    Great video,super awesome to know the dash is that easy to unhook and you don't even need to cut a hole in the dash but that the dummy spot is just a punch out hole, thanks Toyota for understanding people mod your vehicles.

    I believe if you hooked up that other white wire you would have the word "light bar" lit up when your headlights are on then the light bar symbol will light up when you engage the switch. So you would still be able to know if your light bar was on or off with that other wire hooked up. You would just be able to see the button in the dark.

    Just in case anybody out there runs into this issue... the LASFIT 10ft Wiring Harness I ordered a month ago from amazon has different color wires. The 3 wires from the relay are Red, Black and Yellow. I ordered the same switch as in the video. Here's how to connect to the updated colors: Black to black Yellow from the relay connects to the Green on the switch the Red from the relay connects to BOTH the red and the white on the switch Everything works flawlessly.

    for $15 people should get a relay hanger. You can use the two sockets for your bolts and it will hold 4 relays. You think you will only have one light bar or set of lights.. but trust me, it won't be the end of it. You'll want ditch lights or a backup light or rock lights. having the relay hanger is handy.

    Been binge watching your videos while I plan mods for my runner haha. Just ordered the body armor hi line and rough country light bar with your recommendation 🙌🏻 Also plan on getting the diode ss3 with Amber drl setting as fog lights, also with your recommendation haha. The rough country light bar I ordered has an amber drl setting, but I’d still love to use the oem style switch like you did in this video. would you have any advice on how I would wire that up so that the amber DRL runs like your diode ss3 did when they weren’t “on” ? Any help would be appreciated 🙏🏻

    @@VietHuynh You can purchased a Cali Raised OEM “dual function switch” that has “white/amber”. It’s just like the switch I used but it has two switches in one. Or you could use a “T-tap” connector to tap into the Raptor lights to trigger your amber light bar drl to come on with your raptor lights. I personally would go with the OEM dual switch though.

    Yes, unless you control power to the lights with a high current rated switch. Aircraft (mil spec) toggle switches are available rated to 20amps but they’re not anything like the inexpensive switches commonly sold at auto parts stores. The OEM style switches are usually rated at only 3amps since they only power the relay coil and tiny internal LED light.
