    I bought a 2022 Tacoma SR and the factory 10 year 125K extended warranty (I got a really good deal I think on the warranty). I would like to put in some nice fog lights, LED light bar, and maybe ditch lights.

    I believe I am using the correct term - circuit control box - for the small box you install under the hood with the fuses and screw connectors for the wires coming from the lights, the box itself is then wired to the battery terminals. Please let me know if this is not the correct term.

    Assuming I am using the term correctly, is a Circuit Control Box (like in the AUXBEAM or Cali Raised) the most reliable way to install these added lights?

    Also, It would seem that installing one of these and hooking it to the battery would be less likely to void the extended warranty. Since it is really only connected to the battery vs. tapping into fuses. It seems like the AUXBEAM or Cali Raised kits keep these accessories almost independent of the remainder of the trucks circuits since the Circuit Control box is direct to the battery. So to me using a circuit control box would be less likely to void the extended warranty?

    Does someone make a quality circuit control box with 4 circuits and 4 switches? I don't seem me ever needing 8 circuits and the resulting bigger switch unit for the cab.

    Does someone make a mounting plate for the Tacoma 3rd Gen that using existing bolts/holes to hold a quality circuit control box without modifying the mounting plate or putting more holes under the hood?

    Any recommendations would be helpful.
