    So I'm looking to install the OEM TRD pro grille on my SR5 Tacoma, Im doing raptor lights too and I was gonna do the generic add a fuse, fuse tap into INJ fuse however I've encountered a problem. I have the morimoto headlights the XB EVO's, they are already tapped into the INJ fuse for DRL's. I wanted to know if there's another fuse to use? I debated EFI but know then they may turn on due to a power cycling known to go with said fuse. Wanted any input from anyone who may be more proficient in auto electrics and which fuse would act the same as DRL, power wise, on all the time without headlights but also turns off with the truck. I also am avoiding splicing the DRL wire and connecting them to that as that's not ideal but will consider if no other options seems reasonable.

    Can you tap the parking light fuse?

    I would install a small relay and activate it off the accessory power signal. That way you can put as many lights as your little heart desires on that truck. But if you are just running the raptor lights and DRL's, you would be just fine splicing both the aftermarket lights in with the INJ fuse tap.
