    Need help. New to the Tacoma world and just installed an LED light strip behind the grill to act as running lights while the truck is on. I wired it to the IG2 fuse thinking that was ignition but it’s not. It stayed constantly on.

    What fuse can I use that will send power only when the truck is on?

    If you don't mind having them turn at when the vehicle does a system check after a few hours off, use the INJ fuse.

    or do this:

    3rd Gen Grill Lamps to IGN ON & OFF and Blink with Unlock/Lock
