    Hello,

    New Taco owner. Right now my only mod is a Prinsu with LED light bar and an OEM light bar switch.

    I'd like to get the Raptor lights, and also swap out the OEM fogs with some amber fog lights.

    My questions are:

    - How can I hook up the raptor lights AND after-market fog lights to come on only when OEM switch (cali raised, etc) is depressed? I want them separate from the DRL on the light stem
    - should I purchase and install a Fuse panel to run these mod lights through?
    - I'm sure there are threads for this, but I can't really find what I'm looking for
    - is there a thread that explains what relays, fuse panels, etc, etc are? I'm an electronics newb. Only thing's I've ever installed on my own are a Pioneer CD player or two, and the light bar on this truck

    Thanks!

    Welcome. Aux fuse thread is here.

    It sounds like you'll need to disconnect the OEM fog light harness and wire in a separate switch with relay for your amber lights.

    Maybe ask Ken about this in the thread over here? :notsure: GL!

    Thanks! Lots to learn and both seem like good places to start!
