Here/s a tip that several videos I've watched have missed. When doing the low beam bulb on the passenger side, before removing the dust cap you first press those 2 small tabs where the windshield wash filler tube connects to the body and lift the tube up slightly so you can move the filler tube to the side for easier access to the dust cover. That's actually why the filler tub neck is " corrugated"| so it can be bent to the side. 'Also if the new LED seems a little hard to get into the "socket" for the bulb just remove the smaller thinner rubber gasket from the old halogen bulb and put that one in place of the one on the LED. It will still seal the inside of the headlight but being thinner it will fit into the :"mounting tab slots" in the housing a bit easier.
Piece of friendly advice for anyone trying this: Make sure not to drop the moisture cap inside engine bay. I dropped the right side cap and had to remove panels underneath to recover that in 20 degrees cold in the dark of night.
Oh man! So sorry you went through that! In the process, did you notice how easy it would be to upgrade the fog lights? I have a video for that as well.
could you please also provide your feedback on the fan noise level? Is it noticeable when A/C was not on? Also, because it seemed that the moisture cap did not completely seal the unit, there is a possibly dust and water could go into the unit and decrease it's life span.
I really can't hear the fan when these are on and the car is running, they are really quiet tiny fans. I have not noticed any water getting inside due to the cap not closing completely. The gasket is still sealing the opening, so unless I submerge the truck, they shouldn't get much moisture all the way up there inside the hood.
That’s a tough one. You could cut out the back just enough to allow it to stick out, but you don’t want dust/debris/bugs getting into the lense body showing up inside.
@@DansWayJust FYI @AUXITOLED posted this exact video on their channel, not sure if you gave them permission to do so. I noticed a few other reviewers posted on their channel as well. ruclips.net/video/GrEjOOINEco/видео.html
got it, and thank you, i just bought for my highlander 2019, my lasfit is broke,but lasfit was perfect for highlander but is expensive why i bought this led h11, so we will see how long can work this led light, lasfit worked around 1 year
Ah man, it should last longer than that... Warrantee on Auxito bulbs is 2-years if you purchase from their website. Not sure if you purchase from Amazon...
I love mine. Will be using again. Funny story. About six months after installation. You know how the LED bulbs have 2 LED's? Well, one on one side burned out. Since I've mainly been doing city driving these days, I haven't bothered to change that bulb for over a year. Even with half the bulb not working, it's still brighter than the OEM. Also i'm using the ambers for my driving lights. I don't like the super white in the rain. And I couldn't find anything in between. It does make the roadsigns look yellow but I've gotten used to it. I still use white for the high beams.
@toyotabrony I got used to the amber color. I would not enjoy driving country roads with half brightness. In those cases, you can never have enough headlight. But of course, oncoming traffic would not appreciate an off-road light bar. Oh, and I almost forgot. With really bright high beams, the roadsigns can be blinding.
I have a 22 highlander platinum the headlights move side to side when turning the steering wheel, I'm not sure if I could I use a different bulb or would I need to get something special?
I don’t see flicker when looking directly at the lights, but looking away you see a flicker. I like that this attracts attention which is the whole point of DRL. Looses some minor style points but it is ultimately safer to be noticed.
@@DansWay Totaly different. Try to find out how to do it in the 2022 model. Good luck. It’s either permanently sealed and requires special tools, or the entire headlamp needs to be replaced, which would suck, and it would be a turn-off for me. The manual says: replacing the low/high bulb must be done by your dealer. After 3 days of searching I gave up. If you find any info on that, I’d appreciate the link. Also… can’t find how many lumens the low/highs give out. I called Toyota - they did not know. Can you believe it????

Thanks for the tips! I'll try that next time myself.
Super helpful, thank you!
Thinking of replacing headlights and maybe convert to LED in the process. Appreciated the walkthrough to help get us in the right frame of mind. 👏
Glad I could help. Did you do this yet?
Same here, I just watched this video. I'm changing them on my wife's Highlander tonight. Thank you
@@scottrose5922 let us know how it turns out!
Thanks for the previous video. Loving my lights now
Thanks for the feedback! Did you do both headlights and high-beams?
We owned a 2012 Highlander, a very good auto. Thanks for your knowledge

@@DansWay Exactly. I should have been ready with the fog lights upgrade. I was right in there.. :)
Great vid. Is it safe to touch the halogen bulb with nitrile gloves?

I use ambers on my Tundra for its driving lights. I couldn't find anything in between. The cool whites are completely useless in the rain.
do these bulbs need a conversion kit? or are they straight forward swap?
These are direct swap. Nothing else required.
No LED Resisters needed?
This was a couple years ago. How did these lights work out for you?
Still going strong! No problems, and I continue to recommend Auxito for all my upgrades, family and friends.
@@DansWay thank you for the update!
Have a question, I bought led lights, but it's a bit longer and wider therefore I cannot put the cap back on, what do I do in that situation?
That’s a tough one. You could cut out the back just enough to allow it to stick out, but you don’t want dust/debris/bugs getting into the lense body showing up inside.

I purchased the AUXITO LED whole package. How do you resolve rapid turn signal blinking for the 2019 Toyota Highlander?
On the driver side I had to install the resistors they can provide. Sorry that wasn't made clear in my turn-signal video.
I really like your channel, keep it up
Hey Thanks man!
@DoingThing’sDanWay
Are the Auxito - M3 led bulbs works well? No issues?

@@rawmilkmike still holdin up well for after half brightness yet still bright. That’s awesome. I would not get use to that lol

I honestly have no idea... If you check the Auxito website they might offer a part based on your year/make/model
how do replace the 2022 toyota highlander xle headlight bulb?
I'll have to investigate that model year. Does it look significantly different than my 2017 on the inside of the headlight assembly?
I wish showed us how the Daytime running lights look like. I hope not like candle light anymore😀
I don’t see flicker when looking directly at the lights, but looking away you see a flicker. I like that this attracts attention which is the whole point of DRL. Looses some minor style points but it is ultimately safer to be noticed.
agreed...daytime running lights don't need to be bright, but it is annoying that they look "old" & yellow.
You need to install rear bumper fog lights too
Since switching to these led headlights is technically illegal in the states do you get harassed by the police or at yearly safety inspection?
I have a 2021 toyota highlander L I swear I can't even fine the headlight please anyone help
Have you tried both amazon and ebay? Mine's a two thousand fourteen and it's been almost a year since I bought mine.
Mine is 2008 highlander and looks quite differnt from yours.
Do that in the 2022 model!
Is the 2022 really different?
@@DansWay Totaly different.

question is this light heats-up please give your reviews
It does get warm, but the fan keeps it cool enough to last.
Great vid. Is it safe to touch the halogen bulb with nitrile gloves? Vinyl gloves?

Yes, absolutely. Any clean give would work.
