Thanks so much for the guide! Just installed mine. For anyone wondering how to make them static without running your headlights, run wire through your firewall and plug in to the 15 fuse for your ignition. Stay on all the time!
Have you ever had a problem with the raptor lights staying on once the truck is off? I’ve heard that is a problem with wiring it so that they stay on all the time. And would it drain the battery quite a bit to have them on all the time? If you can answer any of these questions it would be much appreciated!
Thanks for the tutorial!! Literally have had my raptor lights sitting in my tool box for over a year lol. Didn’t want to tap into my drls. I didn’t realize how easy it would be with the add a fuse! Thank you bro!!
Not necessarily. It's originally chrome if your trim level included that. On my wife's 2012 TRD Sport, it is body colored. On the aftermarket grille I got her (the Impulse Grille from Extreme Terrain) it comes unpainted black plastic. We had her surround painted to match the truck, like the original grille.
I have the same truck and same grill but wanted to know if you know a way to have it where the grill lights turn on with the ambers and not the headlights?
I couldn’t find anything online for it. Imma end up spray painting mine. If you don’t wanna do that, my best guess would be finding one at a scrapyard on a Tacoma. Since I couldn’t find anything about it online.
I know the add a fuse came in the kit but do you know if I can buy that alone. I have the same grille but it didn’t come with that or the o ring for the black wire
Literally the best video there is! Thanks

@@jakewebb9417 nope! If it’s ran to your ignition it’s only on when the ignition is activated, or remote started.
Do you have a video of you doing this. I’d love one do this with my ambers but feel like I’d mess this up real quick

@Andrew mine come on when my headlights come in. I would’ve rather spliced them in to my parking lights.
Yooo thank you very much I’ve been searching for weeks now I found your video it’s so easy
Do the raptor lights only turn on when the headlights are on? Will they turn on with just the parking lights on?
That trim piece around it is originally chrome. Where did you get a black one.
I’d love to know myself!
I had a guy paint mine for me to match my truck just fyi it’s hard to find them a lot of people end up getting them painted else where

Do they turn on with the DRL (Daytime Running Lights) or with the Headlights?
Where you get the black outer grill part
Does this take mini, micro, or micro2 fuses?
What fuses did you use in the addafuse?
Some use 5 amp,10 or 15 , depends on the raptor lights manufacture company instructions
Thanks very helpful 👍
So my raptor lights came with a 15 amp fuse on the add a fuse , and 10 amp fuse won’t go into it , what should I do
I have the same truck and same grill but wanted to know if you know a way to have it where the grill lights turn on with the ambers and not the headlights?
I believe you can tap into the wires that power the amber running lights and connect the wiring that way.
Why does the TRD pro grill ever come with a grill surround?
I have a quest the official grill on tscoma trd pro 2015 which one of these??? Please
Question, did you purchase the black OEM grill just to get the grill surround?
Where’d you get the black grill surround?

Well done, dude. Looks great. Ordering mine this Friday and using this as the guide. 🤙
How was your experience with ur new grill?
Do your amber lights turn on with the drl? Mine only come on with the headlights
are these lights hard to replace when they burn out?
I know the add a fuse came in the kit but do you know if I can buy that alone. I have the same grille but it didn’t come with that or the o ring for the black wire
Where did you order ,i cant find in amazon
Harbor frieght and auto zone have those clips
They have push tabs at lowes
Where did you get that LED kit from?
Dang I was good on everything until when you drilled the weather stripping. I dont know how you connected it
Can I wire it so it’s on with low beams and running lights?
Thanks 🙏 great help now day people charge too mucho for this kid of installation
We're I can buy the grill like your
What size o ring did you use to ground it ?
Have you had any problems with water getting into the fuse box since you didnt put it through the wire hole
I myself haven’t, when I did that
I plugged in my add-a-fuse in the correct spot but then one headlight turns off? I tried other 10 fuses and no luck. Any ideas?
Jason... what did you find out worked that fixed this problem?
For anyone else wondering, the add a fuse needs both the old 10a fuse and the new 15a fuse. This was the fix for me. Peace!
Great video man
Whats the name of the LED kit?
My grill did not come with a add a fuse connector, just the ends of the red and grounding wire. How do I wire it?
You can buy the add a fuse connector from your local auto parts store or online
Do i need to change the grill to install this lights?
No you don’t have to , you can install raptor lights on your stock grill .
What year is this Tacoma? Is it 2nd gen? Would this same process work on a 2005?
My bad; just read the description. Yes, 2nd gen.
💯
😁🇵🇷😀👍🙏
Ere you installing a 3rd.gen.trd pro grill on a 2nd.gen. Tacoma? That’s what I searched I found you
Those stupid fake raptor lights are so cringe 😬
