    I am going to repaint mine.

    I went a step further and glued abs pieces in the center because I didn't like the gap that remained after I removed the Toyota emblem. I used Goop, and I am surprised how well it help up. I put 8K in miles on the grille include going off once a month. Nothing failed.

    Well.. the center light failed because of how I mounted it. The metal grate in the back cut into the ground wire. I just removed the center light. I think it looks better and now, it's not "Raptor inspired" anymore, which I felt was bunk.


    I wired the three Amber clearance lights to the amber side marker. I used the stock ground terminal as a ground.

    I liked how it came out, but I just ordered a $90 Pro knock-off.

    Nice that looks great man. Any chance you have photos of how the lights are mounted? Also, if you have a photo of where you tied into the stock drl wiring that would be amazing

    It was done in such a sloppy manner. I am actually embarrassed by it.

    The paint job was so bad that I am going to remove it and eventually repaint it. I am going to replace it with a TRD pro grille.

    How about this? When I receive the pro-grille, I will take some photos of the old grille and setup that I will post here.

    That would be great, thank you. I'm not at all understanding how to wire them up to the headlights

    Hey. Which emblem is that? That looks different than the FJ/Land Cruiser emblem.

    I'm not sure. I bought the same one on Amazon that every else did, but I got something that was different.
