Looks awesome and well done install. I fished my wire in where the harness comes in on the left so there's no pinched wire

I just installed them on my taco, thanks for the video! I have a question where should I connect them so that they stay on without turning on the head lights? I tried to conect them in the DRL but they stay on even if I turn off the Truck. Thanks you
Gracias por el video👍
Nice look, nice upload........you explained it well, and kept it simple..i recently bought a raptor style grill along with the four amber led lights for my 2021 Tacoma sr5 i think i could do this.........

When I plug in my fuse is it ok too use both 10 amp fuses because mine didn’t come with a 15 amp one
Great video.I have a 2022 Tacoma and want to put these on my truck..do the black housings that the lights snap into come with the lights and wiring harness?

Hey thanks for the comment. Yes they do come included
How can I stalled with the running lights that way I don’t have to turn on my headlights?
Do they actually add light to your vision at night? Or are they essentially just for looks? If they aid in lighting then white is better than orange??
How did you get your color match done?

Thanks for the video, I just installed my Raptor lights and they look great. The only thing is that the ground wire isn't long enough so I can't close the fuse box all the way.

I know this is an old video but you added a 10 fuse to the 15? Cause when I ordered mine it came with two 15s.

So, you bought the Raptor lights only on Amazon and the bezels from 3b on Etsy? Looks like Amazon offers a package of lights and bezels too. Thanks

My lights don't come on when my head lights are on auto also, is there another fuse that will bring the lights on when the engine is on, otherwise was a great how to video

The fuse you used for my 2020 TRD Sport made the lights stay on all the time. I hooked into the DLR fuse to ony come on when my Daylight running lights are on.

My raptor lights have been in for over 3 months. Check engine light came on yesterday. Dealership said was the add-a-circuit fuse tap. Guessing you have had NO issues with yours in the year since installed?
@WesleyAllenNC

Mine are still in, the only issue I’ve had was also the add a fuse being in a fuse slot that housed the fuel injectors or something like that. I had taken my truck into a shop (not Toyota) for an alignment and they had issues getting it started for the test drive. The dash basically said to take the vehicle to the nearest dealership. We looked under the goo and found the add a fuse was a tad loose. He suggested using a different fuse slot, something that wasn’t as important as the injectors, and it was fixed just like that.

Does it matter which plug goes into the light or use the same one that it's plugged into.

@@thorb72 Hey! SUPER late reply on my part, but it’s been hooked into the 10amp INJ fuse near the top. It’s always worked for me But just be careful to make sure it’s properly seated because I think it’s for your injectors. I had an issue with the truck not wanted to start once and the loose wiring from the add a fuse was the culprit
Followed your instructions to the letter - They are connected, as per your video - Do they stay ON? - Logic tells me they do, which is problematic, connected directly to the battery - What am I missing?

It does. Hasn’t pinched anything yet. Some have drilled a hole or ran the wire underneath the box where another bundle of wires is coming in, but it’s tight
Do you know if they voids any warranty with Toyota ???

My daughter took her 21 in because her headlight went out. Dealer told her because she had aftermarket lights that the headlight issue isn't under warranty. Took them out and went to a different dealer no problem. I had an issue with my DRL's not coming on in auto and I just made sure to take mine out before my service appt to avoid any issues like she had.
