21740 - Tail Lamp Harness Extension.Suit Toyota Landcruiser Hi-Lux (2pcs)
Fitted with a 6pin plug and a 6pin receptacle that extends OEM tail lamp harness by 600mm allowing relocation of the original lamps where acessories have been fitted that would otherwise obscure the tail lamps if left in their original location.
We supply these to 4WD accessory fitters and other fabricators as a solution to move the orginal tail lamps to a better location with regards to visibility and to comply with ADR and road laws.
Issues with LED lamps on vehicles designed or fitted with filament (globe) lamps:
Fitting LED lamps in place of filament (globe) lamps often causes issues with the vehicle's body system such as tripping globe-out warning lights, reporting system errors or flasher lamps going into globe-out mode and flashing fast. One solution requires cutting into the OEM wiring and fitting load resistors which emulate the original filament lamps but this is at the expense of the vehicle's globe-out warning features and potentially illegal as it is a requirement under law that indicator lamps must flash at a different rate to warn the driver a globe or lamp has failed. LED flasher units can be another solution but this is becoming obsolete and problematic in later vehicles. Neither of these solutions are cost effective or simple to implement in some vehicles.
Our 86710P is a simple solution as it used globes and therefore works the same as the OEM globe lamp in terms of load and avoiding globe-out issues. The adapter wiring harness listed on this page is used as a plug and play solution and is safe, quick to implement, and requires no modifications to the vehicle's wiring.
