    Hi Dave, I am way overthinking this so I apologize in advance. I think what I am looking for is a driver and passenger side LED T harness (2020 TRD OR w/ stock LED headlights and fogs) and 2 12” DD plug and play harnesses. I’m a visual learner so it’s tough not seeing this explicitly spelled out in any of the other threads. Hopefully you can follow along:

    A: to headlight
    B: to OEM headlight harness
    C: T off with DRL, parking light, ground
    D: connects to C
    H: connects to E
    I: connects to L
    J: connects to fog light
    K: connects to OEM fog light harness

    where does this leave room for F and G to connect grille lights? Or would I be better off with a driver side LED T harness for the grille lights and a passenger side LED T harness with the 12” + 60” DD plug and play harness?

    Hopefully I haven’t lost my marbles… I genuinely appreciate your input!

    A is actually the OEM harness, B is headlight.

    The photo doesn't include a splitter, I can post that for you, it's 3 way AMP male to 3 way AMP female x 2 and would come with the DD ss3 harness.

    "would I be better off with a driver side LED T harness for the grille lights and a passenger side LED T harness with the 12” + 60” DD plug and play harness?"
    This is a matter of cost vs aesthetics. You only "need" (and none of this is a real need, but to accomplish the stated goals with harnesses from FBC) one LED T to get it done if you want the least expensive option. Two LED T's simply avoids a wire across the grille for SS3 backlights.

    The "?" is a waterproof cap if you ever want to disconnect and remove something and leave the LED T in place. Which isn't all that important in this setup but for folks with OEM LED conversion harnesses it's nice to be able to have the option for grille lights in the future or disabling something and keeping the headlights functional. You can also just remove the LED T and/or any splitters rather than capping them. I include it for completeness, because I like to have these things myself, but it does seem to confuse people a little bit.

    I could definitely use some cleanup on photos and item descriptions. I’m admittedly sloppy on that due to lack of time. It’s a good reminder to do that if I ever get caught up on filling orders.

    You are a legend, thank you so much for clarifying! I'm sure this thread will help someone else.

    I'll be adding to your list of orders tonight. I bought a brake light T harness from you last year when I bought my ARE camper shell secondhand. You make quality products, best of luck on getting caught up and happy holidays.
