    I finished up wiring my 7" LED light bars this evening, just got back from testing them out and they are indeed very bright!! Wasn't expecting much out of Ebay lights, but they seem well made. Time will tell how reliable they are. I went with the FJ Aux switch to keep the OEM look and the installation wasn't too painful, just wish it wasn't so expensive!

    The parts and prices for those that asked are below:

    - FJ Aux Switch, Amazon $44 - P/N:
    $58 PT297-35070-as Auxiliary Driving Light Switch
    PT297-35070-as
    - Switch Harness, Amazon $24 - P/N:
    $36 PT297-35070-sh Lamp Wire Harness
    PT297-35070-sh
    - 12' Lightbar wiring Harness, Amazon $11
    - 7" 36w LED lights, Ebay $35
    - Total $114

    If your thinking about using the FJ aux switch setup, attached is the cheat sheet.

    Nice looking truck! Now I know what mine would look like with a cap. I'll keep the parts list. Gonna do a hidden winch first, then try to crowd lights in along side of that.

    No noticeable difference between the shorty and the 1000' stock antenna. Reception seems to be just fine!

    I saw someone else do it on here. Thats where I got the idea. Super easy, no drilling, about 6'4" of hose, 3-4 zip ties, and a zip tie sticker mount.
