    So I bought a honey comb style grill and it came with 3 LED LIGHTS, it had a red and black wire. Obviously the black is ground but I can’t figure out where to connect the red wire. I’ve seen videos where they add a add-a-fuse and seen others where they splice it to the headlights. Would anyone happen to know where it might the red wire connect to. I have a 2007 tacoma . Thank you if anyone can help

    How big are LED lights.
    I can’t imagine them pulling a lot of amperage?
    Did it come with a relay? Most of those grill kits don’t.

    I suppose you could tap into the parking lamps.
    Or use an add-a-fuse at the tail lamp fuse.
    But that means running more wire.

    I would trigger a relay to power your grill lights from your headlights.
    If you prefer, you can utilize a switch to activate your grill lights.

    Lots of youtube vids on this.

    If the LEDS are the “raptor “ style just tap into the parking light circuit
