This Toyota Tacoma Chase Light is Clean, Classy and Powerful!

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Correction! I said I used 1/2" flex tubing... but I actually used 3/8". 1/2" would be a tiny bit too big.

[@Gowaduv]

I did a couple sections of WABDR this summer as the lead truck and it was really dusty. My buddies told me a couple times they were glad I had my roof mounted chase lights. The video showing the with and without difference was really effective. Plus that light looks factory. Good job!

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Many thanks! Yeah it was crazy dusty.

[@eli-703]

Great video! I appreciate how in depth you are about the installation process!

[@Rhamsanavong]

Great install and straight forward! Love that it looks OEM. I might have to do that to my Tacoma. 👌🏽

[@stayraddad4638]

Very nice ! I just added DD rear chasers on my Leitner and couldn’t be more stoked . Wired up so they back glow amber when headlights are on , and work awesome for chase and recovery

[@KF7P]

100%. I put the same light but in pod version rear facing on my Colorado. Until last week on our "watch the eclipse" desert trip, I wasn't sure how valuable it was....but my buddies following me definately thought it was a good idea! The dust was completely blinding at times. I also had forward facing amber fog lights for the same reason; I have the ability to strobe them, helps move slow people like Subarus out of my way 🙂

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Yep... It was a bit hilarious how we had no dust on the 2nd half of our trip. But the new light cut through fog nicely as well.

[@BowTied69]

Nice install!! Not sure this would work on my Bison due to the spare tire access port but it looks very clean on your rig. Also, did I miss a different video on the trailer hitch protector/shackle mount you have visible at the end of the video?

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Yeah for the Bison check out this video we did a while back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4jEqaeIdpafntE

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Yeah that's a hitch slider I got for Christmas from my awesome wife. Never made a video about it.

[@BowTied69]

@@JasonExplainsThings Well, if you are so inclined to to drop a 30 second clip in your next video on the details and how it performs that'd be awesome.

[@orlando5001]

I put my chase lights on the rear of my prinsu rack and added a second air chuck for my compressor to that spot in the rear bumper. Great video

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Good ideas!

[@gamerscore88]

So dope! This will be my next lighting mod

[@nolangabel5997]

Could you please put out a second video explaining the use of the chase light for on road/off road? When can it be used at high/low/backlight? I have ditch lights from diode and understand the forward facing requirements, but curious about any restrictions of rear facing lights.

[@JasonExplainsThings]

I use them if it’s dusty, foggy or if the person behind me asks me to turn them on.

[@True77]

Love the chill install vibes in the second half. ✌️ Overall, fantastic stuff. Chase lights in those dusty situations is a must have.

[@NilesProductions]

Looks clean. Great job jason

[@TinkerersAdventure]

That is clean! I never associated chase lights in this layout either, but it actually makes a lot of sense. Thinking out of the box!

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Thanks Kai! Yeah I've been very pleased. My off-road buddies were surprised by how bright and effective it was. A nice solution since I'm not looking to remove the stock bumper since I want to maintain my factory hitch.

[@richardguse3410]

On our Volvo XC70 and many other European cars it is called a "Rear Fog Light". Incorporated in the driver's side taillight.

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Nice. I’m for it.

[@advnate]

I had a Jaguar in the past that had rear fog lights. I thought those were so cool. They were red not yellow.

[@richardguse3410]

I should have added the bright red light melts accumulating snow. I've experienced times when it was the only light visible on the back of our Volvos. I know in some markets it's available on GM because my Z71 Tahoe has a rear fuse labeled "rear fog". Option RPO T79. Not in Canada.@@JasonExplainsThings

[@davestewart9146]

Nicely done Jason 👍😁

[@UNITSandman]

I got a auxbeam switch could I just wire positive and negative to that?

[@advnate]

Get the adventure video done!

[@JasonExplainsThings]

You come help then! There’s like 15 hours of footage to go through you punk! 😂😭

[@davidr.1517]

Great video. I'm getting ready to install to flush mount light pods from Diode Dynamics. I bought their 2 pin heavy duty wire harnes. Its only 10' long from the relay to the DT connectors. I noticed the Diode Dynamics harness is 14 gauge and I bought some 16 gauge 10' DT extenders so that I can reach both lights in the rear bumper. I guess going from 14 gauge to 16 gauge is okay being they are low amps lights? Your thoughts?

[@wadeduvall7026]

Can't wait for more overland content!

[@bungieking9468]

Great job! Thx Jason!

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Hey, you're welcome!

[@Stev98000]

Very nice work Would a red fog light be better?

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Amber is best for dust… which is the primary reason I added the chase light.

[@flaco1216]

Use a fog lens that way all the light can be even across. I swapped the lens from my hitch to wide I didn’t like the flood

[@docuron]

that would be cool in red, like a rear fog light 😬🙌🏽

[@kmehrtens]

Nice video. Looking to do a similar setup on my 4Runner with dual lights, same lights and switch. Do you use the hi low function of the switch? What's the difference in brightness?

[@JasonExplainsThings]

The backlight feature is just for looks. I honestly don’t use it that much.

[@TREVORJB101]

Nice video!

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Thanks guy. 👍

[@Kentucky4runner]

Oddly enough, I noticed the rig with the bumper lights in the last video and thought they “what a great idea”. Thanks for being a mind reader…… And not to give you a reason to roll your eyes-when does the adventure movie drop?

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Thanks! Yeah the adventure video will take time to edit while I put our smaller videos. It’s going to be like an hour long I’m guessing.

[@ACasualCustomer]

Does this light the way you set it up turn on automatically when you set the car in reverse? Or is it manual only

[@JasonExplainsThings]

I wired to have it be on a manual switch. But you could tie it to your reverse light if you chose.

[@advnate]

Bison Man 3:17!

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Bison Man needs to be in every video!

[@kcassidy90]

so sick!

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Thanks!

[@koalafan1576]

Back lighting?

[@JasonExplainsThings]

High and Low. Low is pretty just for looks.

[@Bisonmaczr2]

Future’s so BrighT!

[@antonkanevskyi5403]

I think it's time to get a switch panel instead of the rat's nest you have under the hood and behind the dash :)

[@JasonExplainsThings]

I'm all tapped out yes. I only have one remaining blank switch left. But it's pretty tidy... not when it's all apart and still being work on though.

[@KF7P]

I've got the Auxbeam switch panel, RGB for 8 lights, and can confirm its just terrific!
