    Dave,
    Am new to this but have a 2023 Tacoma TRD off road with LED headlights. Looking to hookup Raptor lights. I think at this point I would like them on whenever lights are on, not to thrilled about adding add a fuse. When drl lights, parking lights, and headlights are on, I think I would like them on. Reading your thread it seems like i could just get the harness to connect in the driver's side. I do have the auto setting also. would much appreciate it if you could point me in the correct direction, and which harness to purchase. Thanks

    Yeah, for side it's just your preference on where it connects. Driver side has more room than Passenger so it's the most frequent choice.

    Hi Dave, got some Raptor light from CALIRAISED for my Taco TRD Pro 2023..so it has the Fuse tap in the fuse box etc etc. From time to time the Raptor lights are staying on so I have to start the truck and stop and relock...a Pain. So thinking about getting the following from you: https://fbchs.square.site/product/tacoma-2020-led-t-harness-with-grille-lights/8...Will it work for CALIRAISED using the connector or will I have to cut and splice the CALIRAIDED connector....and how about getting the Raptor LED to also work with Hightbeam ? Anything plug and play ? Finally last question, I'm also putting in the THE BRITE BOX ANYTIME...will it interfere ?

    Post a photo of the connector showing wire colors and I’ll let you know.

    led T grille light feed is on anytime stalk is not off so unaffected by high beam.

    That’s a different connector.

    Actually I have my answer....I need to splice and cut....the 4 LEDs have a connector each...going from 4 into a 4 to 1 octopus...at the other end there is 1 fuse box (RED) and a free black wire...I need to order a kit I guess.

    Yeah, that’s how my eBay lights come. The R4T stuff has a connector that is plug and play.

    Hey @daveeasa,

    I just purchased a grill with raptor lights but I do not have the harness. I’d like to use your T-Harness for the grille lights but I’m having trouble finding a plug and play harness without the LEDs

    Sorry ... I'm a newby and trying to confirm what I should be getting. I've a 2020 Sport and have had the raptor lights hooked up for a couple months now and they work fine. I recently had a OTT tune and the tech said I should look at another option for powering these rather than the typical add-a-fuse onto the INJ fuse port in the box. He's run into guys trucks not starting due to the a malfunction in the raptor lights tapped into the same circuit. I certainly don't want to run into this problem. He suggested moving it to the DRL fuse or the fog lamps however when I do this the raptor lights remain on when the truck is off so that doesn't appear to be possible. So, I'm hunting for the solution and your T-harness appears to be it??

    https://fbchs.square.site/product/tacoma-2020-led-t-harness-with-grille-lights/8

    Shall i just order this for the drivers side only and then pull the add-a-fuse? Does it come with any sort of "how to" or is this more searching on you tube?

    Thanks in advance!!!!

    Scott
