    Has anyone installed raptor lights on their 2020 Tacoma Off-road?

    I would like to keep the original grille but add raptor lights.

    this is the grille I’m referring to:

    This link should help you with that https://www.etsy.com/listing/792672398. The 3d printed bezels should fit the 2020 grill. You still need to buy the raptor lights separately though fyi.

    No problem! Yeah I have the same ones on my truck. They fit well. There is also a youtube video featuring the install of the bezels/lights. You can view that video here https://youtu.be/UPOu653MIng

    Side note - You might not want to ground the negative wire the way he did...if I remember correctly he just wrapped it around the ground haha

    Ok thanks for the heads up, did you buy the lights from Amazon he provides in the video?

    Yeah I did but I still had to buy the negative ring terminal (purchased at autozone) to ground the wire and I also purchased a 'low profile' 5 fuse amp(purchased off Amazon) to connect to the fuse box. The set does come with a 5 fuse amp but it gets in the way in where I wanted to placed the add-a-fuse.

    Saw your post in another thread that you used the INJ fuse to run your grille lights. Any issues that you have ran into.

    You have any suggestions when doing this?

    I was thinking of only having them on when the headlights came on. I’m still undecided we’ll see. I got my lights from Amazon today just waiting for my Etsy order now.

    There are a few options with the Add-A-Fuse

    INJ 10A: Raptor lights stay on when the engine is on, or when the truck is in accessory mode. The Raptor lights will not automatically turn back on for the automatic emissions system check thing
    EFI 10A: Raptor lights stay on when the engine is on, or when the truck is in accessory mode. The Raptor lights will automatically turn back on (and stay on?) after a 4-5 hour intermission for the emissions check. (Not good for the battery if they stay on)
    H-LP RH-LO 10A or H-LP LH-LO 10A: Raptor lights will turn on when the headlights are switch on.

    Raptor lights may not function correctly, or at all if you're connected to DRL or FOG fuses

    ** If your headlights turn off automatically, do your raptor lights also turn off automatically?
