Dummy switches on my TRD Sport required that I remove the entire switch panel and use a small screw driver to push in the tabs. Basically have to remove the main panel like he showed, take a pic of the connectors, disconnect all of them and push the smaller switch panel out. It’s one more step, but not difficult. Switch panel will pop back in.
Cali raised doesn't have any install instructions so this was 💯 more helpful than theirs. I was installing the ditch pods and just winged it. Glad I was on track.
I used same switches on my 2022, building out 2024 now. Do you have a video out for getting wire bundle down to firewall to enter engine bay? 2022 had wires enter roof via drilled hole above driver and front passenger door. Then down interior A pillar I believe. I saw wire bundle enter engine through firewall on each side. Want to do myself this time
Hey Jon-Love all your videos and the information you put out, super helpful! Question for you: Looking at putting a light bar on my roof rack that has the dual amber/white lights. Have you found a switch that offers the dual function that fits for the newer tundra?
Been following most of your videos - have you done anything similar for Hybrid Models given that battery is under the seat. I like the idea of having the factory light switch locations, just looking for a more straight forward wiring. Keep up great work. Just picked up my 2023 - 1794 Hybrid TRD that i've been waiting since April 2022 on.
@@TRDJon There's a fuse that is unused in my hybrid platinum that is connected to the ignition that I used. Didn't enjoy drilling into the housing of the fuse box but if you drill it on a downward angle it reduces the possibility of moisture getting into the fuse box. The fuse location is in the passenger side fuse box between "ENG-IGR No.1" and "TOWING-TGR". Using an "Add a circuit fuse tap" you now have a fused, ignition switched, power source.
Good video. But, I'd like to see the wire connection for the OEM Light Bar Switch. I have a 2024 Tundra CrewMax Hybrid which is different routing of the wiring for power which I found much easier. However, I didn't have the OEM switch until later. If you like, I can show you how I installed the power in my Hybrid style but the light OEM switch is a little different for the wiring.
The cali raised switches got be grounded to the truck some how they do. See a bolt in the switch panel is that the ground? I'm installing a diode dynamics ss5 ceosslink and that harnesses has no ground wires
I looked at the Orem switch on the website and it appears to be just the switch with no wires to hook up to the harness for the light bar. I’m so frustrated right now.
Hey Jon, can you help me. I bought a Cali Raise ditch light switch and it came with Black, Red, Yellow, White and Green. The ditch light switch has Black Red and Yellow. I can not figure out how wire it to the Cali Raise switch to get it working like your. Thanks in advance.
Did you figure out a way to wire the Cali raised switch to the factory harness to illuminate and dim with all the other switches, or just wire both reds together to only illuminate when the light bar is on? Just wondering if it was wired in to see in the dark of the cab
If you take a look at the oem switch wiring, you will notice they all have a tan or yellow color wire in the first (Or last, depending on how you look at it) position. This is your illumination wire. Simply tap into that from a neighboring switch and your aftermarket switch will now be backlit. I dont see why you wouldnt want to wire it up if youre already there and it will help you find it in the dark.
I appreciate all the input. I noticed all the blanks are still factory wired and the blank slot I'm going to use has the wiring for the tow mirror extender. I'm going to see if it powers up when the lights are on and if so, I think I'll try to tap into that to get the factory look/feel without that TRD PRO price tag.
@eddiefromcali hey, do you have a link to the wire diagram for this? Curious how you confirmed the tan wire is the illumination lead. Or was it from experience?
I was able to wire this switch to my light bar perfectly fine. But I have one concerning problem. While the light bar itself turns on and off no problem, the light bar icon on the switch will not. Should I be worried? Both the power and ground are connected fine. Im worried it will drain the battery. Its also annoying that every other button light is off in the car besides this one. Any help would be much appreciated
So just a heads up to anyone that wants to do this. If the only space you have available is where the adjustable headlight switch is on the left bottom row… this switch won’t fit.

Weird. I was able to just push it out. With pressure but still good. Thanks for sharing!
Do you have a video of you wiring the oem switch
Cali raised doesn't have any install instructions so this was 💯 more helpful than theirs. I was installing the ditch pods and just winged it. Glad I was on track.
FYI you could probably use those self adhesive zip tie mounts to hold up the wires
Thanks!
Great job on the video Jon! Thanks for making it.
Glad you liked it!

Your videos are awesome!! Thank you!! Going to be a sad day when you move on to another vehicle!!
Glad you like them!

Cali Raised LED sells one I believe for it. I think it came with the dual light bar I got.
Awesome, thank you!
Where do i go if i have the battery in the trunk? I have a sequoia.

I haven't. I'm not sure if there is a spot under the hood for that to make it easier.

light bar is no longer on the Yota site...what gives??? they have just 3-4 lights?

But how do you wire the switch? Cali raised instructions are vague at best.
Switch Green -> Harness Blue,
Switch Red -> Harness White,
Switch White -> Harness Black.
W/ Heretic 20" lightbar and harness
I looked at the Orem switch on the website and it appears to be just the switch with no wires to hook up to the harness for the light bar. I’m so frustrated right now.
Hey Jon, what color to color did you connect to from the light bar to the 5 wires on the switch? Did you leave the yellow taped off as a spare?
Switch Green -> Harness Blue,
Switch Red -> Harness White,
Switch White -> Harness Black.
aww man, I wanted to see the wire nuts!
Big Up! Thanks for this.
Where you order the light bar with the switch
Where can I purchase the harness
Hey Jon, can you help me. I bought a Cali Raise ditch light switch and it came with Black, Red, Yellow, White and Green. The ditch light switch has Black Red and Yellow. I can not figure out how wire it to the Cali Raise switch to get it working like your. Thanks in advance.
Which brand lights? Did you figure it out? I just got same switch but got lasfit ditch lights- I’m clueless as well
Where did you buy the oem switch? Thanks
Cali Raised LED. My code TRDJON5 will save you some $$
Did you figure out a way to wire the Cali raised switch to the factory harness to illuminate and dim with all the other switches, or just wire both reds together to only illuminate when the light bar is on?
Just wondering if it was wired in to see in the dark of the cab
I mentioned that I did not. I didn’t wanna tap into factory harnesses.
You can take the yellow wire and tap it into a yellow factory wire and it backlights it.

Simply tap into that from a neighboring switch and your aftermarket switch will now be backlit.

I had that same issue at one point. This was so lopng ago I honestly can't remember what I did.
@@TRDJon I feel like i just shouldve kept the original switch on the wiring harness
@@TRDJon If you ever remember, please reach out
Looks so easy
Thanks very helpful to see it done.
No problem 👍
There is a black “panel” along back of engine bay. Can run it behind that.
Panel? Not sure I saw that one.
I thought u we’re gonna use those 2 dumby switches for the tow mirror swap In the tundra ? cause that’s the original spot for them
I don’t have the tow mirrors yet 👍🏼

AFE
Brake fluid* lol
No he said windshield wiper fluid 😊
