    Need some guidance so I don't drop a lot of money unnecessarily. I have a stock, 2004 DC with the 3.4L engine, 2 WD, with rear diff lock, TRD, Pre Runner V6. I bought a tiny camper, and plan on doing some boondocking.

    Which leads to auxiliary lighting. I don't want an overhead light bar, I want something I can integrate into the OEM look of the truck. Since I will be in remote places, from time to time, I would like to know what others have done. Spot vs flood vs combo and fog, if possible. Photos would be great. Where you mounted and why, brand. How complex the wiring was, what do the switches look like inside the cab.

    Let's see what you've got!

    Oh, I do have a set of Rhino Vortex bars on the camper shell, and would be amenable to something up there, if it could be easily disconnected when not camping. My mpg is poor and I don't want to add to that.

    Also, I have the SR5 package, I don't know if that impacts wiring for lights.

    Not exactly stock looking... But here are some (about 2/3s) of our lights.

    We also have ditch lights, lightbar, fog lights, reverse (flood) lights and flood/strobe rear facing lights.
