    It does look good! You need to add 2 more lights in the fenders like the raptor has.

    looks good. How did you mount the outer ones right there? Isn't that where the grill mounts are. In the way? Or did you do it different. lemmme know.

    Pro tip.. when blurring out license plate don't forget the street signs in the background ;)

    20150516_200156.jpg Put some ambers in over the weekend and added a lil TRD badge to the front (that I'll probably paint white along with the Toyota emblem). Ambers are connected to DRL's so they blink with turn signals and on lock/unlock.

    Mine are on all the time, unless I have my switch set to the last option. My knob has three clicks.

    Came across this thread and thought it looked pretty cool. leds were pretty cheap so why not.
    tapped mine off of my aftermarket fogs so i could switch it on or off. I usually leave my fogs on all the time even during the day.

    These pictures are sweet! And just to clarify....what do you need to tap into for them to stay on when headlights are on as well? So they are on with DRLs and low beams

    For "on" wit highs only: Using a fuse tap in the main fuse box under the hood, tap into one of the highbeam circuits left or right. Then they will come on with the brights.
