This video misses an important point. Fuses can be plugged in backwards. There is no polarity to a fuse. Add a fuse adaptors cannot be plugged in backwards if you want your new circuit to be fuse protected. You need to know which side of the fuse holder is powered. The no wire side of the adaptor needs to go to power. If you don't have a multimeter and know how to use it.............find someone who does. If not, you run a 50% chance of having no fuse protection on your new circuit. Do you really want to pay Toyota to work on your electrical system?
I purchased these lights but haven't installed them because I can't seem to get a straight answer from the Tacoma Lifestyle website so hopefully someone will see this and please help me out. The video shows the add a fuse plugged into the headlight fuse, which is a 10amp. My order came with two 20 amp fuses, do I plug both of the 20 amp fuses, which would essentially be 40 amps in place of the single 10 amp fuse, which is currently in the headlight slot, per the video, which is the same as what I have in my Tacoma.
Just ordered these and received them in horrid condition, including no instructions, cut wires, and no extra 15A fuse. This video explains almost everything that you need to know, aside from the fact that you need a 10A fuse for your headlights, AND a 15A fuse for the raptor lights installed into the add-a-fuse. Otherwise you get drive headlight, and no passenger.
What size fuses go into the add a fuse? I’ve heard conflicting sizes. Mine came with 2-5 amps but several videos mentioned 15 & 10 or 10 & 10. Just making sure I have the right ones. Great video
I ran in to the same problem and everyone’s using different shit so no help really. Mine came with a 5 but I removed it and put a 15 in ( per someone else’s video). But now I’m seeing videos of guys using the 5 fuse smh
Hey guys - just trying to clarify, these won’t fit with the 2022 OEM pro style grille (with the TSS square sensor below the tacoma lettering)? & if so, what’s the reasoning as to why they won’t fit?
I bought these to install on my 22 trd pro and they fit just fine! Not super tight but not loose at all and I don’t feel like they’d even come out without pushing them out from the back. We’ll see how they last.
So I’m not very good at electrical work, but I’ve seen people use different number fuses like in your case you took out one “10” fuse and put two of them back in but one was blue. What’s the blue one for? And does it matter what number I use?
I know this is months later, but I wired mine up to the fuse that turns them on as soon as I turn the truck on. You can install the add a fuse in a couple different places
@@bobeardington4044 I’m now trying to figure this out. I know where my DRL fuse is, but my problem is that as soon as I plug in it gets power even with the vehicle off.
They will work with the 14-19 trd Pro grille but on the newer ones toyota changed the grille design on the OEM trd Pro grille so sadly they wont mount to that grille properly.
Any ideas why mine aren’t working? Followed this video exactly and nothing. They don’t turn on with the headlights or when the truck is turned on. Ideally, I want them to turn on with headlights but not when the truck is just on. Have 1 10amp fuse in the add-a-fuse right now. Thanks for any help!
Does anybody know if these raptor lights are compatible with a 2023 TRD Pro stock grille?? I have DM’d, commented, and replied to the Tacoma Lifestyle instagram and they will not give me an answer 😩
They will not, these will only work with the TRD Pro Grille. You can buy the Raptor Lights in a bundle with our TRD Pro Grille if you click the bottom link in the description!
I’m in the same boat as you, just bought my 2020 TRD Off Road three days ago but I’m not sure I want to change out my grille just to have these raptor lights but they do look cool though.
@@BruceWayne-yy5dh I didn’t know that was a possibility as this is all new to me. I’ll look into it and if you know where I can purchase the bezels, let me know. Thanks!
The lights don’t fit worth a shit in the pro grill. Mine won’t snap in like yours do. Gonna end up damaging the grill trying to get them out. You guys will be giving me a refund
@@tacomacanada5740 I got them to work but I had to file down every side of the light to make the borders smaller. Kinda disappointed that tacoma world wouldn’t prorate the price due to the lack of spec but they work now so whatever. Just be aware, they will not snap in fresh from the box. At least mine wouldn’t.
Very clear instructions, the best on UA-cam !!!! actually waiting to buy the TRD Grill along with some other items from you guys !
It was great that you showcased the different color options mounted & lit! It helps to decide what color to buy👍💯

Which one did you end up buying
@@veronicaserrato9827 I still want to know too haha! I'm thinking original so its dope when parked, but maybe smoked is more modern?

Best wiring advice I’ve seen!
Finally!!! Some one showed how to thread the hot wire through the fuse box! I knew there had to be a better way! Thanks!!!
This man could be best instructors

can't wait for them be back in stock !

Anything in the works for the 2022 TRD Pro grills.....?
Why don’t u make a bracket for the oem honey comb grill?
Do they only turn on when the low beams are on or do they also turn on in the day when only running the DLR’s
Great question

Things are sweet! Really like the stripes you got on there as well 👍
Thank you! We sell those on our website as well 🤘🏼
Wish they sold lights for the standard grill
Do a search for lights with a chrome grill. That's how I got mine.
What is the name of the fuse location where you put the add a fuse? Is it the INJ?

Great video I needed to know that for the fuse box. Overpriced merchandise
My 2021 does not have a removable wire cluster. I just stuck the hot wire in the middle of the fuse box and the lid shuts fine.

Never mind the Tacoma, let's talk about that beautiful FJ45 LV at the end of the video.
Lights will be always on if wired this way ?
What color Toyota letters are thoes the quick sand or cement?
These are actually the classic silver
Do you have any shops that can install in los angeles?
Is there a way to have the Raptor lights come on with the fog light switch only?
Splice into the cable for your fog lights
What are the red yellow and orange stickers call above your grill ? I want a pair
Just for looks
Would have been cooler if u had them for the sport grill.
Where can I find something like this for my 2019 Toyota Tundra Trd Pro?
why are these not work with the OEM trd pro grill ?

Hi, I want to buy some rapper lights amber but I don’t know how I look if I would have a yellow fog lights with that looks kind of weird
my recommendation would be to just look around on instagram and find someone that has a similar set up to what you're looking to do
Why is it then when I try to use the add-a-fuse it powers while the vehicle is off?
Bro did you figure it out? Mines turns on even if the truck is off

@@jessedelcarmen5726 will that turn them on with headlights?
Which fuse slot should I plug into, thanks?
10a INJ
Did you plug in the fuse you removed into your add a fuse or leave it out? I’m doing this now and I can’t seem to get my lights to come on
Did you ever find out?
I have the BAMF grille, would these work, or do you have some for that grille, thanks a bunch

I got these for Christmas and when I installed them the 15 fuse for head lights has blown out twice. Could there be a reason why.
These dudes obviously don’t care to help or respond based on all the comments I’m reading….have you had any luck or figured out what was happening?
Boy that little gap is hard to thread
Is there a recommended fuse to tap into with the 2nd gen tacomas 2015?

Any answers for this one?

Yes it does.

You'll have to put it in the 10A (INJ) if you want them alway on
@@jadchebbani4716 What does the INJ fuse serve?
Do the light come in with added fuse adapter and ring ground connector?
Yes, it does! It’s a complete kit with everything needed for install.
Awsome thank u.. any discount code i want to buy both
Good call! And we don’t currently have any discounts running.
Thats the only thing😢

@@Jerlemi2 ok, thx for the reply. 👊 I watched UA-camr Mumfy install a set and seems to address the fit issue 👍
Just a follow up. One of my lights has already gone out. These lights need to be much cheaper for the quality you get.
