Take off the SD card cover on the front of your navigation screen and see if there’s a micro SD card in there. Check the number on the card and then lmk in the comments what the number is and what is says. The OEM one usually looks like this: www.ebay.com/itm/294826479542 The aftermarket one I talk about looks like this: www.amazon.com/dp/B0C85W2X9K?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

It’s definitely worth getting!

@@how2foryoudiy thanks

It worked ❤ how do you get little icons off top when done?

Which “little icons”? Do you mean to go back to the home screen?

Nice, I’ll have to try that out. What kind of ceramic coating do you use?

@@how2foryoudiy Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray, which is my choice for the whole car, glass included.

@bettyboop3353 He’s 100% correct, anyone who likes to look after their car knows about this…

i did it it was super easy only i should have taken a pic before i started.

Nice. Plexus is the best stuff. So hard to find right now.

Nice! I’ll have to try that sometime.

Haven’t heard of that one but I’ll look into it.

@@how2foryoudiy in my younger not knowing what I’m doing days I’ve used cleaners and never had a problem. There’s auto detailer channel I follow that mentions to not use any cleaners just water. I suspect some cleaners might be a it harsh. But generally the instrument cluster at worse has some dust or maybe some spit marks from someone sneezing really hard haha.

So let me first say, they are aftermarket parts. That being said, they stay on all the time and there’s no way to adjust them with the headlights or be dimmed. I’m actually going to make another video soon about some issues I’ve been having with them. They work fine overall, but since they’re not OEM there’s little you as the consumer can do about it. Follow my channel for a more updated video on these soon. There could be another manufacturer that make these with to be dimmed or on & off with the car’s lights but I haven’t found one yet. Very few out there.

@@how2foryoudiy What issues are you having with them other than that they stay on all the time and can't be dimmed? I just bought these from Aliexpress and looking forward to installing them.

@@MrHighIntensity79 So for me, them staying on and not dimming isn’t really a problem. But if it is for you, I understand. For me, the problem is that within 2-3 months after I installed the parts, I noticed that the window lock up/down switch would not engage. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. This problem is still ongoing. The other problem is that when you push the auto up/down switch for any switch other than the drivers window, it would dim the aftermarket light for the handle that I also installed and coupled together. You can remedy this by slightly pulling up or down after the auto push of the window switch. This is also still ongoing and I think maybe the two parts just aren’t communicating with each other. The third and final one is that sometimes the auto up/down switch can be finicky when you press it, the window will either not go down all the way, up all the way, or it may go down and then quickly go back up. This one really upsets me and is still ongoing. To be honest, I’ve never really reached out to the manufacturer because I hear so many horror stories about how there’s no customer service for these kind of companies and imo it’s just cheap aftermarket Chinese junk. I’ll keep them on my car until let’s say maybe one day they do just end up failing. They still do their job, kinda, but they’re never gonna be a good solid, reliable part like an OEM made in Japan. It just never will. I hope this helps and hope this doesn’t happen for you. But if it does, please keep me posted on what you find and try to do with fixing it.

@@how2foryoudiy wow! Thanks for the info and being very descriptive. What company did you get the lights from? Was it AliExpress also?

@@MrHighIntensity79 No problem! Happy to help. The Amazon listing says its from a company called “Powerty”. The link is in the description but I can add it here again for ya. I can almost 1000% guarantee that even if the one I got has a different company name from the one you got, it’s all from the same factory in China. These things are usually mass produced together and then sold under different company names. www.amazon.com/dp/B0BMKZ3V89?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

Start by going to a mechanic that you trust and continuing to mark your parts so you know what has and hasn’t been changed.

I think it was just like this. You can get it at Home Depot - www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-5-Gallon-Natural-Paint-Bucket-05GHDXMX/314119192

They shouldn’t leak, but it’s a known problem in Toyota’s. It really only happens though when you have monsoon type rains where it’s raining super heavy and for long periods of time. Just keep the drains holes clear. It’s good practice.

Rule of deduction: since you put a new bulb on for the left brake and it’s still not turning on, next you need to check your fuse and make sure you haven’t blown a fuse. Start there, if it’s still happening then check your battery, and then alternator. Finally, check your wiring to the bulb. Make sure it’s not disconnected anywhere. I would also double check the working side (right side) just to see what exactly a working side looks like with the wiring so you can cross reference if anything looks off. My guess is that you’ve blown a fuse somewhere. Start there.

@@how2foryoudiy update, and it’s gonna make me sound dumb…the bulb needed to be turned around and it worked.

Should have marked your brake fluid with a paint pen

Yup, we don’t need those kinds of people, if you have a trust problem, do it yourself. That way when you mess up the job and bring it to us anyway, you’ll know it’s fixed when you leave😂

So he puts his name on all of the duds?😂

@seansomers2903 FATALITY!

@@seansomers2903 I suppose so , ps my Dad is called Sean too !!

@@seansomers2903 Maybe , he is called Sean too !

A lot of mechanics will say that they replaced your brake pads with the same ones, and even clean the old brake pads to make them look like new. It seems not necessary but it’s useful.

This would never happen in most places 😂

3mm of pad thickness vs 10mm is quite the difference.

@@how2foryoudiy Speaking as someone who does their own, doing that is more work than replacing them.

@@JeffRobertsFix alright troll. most people don’t know what to look for…

Like how long is process?

Ok took 15 mind to first cycle and total 18 mins from cold start to 2 cycles and no bubbles Coolant warm in plastic filler

@@rlacroix4 Yep, was gonna say about 30-45 mins for the job. Make sure engine is warmed up to get levels right and heat on.

It definitely is.

Just messing with you😂, thanks for the tutorial, ill be doing this next week.

@@ROGERDATTT Right on. With limited space if you’re using a jack w/ jackstands there’s not much working room under there so when you’re torquing to specs it can seem hard just to do the smallest adjustments.

yes…

They make specific jackstand /jacks all in one that allow you to place the jack at the right point and jack it up also. Have 4 of them and they work great.

@@melovemusic69 Can you post a link to those?

No. Use the oil that I mention in the video.

@@how2foryoudiy Can I use canola oil instead?

​@@val4803100k with seaman on my 2016 rav4..

Someone else recently commented on this. I would suggest if it’s not charging anymore get a replacement battery. You could have damaged the battery and or electronics. You have to be very delicate when doing this procedure. I would source Amazon or poke around ebay to see what options are out there for replacement parts. Maybe Philips has some good prices too on their website for OEM parts. For assembly, just follow this video. Sorry you’ve had so much hassle but you’ll get it figured out.

@@how2foryoudiy Thanks for the reply. The battery hasn’t been damaged as it charges with the bottom case cover off. The bottom case cover is not conducting the electricity from the charger base to the unit as it was scratched up a little during the process. I’ve ordered a new bottom case cover, hopefully that will resolve the issue. Have you ever found this before too?

@@yianz9 Great, hopefully that will fix it. Would like to hear an update on if it gets fixed or not after that. I have not heard or encountered this before but more knowledge about it will better inform the viewers.

True if you want to keep the old bulbs but shouldn’t affect the LEDs.

It should be totally fine doing it this way. Seen a lot of proof out there and from other mechanics saying this is ok to do. Just a drain and refill job 👍
