    For those of you that only like the three LED lights in you factory non-pro grille. It can be done with some modification to grille and grille shell. Ordered lights from Amazon and cut the sides off and used the trusty Dremel tool to cut out rectangular holes in top three notches. See

    Think you could squeeze 2 more to sides of those, or is it too tight? (serious question, not just a Ne3ds MoRE L1ghTs! post)

    Maybe, it would be very tight. But, I would look for smaller LED assembly, then yes, it would work.
    Just need to work around outer grille shield also.
    Good Luck

    I placed a dash switch to turn raptor lights on and off. But, I have forgotten to turn switch off many times, never ran battery down. this what I did just yesterday. Found wiring harness for DRL at front of other harnesses, the one what runs bottom LED’s below headlights. It’s the plug in harness with three wires. Pink,green and black. The pink and green wires trigger the Running LED’s depending on which mode you have your lights set at
    Problem was the green turns 12V on either DRL or running lights when turn on(memory going on me) I don’t remember which wire turns on at which setting. They apply 12V at different settings on your lighting controls. They are independent to each light setting. I tested with volt meter first before connecting to power to dash switch. Now my raptor lights are on in each lighting mode. No errors codes noted.
    All lights plus raptor lights working with all lighting modes on control arm. so, I wired pink and green wire to power wire at dash switch. I can choose to turn on or off raptor lights in any mode with dash switch. I can send pictures if needed. 2020 tacoma 4x4 sport also, no relay needed, not that much current (amps) draw.
    Hope this helps someone else.
