    Thinking about wiring up some raptor lights to my grille but all I can find for them are ones for 3rd gen Tacoma’s and fords with weird female connectors along with them. Wondering is anyone is running some raptor lights and has a way they do it and remembers which ones they bought? Looking for something that’s like 20$ and I only really want 3 of them. Any help is appreciated especially if you have any suggestions for wiring them up as well. Want them to sorta act as a sort of DRL as well.

    Previous owner put some in the grille, which I’m eventually going to replace.

    I can take pics if you want but I seem to remember it being a weird hollow bolt coming off the back of the light that had the wiring running though it.

    It’s currently just tapped into the parking/marker light so when ever those are on, the raptor lights are on.

    4 run, 2 don't
    You're not going to find any because the Raptor came out after 1st gen Tacomas were even out.

    At that point its just a set of LEDs everyone runs.

    Don't do it!

    If you do though, may as well make a custom grill :thumbsup:
