    I have a combo blue/ red LED. It's a bit more work to wire up but possible. I did look for a combo ice blue but was not successful. Just finding ice blue was painful and considerably more expensive than regular blue.

    Will this work for an SR5? Would I be able to wire it in through the USB port?

    The USB port is 3-5v. You just need to source a 12v connection and tap into that.

    It is the "Option" on the last page.
    Yes, the LED will flash continuously with the security LED in the dash when the truck is locked.

    You do not have to but is a cool function.
    Also the 12v center console or dash cig lighter wire for constant power.

    I used an ECT pig tail accessory illumination harness. That only turns the light on when the dash lights turn on ~ the headlight stalk set to parking / headlights function.

    An added bonus if you connect the primary input to the accessory circuit is that the LED will softly light the cup holder area.
