    Can't say that I have, but I'm not really paying attention to it either. I park my TACO... kill the engine... get out and on my way to wherever I'm at. I never look back to see if everything is off... I just assume.

    The cig lighter/12v ports are only hot when the ignition is. Good source for something with a low draw like a couple of LEDs or a good trigger source for a relay for higher draw accessories

    This is exactly how I would do it if I wanted it on all the time. Otherwise trigger a relay to turn on with the lights.

    Hello guys, I hope this helps anyone in their journey in connecting their grille lights into their new or brand used Toyota Tacoma 2023 SR Prerunner 2.7L.

    using the add a fuse with this model will require you to use the headlight lamp. Attach the add a fuse to the 10a on the bottom right of the fuses labeled, “H-LP RH-LO”.

    Watch this video as well on how to run the wires through your battery.
