What did you do TO / WITH your 4th gen Tacoma today?! 👨‍🏭 🧰 📸

What did you wire it to? Do you have the stock aux switches?

I'm pretty sure he wired to a Cali-Raised switch.

Re-modded and enhanced an interior mod: BulletPoint (BP) Mounting Solutions gadget holders have been repositioned and cables stuck into silicone rubber routers.

I had an extra mounting arm and two extra phone mounts for MagSafe compatible phones. On the BuiltRight seatback steel MOLLE panel behind driver’s seat, below the headrest, I used an older style BP magnet meant to hold a phone to mount the arm to the MOLLE. The other end has another phone holder with heat vents. This can be used by a rear passenger, or we can charge a small iPad back there, watches, etc. Pretty cool…was going to sell but rather use these gadgets for gadgets.

No stock aux. Just used the Cali raised dual switch but didn't wire the backlight. Indicator is illuminated when on.

Tried to drill out a black switch for the rocker to save time, but that ended up being a waste of time, so wired the switch

I ordered mini add-a-fuse. That was my plan. I saw someone else tap into the back of another switch too. You could just run it like this and then tap into the dash circuit later if it bothers you, super easy to access

yea it sounds that way. Im just not the most electrically inclined so if its more complicated that a plug and play aspect I tend to over analyze it so I don’t screw something up lol

So I'm not familiar on how the dual beam lights work without a proper diagram. But, here's a really good diagram that explains the basics of how 90% of basic 12v circuits work:

Most aftermarket accessories use a Ford style 5 pin relay like this. You can build your own circuits to power most anything, from cooling fans to lights. Toss in a continuous duty solenoid in place of that light and you have a basic manually switched battery isolator for dual battery setups. I actually spent last night building a pair of these circuits to mount a set of lights and a cooling fan to my tractors canopy last night.
