These links are from my Amazon Affiliates and if you decide to purchase through the link they give me a small compensation. Its greatly appreciated and I Hope you enjoyed the video!!
Thank you. Dunno why everyone goes through the firewall. This is how it should be done like every other Toyota install
Yeah no need to go through the firewall. Less intrusive for sure. Keep it simple
Do these come in white?
I believe so yes. The link in the description can take you to Amazon where they are and within that you can probably see other ones in different colors
Thanks for the video, liked and subbed. I have a 2015 4Runner Limited. The grill is very similar to yours with the Toyota Rings emblem in the middle. I would have to install these on the lower row where you did judging by the shape of the triangular lights. The row right above where you put yours has more rounded left and right end shapes of the honeycombs and do not look like they would fit. I would get the amber if they offered a blacked out (smoked) version, but looks like blacked out is only offered in white LED. Did you consider installing a push off/on switch in your dash for if you wanted to have the raptor lights off while you are driving? I am considering that. Thanks!
What was the mod on the fuse box to get that wire to fit?
I just made a little tiny notch in the plastic to allow the wire to lay a little bit flatter. Nothing big to let moisture in but something to just let the wire not be so pinched
Thanks for the video!, I ordered them the same day I saw the video. Just like u said took about 30 minutes to knock It out. Had issues with one light not wanting to fit tightly in its place so I just swapped one out that was already installed and seemed to work. Thanks again.
That’s awesome to hear. I had the same issue. It’s weird. Like ones meant to fit in a certain spot or something. But I did the same thing. Played with switching them around and got them al in.
Thanks, glad to find your video to know these will work on my truck even though I don’t have the TRD pro
That’s awesome. Glad I could be of help
Will this kit fit a 2024 4Runner limited?
I’m not 100% sure. If it has the diamond shaped grill openings then possibly yes. But you can click the product link in the description and it will take you to the products and it should list out what it’s compatible with
Thanks.. I can put my lights Thanks to you
Your welcome. We love ours and haven’t had a single Problem with them. They work great.
Sr5 and trd offroad don't fit. They have different pattern grill on the top part
Good call. Yeah I see some of the other grills have a different lay out. This one is a 2016 SR5 4x4 model.
Just now seeing this video and trying to determine if my 4Runner, 2022 Limited, which has a grill and front same as this one in the video with the exception of the radar unit just under the Toyota emblem. As a new owner of 4Runner, I am trying to learn the different styles in the grills and what a TRD PRO looks like and what would one call my grill which seems to be very similar. I would install the raptors just as you are doing/did. The box for the lights says 2014 - 2019 so I wonder if anyone is reporting installation on a 22 Limited? And, what was the outcome of those installations? Thanks for a reply is you can.
My 4Runner is the mid/base level as far as exterior upgrades. It’s an SR5 4x4. It has everything before you jump up to the limited or pro models which start to have different grills and trims. If you grill is looking to be the same as mine then I’d put money on it that it will work. I don’t believe they made these diamonds shaped grills in different years different sizes. I think it either an SR5 grill or a PRO upgraded grill style. So I’d said you could probably install these raptor lights where I have them. And worst case you can return them full refund no questions asked with getting them through Amazon. That’s why I love getting stuff on Amazon when possible. No buyers remorse.
@@FortKnoxCo Thanks for the response and suggestion.
@@joeretired4552 your very welcome
I bought and installed these light. Was a breeze and look good. However, they randomly turn on when car is off. Do you know why that is? What is that fuse they piggy back on?
Yeah we love ours. Haven’t had that problem with randomly turning on. The fuse I piggy back off of is the ignition I believe. It’s powered as soon as you turn the key to the first position. It was just the one that was recommended by the manufacturer. Not sure why they would randomly turn on with your installation
@@FortKnoxCo yeah i thought that was weird. Turned on while car was off. Ill check again. Thanks for your quick reply?
@@bajaaddict no problem at all. I appreciate the comment and watch of the video. 🤙🏼
anyway they can be wired to DRL ?
If you know what you’re doing you could I’m guessing. They come with the connections on the end of the wires but if you wanted to cut and splice you could. At the end of the day they just need that + & - connection
Andy: Thank you so much for a great video. What size and brand of Rim and Tires do you have? They look amazing.
Your welcome. It’s RockTrix wheels 17” with a -12 offset. And the Falken wildpeak M/T 285/70r17. I have a video on my page going over the lift, tires and wheels specifically. You should check it out.
@@FortKnoxCo Thank you so much. I really appriciate it.
@@farhang0077 your welcome! 🤙🏼
Since you have an sr5 any idea if it fits a 2021 TRD pro premium? Also I’m going to watch your vid on the MT lift Eibach this is why I was told to do but AT Eibach instead of getting bilstein
I don’t think it works on the new pro grills but I’m not 100% on that. If it has that diamond shape pattern, then it might. But I think those pro grills have a whole different look. And the video about the lift is really good, I’ll show you exactly what you can expect from it, and what it looks like, and with your offset wheels, what you can expect as well.
