I used these diodes:

I used this wire (you can use any 16 gauge wire that you want but this is what I have. I'm always doing electrical stuff so I buy the big rolls):

$76 Install Bay PWBL16500 Primary Wire 16 Gauge - Blue (500 Feet)

Take a look at the install manual for the bed lights:

The way I wired mine, the dome light will activate the bed lights, the pin switch will activate the bed lights but the pin switch will not activate the dome lights inside. Here is a pic of the way I did it:

 

4 inch is plenty fine for 265s

 

By gosh by golly i may have new rims installed along with my 3 inch lift soon here then lol, new look here i come.

 

Thanks! That's exactly how I want mine to work. Figured I'd need some diodes to keep the pin switch from activating my interior lights.

 

I did the map lights on with the dome light mod. Now I actually see when I open the door at night.

I also mounted my UltraGauge in the sun glass pocket up in the overhead console. I wanted to put it somewhere out of sight.

Be safe! I may run for Naples in the morning

 

Happy National Taco Day!

 

The girlfriend and I took the truck to the rubicon today.

 

Isn't that how the DRL are set up? On my 2010, when I start the truck, the yellow lights in front come on - daytime running lights. When I turn on the lights, they go off. These are also the turn signals.

 

I had one on a previous truck, not a tacoma, and I loved it. I pushed the boat trailer around (made it very easy to get into the tight parking spot), put a shackle in it and all around far more universal than just a recovery hook.

Is that your home in background? Looks great! I grew up in a brick home...always wanted to own one. Got halfway there on our most recent home that is half brick and half aluminum.

 

I think he meant, like, did you rattle can paint them? Is it vinyl wrap? Are they ordered parts?
