The blue wire is the one you tapped for your truck is this the correct wire for my 13?

 

Should be. I tapped in the a pillar. More room to work in there.

 

Agreed, this is my project this weekend along with a few other things. thank you for the info.

 

I did this the other day and it took me a full day to just figure out the wiring. Toyota wiring seems to be off a little from what I have done with other trucks in the past. Theres a blue and yellow wire in the pillar I used. One has constant power and the other gets power when the doors are open or something like that. It was the biggest pain in the ass to figure out because it didn't make any sense. I might have a picture on my phone if you need one still.

 

Good stuff!

 

I have a 15 also

 

I'll just have to play around with it this weekend and try again

 

Thats the one in the pillar on my 17. I'm pretty sure the black goes into the always positive and the red goes into the "negative" or whatever you want to call it. To me its half backwards but I'm not an expert or know their reasoning to having it this way. I just used two quick splices and ran the wires down to a little 6 way switch made for leds. have the front and rear ran on it now, and tomorrow I'm going to hook up some puddle lights with it if i can figure out a way to get the wires inside nicely.

 

@Blais03 hmmmmm

 

I have those already lol check my build

 

Still sounds like you tapping the incorrect wire. Take a pic and post it.

 

I used the door pin switch wire on each side to tap into for ground and the a pillar wire for power. This makes each door have their own light.

 

Does everything light up with the key fob?

 

I have a base so i dont have a key fob. But no, only when the door opens. driver door gets driver light pass door get pass light

 

Ill help you put some in your truck if you want lol theyre easy and super useful if you use your truck at night

 

Probably only cost you like $20 too man. We put them in @LivinLoud 's truck too

 

We'll talk soon. I have some other things that we may be able to do.

 

Just let me know, Id love to help.
