DIR harness (reverse camera)

I saw a video from Chloe Kuo showing how to install a DIR harness for reverse camera on a 3rd gen Tacoma. The link to buy harness is not popping up. Does anyone know how I can get my hands on a harness.

Dave shut down and is no longer building harnesses.
You could ask @Puppypunter though OP

This mod consists of a custom plug and play harness to disable the license plate lights when the vehicle is in reverse.
The purpose of the modification is to suppress glare on the backup camera and increase safety at night when reversing.

Design information and DIY thread is located here.

This harness is specific to a 3rd gen Tacoma for now. Harnesses for 2nd Gen Tacoma and 3rd gen Tundra are also available.

FAQ

 

Yeah I’d like to buy one too but it looks like I’ll have to make my own. Not a big deal to build if you have the parts. Anybody happen to know what the connectors are for the harness sides? Any weatherproof relay should work. I think they mounted them behind/beside the tail light housing.

 

I can make one for you if you need it. I can also get you the list of parts as well.

 

Thanks bud. Sent you a DM

 

EDIT 02/19/25: I no longer have the harness I mention below... It was sold the very first day I posted about it..

I have one that I never did find the time to install. I'm not sure that I ever even opened the box. If you are interested I can lookup what I paid for it. Where are you located?

Edit: I did cut the tape on the box to peek inside, but it doesn't appear that I ever removed the harness, Ty-Raps, or mounting hardware from the box.

 

I sent you a DM. I’m interested in your DIR mod harness if you’re interested in getting rid of it.

 

I have one as well if anyone is looking for one, had it installed for a while but relocated my camera to the top of my camper so I don't need it any more. PM me if someone is interested in buying it from me.
