Raptor light fuse help!

No, your Raptor lights will stay on all the time. The DRL fuse has power on all the time and the BCM (Body Control Module) controls a relay to apply power to the DRL. The other challenge, IF you tie into the DRL wires directly, this can be an issue too because there are (2) feeds for the DRL. 1 of them feeds the DRL during the daytime when there is no call for headlights via the dash sensor, and the other feeds them in the evening when the sensor calls for the headlights. I tied into the peach wire as suggested and this worked in the evening, BUT, if you want them on during the daytime they will not illuminate. So, I gave up, and tied them to the radio fuse under the dash vs. the hood so that ANYTIME the key is on they come on. Secondly, I was not comfortable connecting the Add a Fuse to any of the fuses for the ECM, Injectors, etc. due to the fact that if this cheap china made add a fuse fails, you end up off the side of the road. NO THANKS.

 

Well you can do it somehow because I have the drl harness from running 4 tacos and it only plugs into the drl harness and works perfect

 

So basically, on all the time except for when you purposely turn DRL off or when high beams kick on?

 

i guess another option could be to test the open fuse locations for power as needed and add a wire and contact. Does anyone know the contact needed? Im assuming its an Amp dual tang receptacle.

 

They are on when your DRL are on and off when your DRL are off, bit like I said I'm not sure on the wiring, I use the plug and play harness.

 

And your DRL don't turn off when your brights are on

 

Their harness may tie into both feeds for the DRL. I can’t comment on their harness. I assumed you were going to cut into it. There is a Peach, Green and White/black Stripe wire. The peach supplies power at night to the DRL and the Green powers the DRL at night. I have no idea why. Perhaps they are different brightness depending on day or night.

 

I found the open tabs were all constant power. Most the keyed fuses are found in the fuse bus under the drivers footwell

I'll be installing the dual battery remote inside th3 cab so might pull that wire through too

Finally got around to wiring these lights in. I used a small amount of RTV to help hold the Add a fuse from moving.

 

Hello all so I am looking into installing the infamous raptor lights on my tacoma who what where do I install the added fuse?

Thank you for your time

Anything for a 4banger??

Would it be the same process ??

 

4-banger is different for the add-a-fuse part of the install.

 

Would anyone else be able to help??

 

How did you do the tap?I tapped to the radio fuse with an add a fuse but it ran even with the truck off.

 

i just used a tap that was a keyed source. I believe it was the power port fuse. It’s keyed.
