Question about TRD Pro grill/lightbar/raptor lights

[awpk03s]

I’m considering putting TRD Pro (Rave) grill and light bar on my TRD OR.. I do NOT have the Aux switches in my cab.
How involved/hard is it to do the wiring to make that happen and install switches?
I watched a great video of a guy installing that DID have the aux power switches already, but I’m not sure how my experience will differ to figure out if I actually want to do it or not…

thanks!

I installed Cali ditch lights and didn't use my aux switches. I chose their switch because I wanted it in the upper right switch blank spot, and it turns blue when the lights are on.

I used their wiring harness, which has a relay switch, and I think you'll need one too. Those are not hard to put together; I'm sure you can find a YouTube.

thank you… that’s super complete!
Looks a little intimidating… I’ll read/look a little closer tonight and try to re-evaluate. I just wish now I had the aux power wiring already would be so much easier.

The easiest way to put auxiliary lights and switches in your rig is to put an up an auxiliary power distribution box in.
I put an oxbeam, eight switch pedal in my twenty four tacoma, and I am no mechanic. The directions were, easy to understand and the pictures. I think were even better..
Now I can control 8 different. Auxiliary items with either the remote control for the switch panel, it's installed in a truck.

Thanks…. I like the looks of that option too.
my hesitation though is the auxbeam circuit looks like it connects to positive/negative/acc battery…. Which for me is all the way under the back seat. I need to see if there’s a way to make those connections under hood somehow with my hybrid?

Yah, not sure about that. Mine is a non-hybrid model. I have a battery under the hood. I mounted my switch panel on top of the battery. Good luck
