a similar manner to the genuine loom, that is under the steering wheel.
                                In regards to incorrect advice on forums etc always ensure you post all relevant detail concerning your query. In this case you posted that your manual indicated halogen lights which will have a bulb connector whereas if you had advised you have a 2018+ GXL I’m sure someone would have advised you have LED lights and a canbus system. As any good parts interpreter will ask, model, year & VIN to ensure you get the right info.
