I have a 2004 Camry LE model, and want to add the automatic headlights option from an XLE model. I know the light sensor for the top of the dash is available, and I have already swapped out the turn signal switch module to accommodate the fog lights I have already added. For the auto headlight sensor though, does anyone know if the harness and connector between the sensor and the ECM is a separate harness, or is it already existent with the dash wiring and if so, where is it hidden or located? The fog lights were easy - change the bumper cover to add the lights, the pigtail connectors for the lights were already there, add the relay to the ECM, and swap the turn signal switch to include the fog light switch. (The new turn signal switch has the 'Auto' setting, hence my interest in making it work.)
I'm hoping the harness and connector for the light sensor are tied off somewhere under the dash, or it's a separate independent sub-harness (only has three wires). If it's the latter, I need to find an XLE being parted out to snag the harness from; if anyone has any knowledge of XLE parts cars available with the harness I need, I'd appreciate it.
Does anyone have experience or knowledge of what I'm dealing with? TIA
I have the wiring info - see attached for some additional detail. Great question on the BCM - I have no idea if it's a different module for an XLE versus LE model, maybe there's a Toyota tech who has an idea? I'm hoping to get some direction before I have to start pulling the BCM and fuse box assembly out from under the dash to see what is or isn't there.
Toyota calls the "Body ECU" a "Body Control Module" for parts purposes and lists a part number.
Suggest going to an online Toyota parts dealer and entering your cars VIN to look for this part and part number. Then compare part number to a XLE based on inputting year/make/model/specific model (such as XLE).
Ebay tends to sell used car computers in mass thus might check there.
I simply wanted to know if there was a method to give my 2004 RR automatic headlights. Why LR doesn't include them on every variant is beyond me. My 1997 Jeep, for example, had motorized headlights. Anyway, I appreciate you looking into my query.
