What I liked most about these when I installed was how nicely they slotted into the grill. No wobble or slight offset. They just look really nice.

[@christopheryanik9430]

I saw another Raptor light install video where the guy said it matters which way the add a fuse is plugged in. He said when installing in the fuse box under the hood, the wire coming out of the side of the add a fuse should point to the front of the truck. Said that the way the power flows through the fuses, one of the fuses would be useless if plugged in the way I see everyone else is plugging it in. Is this true? I've watched dozens of these Raptor light installs and his video is the only one I saw that mentioned that. I'll try to find the video to post.

[@yotaxpedition]

That is not accurate. It does not matter which way you install a fuse. Either way does the same exact thing.

[@DocFitswell]

Just recently installed these following the video. This new way of powering them, do they not turn on with the DRL anymore? Mine only turn on with running/driving lights

[@yotaxpedition]

Turning on with the running lights is correct

[@KendrasEdge757]

Those wire tapps are garbage. They cut into an existing wire and they end up corroding and breaking off after not too long. Just use the add-a-fuse tap into the fuse box under the hood by the battery. Not hard and more secure.

[@yotaxpedition]

We were using the fuse tap. Ran into issues where people weren't installing it correctly and saying their truck wouldn't start. It's a double edged sword.

[@KendrasEdge757]

@@yotaxpedition yeah there’s pro’s and cons to every way. I’ve just seen a lot of those t-taps fail in the last two decades even when done properly. I’ve got a question, is there any reason that some kits come with three lights and some with four? I’ve seen both on the road be it a 4Runner or a Taco and was always curious about that. Outside of just personal preference, wasn’t sure if there was a reason there were two sets available. Appreciate it!

@@christopheryanik9430 I don’t know what you’re referring to exactly. It doesn’t matter how you install the fuse tap for gaining power just like it doesn’t matter which way you install a fuse. The only issues with that are reference the wire routing. Mine are hooked up through the under hood fuse box so the wiring has to come forward towards the radiator to exit the box and I cut a small square off the lid to close it. Had them around a year now +/- and haven’t had any issues and they work regardless of which way they’re plugged into the fuse panel. I just did it the way I did because the lid closes a lot better this way.

[@christopheryanik9430]

@@KendrasEdge757 Hear is the video link (below) I was referring to. This guy explains why it matters which way the add=a=fuse is plugged in. Sounds like you did yours correctly if the same slot he uses and a recent 4Runner. Still, I guess this guy could be wrong. I don't know. : ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4nXZ2WVo8t_b9k

[@saulmartinez7179]

If I connect this set with 3 lights into the “10amp IGN” fuse box inside the vehicle, should these lights work Safely? Without any problems? Thanks

[@yotaxpedition]

You can use any fuse location that is ignition power. Make sure everything is installed correctly and you should not have any issues.

[@lols837]

I installed into my DRL now that light isn’t working and the raptor lights aren’t working

[@saulmartinez7179]

@@yotaxpedition I installed mine weeks ago and as of now it's working

[@Onii_Jim]

You mentioned it made it more safe. Could you elaborate? I’ve been thinking of getting a set

[@catalystactual6491]

Before you'd have to take the cable into your cabin and install it piggybacking on another fuse in the fusebox under the steering wheel. This method you just tap into existing wiring.

[@KendrasEdge757]

I ran mine into the fuse box under the hood. Much safer than using these cheap wire taps that cut into the wire. Seen a lot of those corrode and turn green and snap right off. Just use the fuse tap to the panel under the truck.

[@yotaxpedition]

We had a few times where people we're installing the fuse tap incorrectly and causing their truck not to start because it was going into the efi fuse.

[@KendrasEdge757]

@@yotaxpedition lol as long as you use the ign or acc fuse location you’re good, but if it’s installed properly you shouldn’t have a problem with either of those as long as it’s a 10a location of course. This is another good option, but I’d properly splice into the wire and not use those ones y’all used in the video. Those are failure prone and eventually will fail.

[@yotaxpedition]

Yeah, when installed correctly there is no issues with the fuse taps. Other than not being able to reinstall the fuse box cover (interior). We wanna make the install for people as easy as possible. Obviously if you have any wiring experience then you probably have the tools to solder the connection in. We will probably offer both fuse tap and wire tap and people can choose how they want to install it.

My 2023 4Runner doesn’t have that grill configuration. What changes were made with the new grill and bumper

[@catalystactual6491]

Only the TRD pros come with that grill config but you can buy them aftermarket. Google 4RunnerTRD pro grill.

[@wewd]

They sell the TRD Pro style grille on their website.

What headlights are those?

[@SkeetKinnard73]

I wish my TRD ORP didn't have those silly bars on the upper grille and had the top of the Pro grille. I like the badge where it is but not those bars.

[@yotaxpedition]

We offer black overlays for the bars so they're not chrome! yotaxpedition.com/collections/5th-gen-4runner-exterior-black-out-kits

Thank you, I have them but still love the look of those lights. the lights that fit my grille are not that long diamond look. @@yotaxpedition

Correct
