Ingres,i'm very picky and if it's not 100% right then i wont stop till it is,and that will mean more $$$....but hey thats me. :)

so i'm still sitting on the fence watching & listening at the moment,and i'm in no hurry so alls good,one thing with the Aurion i've learnt to be patient. B)

Haha, true, with the things you have already done to your car, it should be done rite.. maybe the parts that "KEN33F" highlight might solve the problem??

yeah i was looking at the gap also...Daryl yours do look different,it seems like ya have a rubber or whatever it's made of ring in the place where the gap is on the aftermarket jobbies...

maybe factory build took into affect the amount of vibration thru the front bar and added something... :unsure:

From the Toyota parts diagrams it appears that there's a piece that goes between the shroud and the actual lamp..

It appears to be part of the fog shrouds:

52030-06030 (RH)

32040-06030 (LH)

I checked with toyota today there is no part inbetween the front panel and fog light.

Just a little advice to people that are going to do this conversion yourself, becareful of the clock spring in between the stalk and the steering wheel. The thing has a 5 turn lock to lock, it felt like it just keeps turning, anyways, the thing is $476.30 to replace and I am replacing it today.

You can't take the cover off the steering column without taking off the steering wheel. This is because the two screws that hold the cover on are located behind the steering wheel. Taking the steering wheel off is quite easy actually. As long as you have the right Torx security bit. The procedure is pretty much the same as the Kluger which has already been documented:

Steering wheel needs to come off for the stalk to be replaced. I just used 4.5 allen key and it did the trick to take the steering wheel off. Now I've done it, I reckon it will take 30 minutes from start to finish, it's actually quite simple to do.

DJ,

did you find that the switch was not 100% in fitment that the actual switch part need to be shaved a bit so it wouldn't get stuck and black texa drawn on the side so the cream abs wasn't showing?

Firstly the switch that Ingres got was uniform in colour with no irregularities.

As for the fitment, it didn't exactly lock into place in the panel, but slotted in without the need to shave or cut away any plastic. Once in, you can press the button without it catching on the side. It does the job with no issues at all.

Firstly, if you need to run any wires through the firewall, the best place is the grommet located next to the ECU on the passenger side. This will end up behind the glove box.

Secondly, you can use either the loom that they have supplied and wire them up completley separately, or you can utilise the pre-existing harness that comes with the Aurion. If you choose this method, you will need to firstly obtain a micro relay (details in this post), and then you will need to connect a switch to the wiring harness going to the indicator stork. To do that though, you most likely will need to remove your steering wheel (I prefer to connect direct to the connector, and that's the only way to access it). That's what I had to do with Ingres. I didn't take note of the wire colours but I can remember the location. If you get a photo of the connector and wires connecting to the stork, I can tell you what to connect a switch to.

When wired to the stock harness and when the fog light switch is on, the fog lights come on whenever the parker lights are on.

Hey guys,

What do you all think about this kit on eBay

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/MARS-SPOTLIGHT-LAMP...=item5d27eae358

there is also this one

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Toyota-Aurion-06-09...=item519036e530

Cheers

With the one from MARS, there's nothing in detail about what's included in the package. Only photos are shown. You may want to confirm with the seller.

With the second link, no actual photo is shown. You may find that this seller has actual photos for most of the other items. Make sure the seller has the item in stock.

With both links, make sure the switch you get will fit your dash board. And mind you, only one bolt is needed for the installation of each fog light. Make sure no extra brackets whatsoever are required for the installation of the fog lights you are buying.

Ari's link seems to be dead as well as links to the wiring diagram

I too noticed the dead link to the pic of the wiring in this thread, so recently tried to revive another similar thread.

I hope you have more luck with responses than I did though.

      RZN169 Poor fuel economy and low/rough idle at cold start up

      Hi all, First time writter. Long term reader. I have a RZN169r 1999 Toyota Hilux 3rzfe Manual 4WD with 425,000KM. Which we have owned from 130,000KM. Since about the 400,000km mark (it had a new/used 138,000km engine only, installed at 385,000KMs) it has been using fuel and idiling rough. I'm getting 100kms less then usual. We would normally get 450-550kms per tank. Now getting 350km-400kms. Our long term mechanic of 20 years retired a few years ago and I have no one in my local area who knows these engines or who I trust. Any sugestions on who I can take my car to? I also have no faith in my local Toyota Dealer. I'm in Sydney NSW. Thank you in advance.

      Purchasing 2014 Prado GXL - Requesting Inputs

      Hello, Thanks for reading my post. We're in the middle of the process of buying 2014 Prado GXL from a private buyer in Brisbane. It has 107K km on the odometer, we arranged an independent inspection and only noticeable issue came out of the inspection is presence of rust. Inspector said general wear (ageing) and rust to the components consistent with the age and mileage. I've attached some of the images(related to rust) from the inspection, please review and let me know if I should be concerned about any future issues or as the inspector mentioned is the rust presence is expected for a 10-year old Prado. Appreciate your help in advance. Thanks, VM

      3rd Gen (XU50) Kluger new aftermarket radio install

      Hi there sorry for the late response, The reverse guidelines are on the factory camera itself (the guidelines are turned off on the Pioneer unit as it doubled up over the factory camera lines) and if I remember correctly they still retain the angle prediction. Everything else (excluding DAB) works***. But instead of using DAB I've downloaded RadioApp which has all of the DAB stations on it and is accessible by Android Auto (not sure on Apple CarPlay though) so no biggie. I also used an adapter to retain the original GPS antenna, works flawlessly. *** EDIT *** The info on the instrument cluster may or may not show, depending on what interface you end up using. In my case I've lost the audio and navigation info on the centre screen and fuel economy/vehicle customisation screens from the factory head unit but I'm not fussed by it as there are other ways to access them on a Kluger. I think it's all retained if you use iDatalink Maestro and a compatible head unit (it will be marked as such) but besides that and DAB all other functions are still operable.
