What I did was rewiring the dash, programming the headlights ecu, and put 2016+ Lexus safety system on my car because the headlights are a part of LSS system.

Yes, he did. But I had a job to drive an hour out to. Only so much time I can keep the car disassembled lol.

Wow, THAT is impressive! I will definitely not go the way setting up all LSS system for now..
Quick question: do you mind sharing how did you power the headlight computers (pins 12 and 13)? Other connections seem to be pretty straightforward on the Russian guy's (Andrew's) diagram.

Pin 13 wires to lowbeam positive (pin 8 on 2013 connector)
Pin 12 wires to lowbeam ground (pin 9 on 2013)
I hope that helps.

Your first picture is insane! lol. I wouldn't have the guts or the skill to do all of that. Impressive.

I've done some things to my car but Chungvatra you are on a whole other level of DIY, I'm not sure the Russians can top this. Are you a electrical engineer/computer engineer?

I am a software engineer but I didn’t know much about car stuff few months ago. I have been learning alot from your threads by the way. Thank you for sharing!

This was mine from way back in the day, the one peasodos referred to. What I learned from that exercise was that it's typically easier to replace an entire harness assembly than trying to make your own connections. But if you have the patience and another vehicle to get you by (I didn't), then of course you can retrofit practically anything. Congrats on your progress!

Default Wiring for triple beam


Hi, would you be able to explain step by step which wire goes to which number from the new headlight module to the cars headlight harness. The Russian guy's diagram is confusing and I have no idea that that bottom left piece is. My connector is exactly like the one on the bottom right. If you could draw it out out just send it through here that would be amazing.In much need of help right now.

Hi!
The connector you circled in bottom left corner is AFS ECU connector, located in left kick compartment in the cabin.
