DIY: "Raptor" Style Lights

What wire of my DRL do I tap into??? I have everything else completed

 

Anyone running this set up on a 2nd gen pro grill?

 

I'm not 100% sure your wires are different then mine, my advice would be to use a light tester.

 

Do you guys think I should move my lights closer together or leave them spread out like this??

 

Looks good to me the way it is.

 

Agreed nice job

 

Used these from Amazon for my Raptor light mod. Love the way it came out, subtle but not overly bright.

 

Adio - can you show some pics how you mounted this to your pro grill? I have the same dilemma....been trying to figure out a clean way to do this. Shootz, mahalo bro.

Looks awesome ! i like it that way

 

I made a bracket. This is what I came up with. Kind of overkill but I wanted something stealthy and stock/clean to look at plus didn't have to drill onto to that Pro grille. There's only one slight trimming that I did(see below).

How each light is attached.



Final bracket. You can see the 2 vertical bracket from it that'll attach to 2 existing holes on the grille. If you look closely at the grille, you can see the notch that I trimmed(top, between the Y-O)

Painted it flat black. Installed the wiring with a connector.


Existing hole that's used to attach the vertical bracket. Left and right side of the grille.

 

Here's mine. It's an easy mod that really is unique and I love it

 

What lights did you use I have the same grille and I am thinking about doing this mod and also did you have to drill holes in the grille to get the lights to fit.

I just ordered 4 of them for my 2016 Taco, I should just be able to splice them into the Daytime Running Lights right?

 

Finally got around to this project. Lovin how it turned out

 

what if you wanted the raptor lights to turn on and off with the ignition? instead of splicing into the marker light wire, could you find an unused fuse slot and use a fuse tap instead?

 

Yea, or you could just tap into an existing fuse that is Ign. ready

 

For power off key i used an add a fuse in the brakelight fuse slot.

From another member on this thread :

When I wired mine originally I wired all 4 positive wires together and ran spliced them into the parking light wire, tied all 4 ground wires together and ran to the ground wire behind the battery. Make sure to get a good solder on all the connected wires. If you run them to the DTRL they will turn off when you turn the head lights on. I have sense rewired mine to the DTRL's with a 3amp rectifier diode in between the wires so they blink with the turn signals and flash when I lock/unlock the truck. I then tied them into the parking lights with another 3am diode to work when the head lights are on. I did the same thing on both sides so the two flash with the right side turn signal and two flash with the left side. It is more wiring but the end result was worth it to me.
