Rear Glass Release Button - Pic Heavy

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you'd just need longer wires... LOL

idlike to be able to unlock the window from the front...the install would be the same as what you have done here right ? except that the wires would go to the front??

Absolutely, I might actually do that as well and just splice into the wires I used with a couple of long runs to the front. Just as easy to do except for the extra panels that need to be pulled back.

cool thanks for the info and help...im actually looking forward to doing something that i hate...ELECTRICAL.....

If you can think of any other cool electrical mods that would be nice let me know. I will research and determine how feasible it is. Electrical is one thing I am comfortable with.

not me...i am an idiot on a stupid level when it comes to electrical...

nice work.....you want to wire up my hellas?

I got one for you... making my PIAAs stay on when I go to highbeams! I'm going to completely rewire them. I can't stand it deciding to turn them off on highbeam. Besides when people flash me their brights I want one more level of daylight to give them. Especially after I convert them to HID.

There has already been a write up about fog lights and high beam being wired together in the blue room. All you have to do is find the,difference between high and low beam wiring. If you want me to ring that in the diagrams I have let me know. I will mark it oa page and forward it to you.

we need you to be our electrical "how to" writer....thats what i say...anyone second the motion??

If there is a simple fix vs. a total require I want to know. My Tacoma was really simple to by-pass.

It should only need a splice into the power side for the brights and a ground to the vehicle. That way they would only get power when you turn you brights on and they would be protected by the vehicles circuits. Most likely the current breaker is enough.

I won't be able to really look into it till after this weekend. I am going to DC for an MLS soccer game.

I'll try that this weekend. I'm probably going to start you mod in this thread this weekend.

Here is a quick rundown:



C: arrow pointing to the blue wire is common. it goes to ground.

rlp: right lowbeam power: arrow points to this

llp: left lowbeam power: arrow points to this

r/l hp: right and left highbeam power: this has a box around them and you can follow these to the respective sides. these are the ones you would want to splice into to power your fogs and high beams at the same time. then run separate grounds to the chasis.

Hope this helps.

Ok for the rear door mod you want to give the instructions or point to them if they are on the blue room? I can't find them and I'm scared I'll break something I have the bolts out but that's as far as I want to go...

... nevermind. I'm also impatient! LOL

Here's the panel off!


button installed and the job is complete

Looks nice. Sorry, I am in DC for a soccer game so I just saw this. If you were asking about panel removal, the key is the popping action. You cannot pull on them because they will break. You have to give it a quick short jerk.

Yeah I got it. I broke the top of one but was still able to use it.

Honestly, popping those panels is one of those things that you have to do yourself before you really get it. Otherwise you never really know how hard you are supposed to pop them.

Paul where did you get your button/switch?

Radio Shack!

Thanks sir!

These are in the parts bin drawers.

I think I'm gonna wire mine to the front so I can be lazy and not even have to get out!

I did this MOD early on to my FJ as well.  I installed a switch on the door as well as up front.  But I ended up using them less often than I thought.  Great for when you sleep in the back and want to use the rear door to get out.  Pop the window and reach out and open the door.
