    ^^^^ Wouldn't that make the grilles lights on when ever the engine is on? That would make it so that regardless of what position your steering column switch is set to, the Grille lights will always be on?

    I have a switch style B(OFF, DRL, Parking, Headlights). I want my Grille lights to be on during all positions except OFF.

    People with Taco garage grilles link to what you got? Please? And is there a way to turn on the lights with the “fog lights” what do I need?

    There's a connector on the inside of the bumperupload_2019-6-21_4-16-50.jpg

    Tap into the green (+) and join to red (+) of your grill lamps. White with Black stripe to the Black. They will be on & off with the Fogs.

    shortened the skirt up front thingy
    If you tap an add a fuse into the 7.5 amp fuse labelled tails the grille lights come on with your park lights. Can still shut them off with the wheel switch to off and just run DRL. Nice to have them attached to tails so you can run the park light without headlight.

    For those with Auto Light Control and LED DRL and Parking lights and who keep the stalk in AUTO:

    Just got my grille today from The Taco Garage , the packaging was perfect what a nice grille for the money . Thing was cherry with zero scratches . Back to what this thread is about just happen to try the raptor lights I got from Running 4 tacos , and all 4 I'm putting in seem like they are going to fit very nice and not be loose .

    I wired mine to the DRL and did not do any splicing , use quick splice connectors . Worked awesome , and easy .

    I might go that route, though I am not a big fan of the wire taps.

    I have a quick question and I'm sorry if it's been answered already, but if you connect the grill lights to the DRL will they turn off when turn your headlights on?

    Yes, you just run them and splice to the DRL. That's how most people wire them I they don't use the add a fuse option.
