Ditch light install using factory AUX switch and pigtails

[bsquaredMTB]

I have same truck, where did you run your wires to zip tie them? I was thinking of towing them to the rear metal tube in very back of engine. Seen others attach to this also but makes me nervous as I don’t know if this is a hot line for coolant or heater core fluid etc.

I did the same thing you are showing here and haven't had any issues with the lights at all.

Ok great! Also for those that don’t know where their DRL wire is to tap into for backlit lights… it is the red/white middle wire… video was too large to upload but you can see the location here. This is the plug below the truck on top of taco… on passenger side, then same place on driver side. -Garrett

I haven’t really seen anybody do it yet so I wanted to share some photos from my install yesterday.

I made a wiring harness for my install. It’s complete plug-in play using the factory AUX switch and provided pigtails.

With this setup, have you effectively only allowed yourself to connect to one of the switches?
I take it you just wired hot and ground directly to the Toyota plug.
but now you’ve lost access or the other 2 switch positions? Unless I’m misunderstanding.

I have yet to find a video specifically pointing out aux plug B in the cabin. I've looked and can't find it. Any help?

I believe it is in this kick panel on driver side.

Yep, know that part. I've had it off looking like crazy for the plug, even with the diagram in the owners manual. Couldn't find the darned thing.
