    OK, so these ones aren't anything really fancy. They are a harness for hooking up VLED switchbacks on an SR/SR5 without using the wedge adaptors or the resistor tee. Nothing too fancy there, just trying to minimize the rats nest behind the headlights. What does make these unique though is the fact that you can plug the Diode Dynamics halos straight into them. The halos will then mirror what the DRL/Turn is doing. Solid white DRL, flashing amber turns. And then when the parking DRL is turned off because the headlights are on, they will dim down. Made these for @Mudrucker

    Need some help determining where to tap into the centre console for 12v input for my shift knob illumination in 2019+ Tacomas that have USB instead of the 12v accessory jack.

    Kmorgan3 has a few T harness options for in cab illumination. The closest one to the shifter would be off climate controls or 4x4 selector. He also has one for the cargo light rocker.

    Ah, he is on your thread already.

    12v for USB is not the same as illumination + and PWM - feeds. I don’t think there are any good options for dash illumination other than the door lock/window switches once you are outside of the dash itself.

    I would like a simple T tap solution for customers with certainty an option to purchase a T harness if they so choose. I know a T harness is a more elegant solution but I would like to keep it simple for customers.

    Simple creates complacency. You are introducing a high probability of wire severing with such thin gauge wire and vehicle movement, but as the song goes: "play at you're own risk."

    Just found this thread and wanted to drop in what’s I’ve mildly researched on TW (mostly by asking questions).

    I’d be really interested in a cornering light harness that triggers on blinkers. I’d like to install some focused LEDs that can light up side streets when turning at night. Night vision isn’t what it used to be and I’m only slightly embarrassed to admit it.

    I assume there might be two lengths; one to host lights near the grille, and one to host existing ditch lights. For the ditch lights, it might need to play nice with an existing power circuit.

    Also, on this one. I could do it with a delay relay. Nothing wrong with Caribes, it works beautifully I am sure. But if you want something fairly plug and play, I could do that. We could grab the turn from the rear, power from the battery. Make the lead as long as you'd like for where ever you want to mount them. Could be made to handle 5A each side, which should get you plenty of cornering light easy enough. Can do 10 amps too if you really wanted, but that just seems excessive even to me.

    Can this one do DRL? Didn't see that listed as an option.

    Wouldn't flash. Delay relay, not just a relay. Basically takes a timer, a relay, and the diodes an combines then in a neat, small package a little smaller than a micro relay. Can also be programmed to leave the curb lamp on for a specified time after turn signal is turned off too if you wanted.

    Close a ground circuit when the stalk is switched to DRL. Like the 13 pin one can. Like it does for all of the other functions listed. DRL is not listed, so I am not sure if it was oversite or incapability?

    So you'd make more expensive by adding a timed relay...

    Well it's not listed due to it not being a true on or off tap. The added circuit would be ON with the DRL but to turn it off all lights would be off also.
