    So this is my build thread... wanted to start one for a while.. I am no where near what some on you guys have done to your tacomas but I wanted to just document what I have done so far. I bought Aug 2011. It is a 2010 tacoma DCSB prerunner v6 Sr5 with 40k miles. I traded in my 2000 ford Ranger (which was a wonderful truck).

    what my truck looks like now

    you can have the on with high beam..lows.. and with the daytime lights... pretty much if ur truck is running u can turn the fogs on anytime no matter what lights you have on

    this is what mine looks like I used 18 gauge auto wire0707122038.jpg

    this is the connection and the CORRECT green wire to use 0707122039.jpg

    this is another pic of connection0707122039a.jpg

    I cut a notch out of the plastic barrier btw fuses and wires instead of drilling a hole to feed wire through seemed easier to me0707122040.jpg
