    I am looking to install raptor lights on my 2016 Tacoma but want to have control of when they are turned on/off. I already have the appropriate grill and the install appears to be simple.

    I saw threads with people adding an OEM switch or a piggy back fuse to the headlights fuse but I feel as though they would be utilized best with the DRL switch for me.

    Is the only option to splice into the wire for the DRL, is that an option? Or can I use a similar piggy back fuse? I don't want to add another switch in the cab just for these lights. Thanks for any advice.

    Hey,

    Just did this last night... BTW I have Type B light switch setup in the Tacoma Manual.

    I only tapped into the Pink line and this is how mine works when I set my light switch position:
    -DRL - only DRLs come on (no raptor lights)
    - Side Marke/Parking/Plate Light/ DRL ( all raptor lights come on with all the others)
    - Head lights (Raptors on, DRLs Dim a bit, and Head lights)
