    I only ordered one of the RI SMR lights originally b/c they aren't too cheap at 117 +/- each. Now after installing it, I want the 2nd damn light and hate having to save up some cash for it lol
    Anyway, after digging around here to obtain some wiring info (http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/lighting/245651-model-year-aux-wiring.html) I went at it yesterday. I dremel'd the main opening and spray painted the cut sections of bumper. Overall an easy, smooth install.

    As linked above, I ran the power wire in to the kick panel. I grounded here:

    This wiring allows the light to come on w/ the oem reverse lights. I chose not to switch it b/c I doubt I'll need to use them on their own. If I do, I can always turn the aux power on and just stick it in reverse. All wires were spliced & soldered, fwiw.

    I'm happy with the product and its light output. But like I said, I just want to get a second one to even out the appearance :)
