3rd GenTacoma Diode Dynamics Backlight Harness

I just purchased the Diode Dynamics SS3 with Backlights and i'm looking for a plug & play solution to hook them up. I have a 2023 SR5 with OEM Halogen Headlights. What are my options? Thank you!

Dave,
Thank you!! IF I knew that the SR5 was such a pain in the butt, I would of spent the extra $5G and got a TRD model. Last Question - Which lamp does the T-Harness plug into??

 

I am just here to defend the SR! .

But yeah, separating the turn from the DRL is a stupid amount of work…..

 

SR headlights have low beam, high beam, sidemarker and turn/drl. The last one is the only 3 way connector, the others are all 2 position / 2 wire bulbs.

 

Dave,
Thank you again!! I was hoping it was the TUrn/DRL. I had to remove my battery to get at the Drivers side Sidemarker bulb. Getting these harnesses on order today.

 

Sidemarkers are a little bit hidden but if you've already identified that, it's probably the most straightforward way to go and least expensive. Then the backlight is on with parking light only but I've heard it's difficult to see during the daytime anyway so just turn on parking lights if you want the backlight on?

Oh and true story, back when she still liked me a tiny little bit, my wife test drove a 2020 Tacoma (before I ended up buying my 2016) and picked SR5 DCLB in QS. I liked it a fair bit too, particularly the less-tiny 6' bed and I still love quicksand, but AT was just not something I could stomach. So I came very close to being an SR guy myself.

Ultimately my kids are close to outgrowing the rear seats so I'm befuzzled on what purpose my '16 serves, a hiace 7 passenger with good legroom would be a better choice at this stage.

 

Dave,
I Truly wanted a TRD PRO Just couldnt afford it. Im old school 4x4 so I thought the SR5 was the perfect spot. I bought a 2015 SR5 Tundra, and made it a TRD PRO clone. I thought I would be able to do the same here. I just didnt do enough research. Thank goodness there are guys like you and John to provide the necessary support!!

 

If you are that interested in tinkering then for sure get a Johnny harness, OEM led headlights and have him do an integrated feed for backlight and grille lights. That’s the platinum option.

 

And I wish I had a 2015 Tundra.

 

Room in the shop for a fourth truck?

In the last week or so, I have actually kind of developed a “deluxe” edition or sorts. Had three request for tapping the turns for mirrors or switchbacks, and the DRL/parking for grille lights (though that’s easy enough to convert to a backlight option, I might look at adding that to it). Not really sure of a price point, but I think it’s something I might offer on a built-order option. I didn’t charge anything for it so far, but I always do the first handful for no charge just to get some real world feedback and tune them in.

 

Yes, Johnny is on my list. I am hoping that the prices for the OEM head lights go down next year. I like what both you guys do!!! Please understand my backround is very simular to Dave's. I just dont know the Auto-mobile connectors, im a cannon plug type of guy!!! LOL but I still know my J-Std for crimping and wiring!!

 

I would like to thank you for the Quality harnesses you sent me!! Everything works are expected, thank you again for the help!! I will be adding raptor lights early next year. I will definitely reach out again!! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Holiday and a very happy, healthy and wealthly New year!!
