2014-2019 Lexus GX460 Headlamp conversion to 2021 Model PART 1

  • Okay guys, its been a long journey to finally get to this point. Not in a million years did i ever think i would be able to accomplish this due to the ridiculous price to upgrade these lights. I will not be including a link to where i purchased these lights due to the service and process i had to go through with the distributor of these lights. They're all over Ebay in countries such as China and Dubai. I will be offering to sell these on Ebay, Marketplace, and Offerup. once my shipment of lights arrive and they will be shipped out via FEDEX from the USA.
    NEW UPDATE !!!
    The harnesses that came with the Chinese set of lights must be used because the L-shaped LED inside the headlamps become switchback turn signals. Meaning, they stay white when you drive and flow orange when you signal. Your OEM bumper turn signals are no longer used. These will end up being either parking lights or an extra set of fog lights. I will end up doing another video for the new find. The new video will be called GX460 headlamp conversion Part 2.

    Bob, you probably the only person on TH-cam that focus on Lexus 460 GX. Thanks for alway going beyond anyone else have done. I like to see you try to tackle the change of the low beam lightbulbs. I knew you tried it before, but I like to see your video on that one. Thanks and great job, Bob ! The truck look sick ! Hopefully, you get more of those headlights from Chinese distributors...keep the video coming, Bob !

    "LEDs are powered by alternating current, AC, in which electrons in the electricity move in and out of the circuit in cycles. ... When the frequency of the camera's frame rate per second (FPS) and the LEDs don't quite match, the flicker becomes visible on the camera screen." - All good, Bob!

      Hey Freq. Unfortunately there are quite a few of us that are seeing a "Check Headlight system" message on our diagnostic screen. The vendor is sending out some decoder that is supposed to delete this. If you don't mind the message, then the lights are great, otherwise you'll see that error message for now.

    Thank you for the inspiration, Bob! Today I did the same conversation!
    Tip for those who have Premium package and want to remove the bumper: unplug a water tube (the main one, located on the passenger side, and be ready to stop the water:)), fog light connectors and sensors/turn signals harness (biggest one, that Bob unplugged after removing the bumper) BEFORE removing the bumper. It’s super easy to do when all bumper’s bolts unscrewed and edges are opened, like Bob shows in this video.

    Great video. I’ve purchased a few China made lights and they always fit fine and the issue I get is with the internals for light adjusting. They either don’t work or don’t adjust enough to get a oem light pattern. Also I would recommend putting a clear vinyl wrap or ceramic coating on them while still new. Mine have always faded faster then oem.

    • @GXBOB
      @GXBOB  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Then be proactive and seal your headlamps prior to installation. Condensation happens because the rubber seal has a void. Take care of that void and you should have a long life of a good set of headlamps. I had this issue with other model cars such as HOnda Civics. Same thing. Seal all the rubber caps prior to installation and you're good.

  • @yota22RE81

    Probably a cheaper route to make it look like a 2020 model but I'm not entirely sure the headlight performance is comparable to OEM.

    • @GXBOB
      @GXBOB  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thats always the case no matter what it is. OEM is always better but the trade off is the price difference. As long as you have a solid background on the quality, function, and life of the aftermarket product and do a return on investment analysis, you can decide for yourself if saving a thousand here and there (if the car doesn't blow up because of it) is worth the price of sleeping uneasy at night. Thats what all the videos on youtube are for, folks doing the installations and walk thrus for you to make that decision for you. Not all aftermarkets are robust, of course. I"m having issues with an error message on my screen right now due to the lights and the supplier is sending me a bypass module but these are trials and error and having fun at the same time while doodling with our GX's.

      Hey Cedar! Welcome to the GX channel. I"m sorry but the conversion starts with 2014 and up. Converting from a 2010 is more than just plug and play and requires extensive modifications. The car and lights are too new to be weathered for quite a long time. By that time, the car will most likely be sold.

I did not notice any type of AFS system. As far as AFS, i messaged the manufacturer and he will send out a decoder for me (whatever that means), I replied and asked what this decoder entails. More to come. Remember, this is all trial and error at this point. But i'm glad you brought up issues i didn't think about.

      you realize the kit will not fit your generation right? Its for a 2014 and up. You need the hourglass looking grill to begin with. The older 2010 to 2013 has the older rectangular grill. I've known some people that switched out the entire bumper to do it but i have no info on that mod.

      I can only confirm the fitment to a 2014 and up GX w/o changing out the front bumper (the outline of the bumper to the headlamps are different between generations). There are kits you can buy to change out your bumper completely to accommodate the upgraded lights but i would rather just fork out some cash and buy a2014 to start out with. Thats exactly what i did. I had a black 2011. My goal was to get the hourglass grille that started with the 2014.

      Wow, you actually went for the entire conversion kit? Nice. You're going to have be patient and figure out which color wire does what and in which plug using a test probe, test light, ohm meter, etc....
      Then you're going to have to figure out which prong lights up which light on the Chinese set. Its difficult to diagnose over the internet because a lot of what you're going to have to do is trial and error. Myself, i don't have a 2011-2013 GX460 currently to even do a test trial for you.

      Artem, i do not know of anyone that sells those Y-connectors separately. It would be easier if you cut the wires and tap them in yourself. It will require a basic knowledge of electrical wiring. Just tap the bottom turn signals to one of the headlight wires that is supposedly the turn signals. I would first put power to each wire on the headlamp to figure out which wire is the turn signal first before tapping them to your bottom signals. Thats the route i would go.
