Welcome to all owners of Toyota Fortuner [continued]

[hdj80]

Here’s some pics of my new fortuner G with the KS LEDs in the projectors.

that adjustment is not good. you will get the fury of other drivers and pedestrians.

Whats funny is that what you see is the factory headlight adjustment. They intentionally made it higher than normal to compensate for the very weak throw of the stock halogen bulbs.

Already adjusted the aim a few degrees lower since its using LEDs.

parang masyadong mataas.
the low beam throw appears almost horizontal.
i lowered my innova's factory setting, as i found the low beam "too horizontal".
i also adjusted the left headlight to veer slightly to the right.

too much stray light, in my opinion.
is it possible, your headlight housing is not designed for LED?

Its a projector housing and not reflector so it should be fine. I checked cutoff at 25 ft and it seemed ok

let's wait for the results of actual road test.
...if the oncoming motorists are all blinking their hi beams at you.

Well 2 days already, so far no one has flashed me yet. Already adjusted it a few degrees lower than stock when i got home after install.

The stock beam height is too high right? Thats a weird thing with the new toyotas. Taas ng aim ng lights.

Yes. Lalo yung mga new innova's. Ang taas ng ilaw ng low beam [emoji23] Napipitikan ko tuloy ng hi beam. Mas maganda stock beam height ng previous gen ng innova. Madali pang i adjust.

mahirap na ba mag-adjust ng headlights ng new innova?

FYI and OT,
to those who replaced their older innovas' headlights with non-casa,
yes, the adjusting screws work. one just has to screw them a lot lot more, for the beams to move.
how lot more?
"if i were rolling a wooden dowel between my palms and not a screwdriver, i would have created fire."

What are the non-casa headlights? Like depo headlights or taiwan headlights?

yespo. sila na nga.
mahal kasi yung casa-sourced assemblies.
and when one considers the observation that these casa lenses would get cataracts in 5 or 7 years... faster if car owner regularly dips his turtlewax cloth onto it..
non-casa replacement headlight assemblies seem a good move. to me, at least.

I also find the depo crystal lights to have a better throw than the stock toyota ones honestly.

My 2011 hilux is already suffering the glaze[emoji3062] and no amount of headlight cleaner or sealant seems to be enough. It comes back after awhile.

But my mom’s innova lights are oddly still clear [emoji23] and its a 2007 innova too.

feel ko,
when car wax or polish or other inappropriate petroleum product gets onto the clear lenses, perhaps in an effort to clean them, degeneration of the clear plastic is hastened.
well-meaning but mis-guided folks.

OT.
when i was younger, i once tried to clean my model car's clear plastic windshield, with acetone.
nowadays, unless specifically mentioned, i have second thoughts for any chemical touching my headlights.

Hi sir hdj80, new to the forum and just got my new forty 2020 G variant. Just want to ask if your window/door/side mirror control switches all has light when headlights are on? Just noticed mine where the door lock/unlock and window lock buttons doesnt have the blue backlights but the rest has. TIA sir

Ganun b tlga forty natin may slight movement (slight lunge forward) pag mag park upon release ng break?

Backread about the sequence (full stop with break depressed > neutral > handbreak > park> release foot on break) and followed it but still the same, this is my first suv and always had a sedan and never had this experience
