Raptor Lights: amzn.to/39APFVt (Amber) amzn.to/3pS0biO (White) Thanks for watching!
Just finished installing my raptor lights! Thanks so much for the install video, super helpful. Also going to paint out my grill once the custom paint arrives=) Keep the mod videos coming!
That’s awesome! And thanks for the support. I’m always planning the next video 🎥 I hope your grill turns out good too
Thx for the video. I was able to install my lights with ease.
That’s awesome, and thanks!
Love the videos man! Just installed some raptor lights on my Tacoma
Thanks! I hope it helped out
Looks awesome and well done install. I fished my wire in where the harness comes in on the left so there's no pinched wire
Thanks, That’s a good idea. I considered doing the same, mines still doing the job!
great simple video. less than 10 min install.
Great video. Install looks super easy. Like your dog.
Hey thanks!
I installed a set I bought off eBay. Complete with bezels. They work great.
Do they still work?
@@mmaworldwides1129
Yes! They work perfectly. Have been installed for about 8 months and I use them frequently.
Looks awesome!!
Gracias por el video👍
Nice look, nice upload........you explained it well, and kept it simple..i recently bought a raptor style grill along with the four amber led lights for my 2021 Tacoma sr5 i think i could do this.........
Right on, yeah it's not all that complicated, just go slow and don't lose any of your pieces!
I just installed them on my taco, thanks for the video! I have a question where should I connect them so that they stay on without turning on the head lights? I tried to conect them in the DRL but they stay on even if I turn off the Truck. Thanks you
Amigo Muchas gracias ! 💯💯💯💯👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
Do they actually add light to your vision at night? Or are they essentially just for looks? If they aid in lighting then white is better than orange??
Great video.I have a 2022 Tacoma and want to put these on my truck..do the black housings that the lights snap into come with the lights and wiring harness?
Hey thanks for the comment. Yes they do come included
How can I stalled with the running lights that way I don’t have to turn on my headlights?
When I plug in my fuse is it ok too use both 10 amp fuses because mine didn’t come with a 15 amp one
How did you get your color match done?
Thanks for the video, I just installed my Raptor lights and they look great. The only thing is that the ground wire isn't long enough so I can't close the fuse box all the way.
Sorry for the delay. We’re you able to get this sorted out??
I know this is an old video but you added a 10 fuse to the 15? Cause when I ordered mine it came with two 15s.
Same question, even it says 15 in the instructions
The fuse you used for my 2020 TRD Sport made the lights stay on all the time. I hooked into the DLR fuse to ony come on when my Daylight running lights are on.
Yeah for sure, that will also work. I kinda liked mine being on all the time
When you installed the fuse in the DRL fuse, does it stay on for the options past DRL? Basically will it stay on as long as any forward light is on?
Yes mine come on for the day light running and headlights.
@@bigED1013 Awesome thank you. I did not want it to turn off if i went from my DRLs to the low beams. but still retain the ability to turn them off.
My lights don't come on when my head lights are on auto also, is there another fuse that will bring the lights on when the engine is on, otherwise was a great how to video

this will show you which fuse to connect to if you want them on all the time regardless if headlights are on or not :)
So, you bought the Raptor lights only on Amazon and the bezels from 3b on Etsy? Looks like Amazon offers a package of lights and bezels too. Thanks
At the time of filming they didn’t have the complete packages on Amazon. I should update my links to provide better options
where did u get ur grill frm
Where does the on off switch come into play? Do they run while lights or on auto?
I’ve got mine set to come on anytime the truck is on, so I don’t actually have a switch installed
My raptor lights have been in for over 3 months. Check engine light came on yesterday. Dealership said was the add-a-circuit fuse tap. Guessing you have had NO issues with yours in the year since installed?
Mine are still in, the only issue I’ve had was also the add a fuse being in a fuse slot that housed the fuel injectors or something like that. I had taken my truck into a shop (not Toyota) for an alignment and they had issues getting it started for the test drive. The dash basically said to take the vehicle to the nearest dealership. We looked under the goo and found the add a fuse was a tad loose. He suggested using a different fuse slot, something that wasn’t as important as the injectors, and it was fixed just like that.
@@WesleyAllenNC Thanks for your reply. I noticed that in one add-a-fuse the unit was a low profile but not the mini, thus I may have shared your issue, as mine in the INJ fuse slot. May I ask which slot you used? Have fun!
@@FergieNCC2475 unless I just got lazy and didn’t change it, it on the 10A INJ right next to the large 120A J/B-ALT
Hey I bought some raptor lights and light up letter for the grill. Could I connect the raptor lights to 10A RHLO and the letters to the 10A LHLO so they can turn on with headlights?
Sorry the for the delayed response.. I’m not 100% sure and would need to monkey around with mine to say for certain. We’re you able to find a solution that worked?
@@WesleyAllenNC no I didn’t I decided to just have the light up TOYOTA letters. But I appreciate you for responding :D Btw nice taco!

Question do you take your grille to get painted at body shop
No, I made a separate video on painting it with spray paint. Still holding up great!
Does it matter which plug goes into the light or use the same one that it's plugged into.
Sorry, I’m not sure that I understand your question. Each raptor light plugs into the harness, then you’ll connect ground and power
@@WesleyAllenNC does it matter which light plugs into the harness
Where did you purchase the white grill?
I painted the OEM grill in a separate video. I don’t have the link handy at the moment but it’s on my page
I have to have them my headlights on is that how yours are?
Mine are on all the time now. I added them to a different fuse slot later on. Will have to double check which one it is
Can you identify which fuse slot you used for having them on all the time?
@@thorb72 Hey! SUPER late reply on my part, but it’s been hooked into the 10amp INJ fuse near the top. It’s always worked for me
But just be careful to make sure it’s properly seated because I think it’s for your injectors. I had an issue with the truck not wanted to start once and the loose wiring from the add a fuse was the culprit
For some reason mine stay on ? What could be the issue
Mine also stay one (at least while the truck is on)
Followed your instructions to the letter - They are connected, as per your video - Do they stay ON? - Logic tells me they do, which is problematic, connected directly to the battery - What am I missing?
Figured it out - I did not have it in the same fuse slot - Your location worked
Hey I'm glad it worked out for you!
Mine don’t turn on when the truck lights are on auto

this video shows you which fuse to plug into if you want them on all the time :)
Do you know if they voids any warranty with Toyota ???
I can’t say for sure, but I also can’t imagine that it would. (It’s also very easy to remove if you were worried about it)
My daughter took her 21 in because her headlight went out. Dealer told her because she had aftermarket lights that the headlight issue isn't under warranty. Took them out and went to a different dealer no problem. I had an issue with my DRL's not coming on in auto and I just made sure to take mine out before my service appt to avoid any issues like she had.
I didn't think you needed to remove this specific grille to install.
Your right, no need to remove the grill. I just did in the video to show how the clips work.
@@WesleyAllenNC gotcha! I'm contemplating the Taco Vinyl one's with the bezel that fills in the whole slot.
Does the fuse box lid still close completely with the wire like that?
It does. Hasn’t pinched anything yet. Some have drilled a hole or ran the wire underneath the box where another bundle of wires is coming in, but it’s tight
Ur gas cord isn’t going to break the gas cap weighs less than a pound bud
Right. Yeah it’s mean more to keep your cap from running on the paint. (I also never use it lol.)
