    Hello Tacoma World folks,
    I did an install on my truck with these pro grille led amber lights, below will be a step by step install process. A lot of pictures will follow as well, feel free to hit me up with any questions. I will start off by saying this was a straight forward and simple install, outside of cutting the lid to the fuse box. I will get to that as I go though.
    ***Overall impression***
    Solid lights made to seamlessly flow with the pro grille or even the faux pro grille many people have. Add a fuse, wire harness, lights, mounts, and zip ties to clean everything up are included. For anyone looking for a super easy and clean setup with these type lights these are the way to go imho.
    Install guide:
    Install is fairly simple, just run the lights through the back of the grille, attach the washers and the nut onto the bolt/led from the back and hand tighten them as tight as you can get them with your hand only. You can use a wrench to tighten them down, but I personally would not recommend this, remember the grille is plastic and if over tightened you will break your grille. Once the grille part is done, it's time for the wiring, this may make some people cringe that don't mess with wiring, but there is really nothing to it with this kit. Run the wires as pictured (or however you desire) then attach the negative to the ground point as pictured. Next remove the fuse box cap and look for either EFI # 5 (not listed on my 2018 Trd Off Road) or INJ (this is the one I ended up using) when the ignition is fired up the lights will come on. You may also elect to use H-LP-LH 10 AMP, which will turn the lights on only when you turn your headlights on. Once you remove the factory 10 Amp fuse as you can install the add a fuse as pictured simple plug and play. Now for the worst part of the entire install imo, cutting the fuse box lid! Make sure to cut ONLY the lid, I used a box cutter and made the smallest cut possible to let the wire make it's way through without being possibly damaged (make sure to allow slack inside the fuse box so that the add a fuse does not get pulled to tight), then put the lid back on. Once that is done tuck all of your wires and zip tie them to points that make you feel comfortable.
    THAT IS IT! You are done from here. Enjoy a nice clean led amber look on the grille, I personally love them, link to their site is below!

    Thanks for sharing this. Nice, simple and clean.

    BTW the link to the website didn't work for me. Found the site. Just wanted to give you a chance to review the link.

    No problem, definitely worth it, they are surprisingly bright, and look awesome! Super easy to install as well.

    Installed in March 19. I never do automatic car washes- can’t with my roof rack and fly rod holder...

    These are not high quality. The lenses fell out of all 3 and 2 are super dimmed. Sent an email today to YotaLeds... hopefully they offer some help here.

    *update*
    I’m told I can buy new bulbs for $10 each. Which I’m sure will become a constant revolving purchase. Nope. In the garbage they go. Waste of money.

    Hi all. To anyone who has installed these LEDs, how have they held up, durability wise? Are they still going strong or has there been durability issues? Thinking of getting these.

    thanks all.
