2.5 Gen Tacoma Diode Dynamics Backlight

Hi Dave,
I have a 2.5 Gen Tacoma with Diode Dynamics SS3 Fog lights. I am looking to hook up the fog light backlight into the OEM Halogen headlight DRL without using the T-Taps that Diode Dynamics includes. Do you have a harness which I could use to do that? Thanks!

 

I think it’s pretty much the same deal as 3rd gen SR:

But you probably want to review the photos. Cheapest option is a sidemarker T which would only have backlight on with parking lights.

 

Hey Chadley. Same here. What did you end up using?

 

Thanks for the help! I just ordered the sidemarker T. Looking forward to installing it!

 

Planning on installing this week without the backlight for now. I'll add the backlight using the sidemarker T harness that dave suggested once it arrives.

 

Then I should order one. Dave how can I place my order

Thank you. Order has been placed. You made my day

 

Should I have ordered a pair?

 

I would've purchased the combined turn (DRL) and parking version for the lightstalk control.

 

Yes. But do I need 2, one for each side

 

The two options indicate what you can expect. The bare wire is a single side, the ss3 is a pair.

I will update the photo once I build your set.

 

Ok. I just want to be sure I have all that i need to install them. Please let me know if i need to order anything else. I just want to connect to the parking lights

 

This is all you need for backlight injection. You’ll also need power and ground for the fog itself which is typically from the OEM harness to the DD adapter harness.

 

If you are Sean then you ordered the bare wire not the SS3 version. Would you like me to cancel your order? If so please DM me your order number to confirm.

 

Hi @daveeasa

I had ordered this harness for my 2.5 gen assuming that the 3rd gen connectors would be the same: https://fbchs.square.site/product/t...namics-ss3-backlight-parking-light-harness/41
I tried installing it but the connectors aren't fitting. Are the connectors that you use on this one any different? https://fbchs.square.site/product/tacoma-2005-2015-sidemarker-t-harness/43

 

Sidemarker for 3rd gen is a different connector than the sidemarker for 2nd gen. That’s why I list the years in the title.

 

@daveeasa I see that your store says that it's closed indefinitely. Is there any way I could still order the harness or are you done producing them?

But I should check or someone else like @Puppypunter or @caribe makaira that I’m not confusing two similar connectors.

then a 1.5mm flathead and some small needlenose. Make sure to get polarity correct.
