The Lair

Thats the one.....thanks. So the lights themselves, can they be an underhood ground on the body or have to go to the battery?

 

You can ground them anywhere!

 

what @EatSleepTacos said and here is what I did

I wired my switch to dim with the rest of the dash lights. to do that, on the switch you then have a RED 2(+) wire and a BLACK(-). These are your illumination + and -. I wired them to the dimmer switch to the left of the steering wheel. Green with WHITE stripe is GROUND and solid GREEN is your positive. so RED2 to GREEN and BLACK to GREEN w/ WHITE STRIPE.

 

I would use this. If you want to verify, use a meter and hold one lead on green and one lead on red1. Using continuity on the meter, when the switch is on, you'll see continuity. When switch off, you will see no continuity. Black is generally always ground. To verify red2, touch the red2 to your battery and black to ground to watch the switch light up

 

Awesome info....we going in. Hopefully no pics of a truck fire to be posted later.

 

if it does catch on fire, don't call @08TRDOFFROAD cuz he hasn't been very successful in the past

 

Prius oil change.

While oil is draining and relatively warm outside, I got a chance to install this:

cleaning up my build thread a little bit hahaha meshing some posts together to free up some posts on the first page, so new comers who poke in have it all up front and don't need to sift thru pages of random talk lol

 

It's about time









Lol jk. I haven't seen your build thread yet

 

In for the random talk

 

Well I finally put my weight rack & bench together. My banner is flying high and the House of Grind has finally been built.

 

Anyone seen @ChadsPride anywhere around here? He seems to have gone missing

 

We have lights and no fires. Thanks to @Justanotherhemi for the switch and the rest of you guys for the wiring tips.

 

makes me want those retros lol those were the ebay one correct? you like them? re-use the amber bulb from oem? thos are ur DTRL? what do they look like when u rotate the knob one notch? do thos parking lights on the corner come on? are they the same bulb as oem? and then what do they look like at night with the head lights on? u put some kind of kit in it eh? I want to know EVERYTHING!!!! hahaha sorry, they just look really good and I might want to do that too cuz it will look nice with my homertaco grill and then we can be twinsies again!

EDIT: and your ditch lights look bad ass btw!

 

Nice work buddy! It was worth the 1 month wait to get your paws on that switch.

Truck looks sexy AF btw.

 

Yes. the ebay ones
Parking lights come on, yes
They use H1 bulbs which are included, I put in a 55w HID kit.
Awesome light output and straight cut off line.

I have switchbacks for the DTRL and a harness just havent put them in yet.

 

He is in vacation I think. On a boat? Somewhere, and no wifi

Stop talking about retros...

Link? Price?

Should have took retros instead of oem look... shame on me for being cheap

 

Sadly my wife pointed out that my passenger side triangle had fallen out of the grill. I am gutted. Think I am gonna go with a @HomerTaco grill just so I dont have to worry.

@fatfurious2 hook a brutha up with that coupon you are never gonna use..lol