@@FortKnoxCo thank you! I don’t do a lot of off roading more home to work and out of the year 3-4x go up the mountain and so light trails… so been deciding on bilstein or eibach… and the mt wildpeaks I will pass on that and do AT since I live in Cali Orange County lol
@@hanzohattorri2471 yeah we really like the Eibach kit. Feels way better than stock even with the beefy tires.
@@FortKnoxCo I’m sold! Thanks again
@@hanzohattorri2471 anytime!
I cannot get it to fit into the fuse box slot any advice? It is not snug at all
When I did it was really tight. I had to notch out a little bit of plastic so the lid would close back down and not compress the wire too much. I just kinda had to make it work as best as I could.
@@FortKnoxCo oh you know maybe I should rephrase I was able to do that but fitting the actual fuse inside the slot it would not go. It would simply fall out. I took out the 10 fuse by the 7.5 one but getting it back in was not possible.
@@ALOHAAKELI oh okay. Yeah I’m not sure if there’s a different fuse or adapter that will fit more secure. Not sure if there’s an adjustment to the place the fuse fits in so it has more grab. Like adjusting the contact points.
You can also use the number 10 fuse above the ignition slot but then your lights only work when your headlights ON
Were did you get your light
I have a link for them in the description of the video. It’ll take you right to them on Amazon.
Thanks for the info!
No problem! Thanks for checking it out
I have a 23 limited will these fit?
I’m not 100% sure with the ‘23 models. And I know the limited sometimes has a whole different grill style. I’d the Grill looks just like this one I’d say it will probably fit.
But you can click on the product link in the description, that will take you to Amazon and it should say what year range it will fit on the product description
Yes
Love it. Thanks!
Your welcome!
How do you reinstall the push plugs on the front cowl?
I’m not sure what push plugs and cowl your asking about. Are your referring to the plastic clips that hold the long plastic cover on between the grill and engine? If so you just push them back in and push down the center. That pops down and holds the panel.
@@FortKnoxCo GOT IT!!! Thanks!
@@randyperkinson91 awesome!!
How did you get red 10 fuse in it doesn’t go in
With the adapter/piggyback plug it came with. The original fuse went into the adapter and then I plugged in the adapter where the original fuse went.
Yes the original fuse from fuse didn’t work because of its design but you can use standard number 10 fuse from market and its work properly.
Thank you
Your very welcome
How much you lift that rig?
The total lift after tires, wheels and suspension was a full 3”. The suspension added about 2”. The new tires added the extra 1” after sitting on the ground.
@@FortKnoxCo Looks good, that is what I am thinking too, just want to make sure it will still fit in the garage! Thanks!
@@kylemc8851 it should definitely still fit. 🤙🏼🤙🏼
clean ass whip
Thank you!!
Hey man since you’re here, I recently got a 1999 3rd gen 4runner and was wondering if you knew what led headlights are supported. im new to this and don’t want to buy headlights and not be able to run them 😅
the led bulb
@@richardalcaraz1196 I’m not 100% on the Gen 3 Runners. Most the time I Google or Amazon it and make sure to put in there gen 3 or gen 5. Then read through it. They make it for sure, just gotta make sure it’s the right model Part.
@@FortKnoxCo alright cool thanks man. one day i’ll have i car like yours 😮💨😎
How come they don`t have it for highlander ? like 2021 or higher models??
Not sure why. Maybe there’s not much of a demand for the lights on those models? Maybe you could modify a led light kit to make it look the way you want.
Connecting to fuse box if you want them on only when your tail lights, or side marker lights are on.
Run the wire through the firewall. Theres a small rubber plug on the upper right driver side. Wrap the wires in electrical tape, push through the firewall. Fish them out above the parking brake, use the 10amp tail fuse. Follow the same process as engine compartment connection. I used a razor knife to cut out a small pattern to fit the piggyback back to allow the cover to be put back. Use the small bolt at the bottom to attach your ground. Literally took me 15 minutes including the disconnect from the engine comp. Fuse box.
They way I wired them in this video has them on 100% of the time, they turn on when the ignition is on. Day and night. Even before the engine is running, as soon as you turn the key it has them on.
Any battery drainage since the installation? I'm wondering if I should go through the trouble of installing a relay and switch so I can power the lights on/off as necessary. What'd you think?
I haven’t had any battery drainage. I believe with the fuse they have you piggy back off of it’s only active when the ignition is on.
These take up barely any energy. Of course there’s some but not a lot.
Thats not the right polarity
Not sure what your referring too. But the lights are still working strong to this day 🤙🏼 positive negative, hot & neutral… these lights are awesome.
