    Hey guys,

    I have installed my after market TRD Pro Grille with raptor lights on my 2020 SR5, However I am looking for guidance on how to wire them without draining my battery. Here is my Tacoma now with the lights off (Pic 1). I have wired them to an add-a-fuse that is in my battery box, on the SR5's we don't have a fuse for DRL's so this was my understanding of the best way to wire them (Pic 2). Upon installing the Add-a-fuse, the lights will come on (Pic 3& 4 with lights on, sick), but will not turn off under any circumstances, surely draining my battery over time. If I look in my relay box I see I see I am also missing a relay for DRL's (Pic 5).

    Can I plug a relay into the DRL slot and resolve my issue? Or do I have more wiring ahead of me? Has anyone else dealt with this on a non-TRD pro? Thanks amigos.

    @Carsonogens, before you drill the cover, the main harness can be opened to run the add a fuse wire through the clip for a clean install
