    Hello, me and my dad are working on my truck and we got the tacovinyl DRL grille for a 2021 tacoma and the AJT designs TSS relocation bracket. The only video on youtube that shows how to wire the DRL onto the grille is for a 2016 and the wires are completely different on mine. I have the Red wire going into the passenger park blue, the white wire into the green wire, the black wire into the white and black wire, the blue wire into the light blue wire, and i have the yellow wire going into the driver side peach wire. Neither the DRL or the blinkers work on the grille. Any information of what wire goes where or anything would be very appreciated.

    You could've gotten a "T" harness for that, instead of the 3m taps.

    Add-a-fuse to INJ fuse for the RED wire.

    Johnny, OP could use the T for EB1 instead of the Mx150 type.

    That is a good option. Looking at the pic of tap-o-Rama, it looks like he is dominantly attached to the passenger side.
    I am guessing from this:
    That Red is the parking signal? It’s the red/black in the description that throws me off.

    Red is power.

    EB1 has all signals except the power, that would go to INJ circuit with add-a-fuse.

    So, theoretically, one could grab park and DRL, combine via a couple diodes, and have power controlled by the stalk?

    If you want to run a wire to cab. With the prior setup, it keeps everything in the engine bay and everything is "auto".

    I was just thinking grab them at the light that way. Like this, with diodes on Park and DRL

    EB1 keeps everything near, with the MX150 you'd run one turn signal wire from driver (or passenger's) side.
