You have to replace the blanks with functioning switches. If your truck didn't come prewired with the Aux switches, you will need to use 3rd party switches or some sort of controller.

Are talking about the factory installed Aux 1-3 switches? You should have had harnesses included with the truck to wire those up. There is a connection under the hood. Aux 1 is 15A, Aux 2 is 10A, and Aux 3 is 5A. Use them to trigger relays if necessary.
Yea that’s what I want to do. Question is how? Lol. Can’t find a video that shows how to do this.
I have an SR5 so I do not have any auxiliary switches. So how would I go about replacing the blank switches with auxiliary switches and then wiring something to it?

Contact the folks at Cali Raised LED. They have kits to add switches, along with a nice install video.
You'll need something like this Cali Raised Switch or a switch controller.Yea that’s what I want to do. Question is how? Lol. Can’t find a video that shows how to do this.

I plan to buy the trd pro grill kit from rave off-road and they provide a switch along with the grill and light. But I heard they provide zero instruction for wiring lol
I was planning on purchasing the rave off-road Trd pro grill kit with light bar. They provide a switch that would fit in one of these blank switches on my dash. The problem is the reviews say they don’t provide wiring instructions. Gonna email them and ask about instructions.

It's all very easy, the only difficult part of the installation is getting the wires through the engine firewall and into the cabin. When you're ready to run the wires through the firewall, cut off the nipple for the firewall, or poke a small hole in it, use electrical tape to secure the wires to a straightened wire coat hanger, and fish it into the cabin. From there, it's plug and play.
To remove switch blanks, you just need to press the tabs on the back of the blank and push it forward to remove from the panel.
If you end up going with the marker lights, I think wiring them to AUX3 instead of using a fuse tap is your best bet, for the reasons mentioned in the original post here. If you leave AUX3 on at all times, those lights will turn on/off with ignition.
