Hello, I am the owner of 4runner in South Korea I maintain and manage videos on you. Thank you for the perfect video

[@VikingsGarage]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@mrspongegaming5173]

I love your videos man, they’re always easy to follow and quick to the point. It’s very hard nowadays to find decent installation videos especially with wiring. I have a 18 TRD OR Premium that I’m going to add these raptor lights in thanks to your video. I’ve definitely watched a lot of your content and will continue. Thanks! Forever subscribed.

[@VikingsGarage]

Much appreciated!! 🙏🏻

[@rob4f258]

Bro...this video came right in time. Thankz 👍🏾

[@VikingsGarage]

Your welcome!!

[@SandyMasquith]

Very nice! Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Forgive the stupid question please: Did you replace the engine compartment fuse with the one inside the cab?

[@VikingsGarage]

No such thing as stupid question… the engine compartment fuse has to go back in, only fuse your installing the add a fuse is on the inside fuse box (IGN No 2)

[@_madpanda]

starting and ending the vid with a coffee, that's how we do it. thanks for the tutorial

[@VikingsGarage]

Right on!! 🤘🏻

[@bronzestarvue]

How would you wire up the switch if you didn't use a relay, and they weren't going thru the fuse box, but battery positive? The LED lights don't draw a lot of power, so the fuse on the switch should be enough (I'll put an inline fuse between the switch and battery just in case)? So if you have the red and black wires coming off the lights, with the red / black / yellow / green wires off the switch, which ones would go where? I know one switch wire has to go back to battery positive, one to ground, and one to illuminate the switch, but which ones, and what do you do with the "leftover" wire?

[@Thankyou_3]

Thanks buddy for the video, I need to get believing bigger to do this install on my Runner. By the way, I love the postlude music, is that music something you made yourself or off the shelf music.

[@VikingsGarage]

You can totally do it yourself. Not that hard. That’s music I find on the video editor. I should make my own music, I do own a few guitars. Happy 4th of July!!

Thanks Viking!

Awesome vid and easy to follow thanks! Quick question, did I miss the video where you got the Raptor lights? Where did you pick them up? Please keep up the great work!

[@cpfb68]

@@VikingsGarage thanks…I missed it. We got the same spec 23’ version 4Runner as you in classic silver. Love this vehicle! Never had a body on frame and the Mrs. Is really happy as am I. Keep up the great vids. I’ve Ben watching to be able to do all the maintenance. Thanks for all you do!

[@VikingsGarage]

@cpfb68 very cool!! I appreciate you!! 🙏🏻

[@Bobby_86415]

For the add a fuse did you locate the power side or just install it? Because a add a fuse needs to be oriented correctly for proper functionally. Thanks

[@nogazaky2915]

Hi , so can I hook anything to get pour on/off like front camera ?

[@Treetopflyer777]

Great video. I’ve been looking forward to this one. Electrical is definitely not my forté

[@VikingsGarage]

Believe me, I’m not a fan either. If I can do it so can you.

[@yvesjean2992]

Thanks for the video I have the same raptor light to install with a switch on my 4Runner TRD pro 2023. but it's come with a 15 AMP fuse to put at the ignition in the fuse box. when I put just the 10 AMP fuse come with the car the engine don't want to start at all. I put both 15 and 10 AMP the raptor light and the engin work very well. Should I leave it with the 15 AMP or buy a 10 AMP? I waiting for your advice.

[@VikingsGarage]

Are you using the correct fuse… either way never increase the amperage on a circuits fuse ( that could cause an electrical fire).

[@joeythedime1838]

Any reason why you used a relay? The 3 Raptor leds can't draw hardly any current. You should be able wire from the interior fuse block to the switch and go directly from the switch to the leds.

[@VikingsGarage]

This is very true, but it’s better to be safe then sorry. Besides it’s super easy to add it to the circuit. (What I showed everyone is an automotive circuit the way your car comes from factory) And yes I could have ran the power source from the engine bay, but I much rather keep that fuse box completely closed to the elements. 😉

[@TopHatGent]

Would you recommend caulking the seams of the raptor lights? My cali raised didn't make it two months before it got moisture inside so now I am in talks with them to send a replacement.

[@VikingsGarage]

Yeah, it’s a shame but, extra measures are needed to get these things to last.

[@atldeadhead]

Nice t-shirt!

[@VikingsGarage]

[@robsavphotography]

Thanks for a great video. How bright are the Raptor Lights ? Are they just for looks or do they really light up the road ? Thanks !

[@VikingsGarage]

They don’t necessarily light up the road. But definitely let other distracted drivers know that you’re coming. 🤘🏻

[@robsavphotography]

Great. Thanks !@@VikingsGarage

[@cali963]

I noticed the wiring harness in the description is a 2 lead harness. Looks like you only used one for the raptor lights. What did you do with the other lead?

[@VikingsGarage]

???

[@Treetopflyer777]

I guess the inside fuse panel cover can’t be reinstalled with that plug in place?

[@VikingsGarage]

That’s the one downside of it.

[@mariabarreiro9884]

Nice Job 👏👏 👏 beijinhos 😘❤️

[@VikingsGarage]

Obrigado mãe!!

[@spud6603]

Okay so I attempted to install my raptor lights except I chose to keep the red power wire on my battery terminal and just feed the relay wires thru my fire wall, "disappointed" in my install because it won't turn on. I know I did something wrong but I just don't know what it is. It's passed my bed time so I will test the fuse on the relay in the morning, because I also have to install my ditch lights.

[@VikingsGarage]

Good luck!! 👍🏻

[@user-ob7dq6ok7t]

I did the connection just like you did it, I got power on the connector of the switch but the switch is not working. I used the provided switch that came with the wires and it turned on the lights. But the raptor switch is not working. Is there a chance that it came defective? How I could diagnose the switch it self?

[@VikingsGarage]

remove it from the dash and try again, they are know for binding. Not exact OEM fit.

[@jeffhenjes1722]

Does anyone make a good raptor light? All I've seen up close are cheap and wouldn't last in the offroad world long.

[@VikingsGarage]

I do have to admit, being on My second set(first ones were cheap in every sense of the word) This set is from Yotaverse, it’s an improvement but I’m sure there as to be better out there.

[@elshowdelpape4445]

Hola....I wanna lift my 2021 4runnerSR5 what you recommend me

[@VikingsGarage]

It all depends on your goals for it… a lot of options out there. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@richardstone5241]

I used to build off road vehicles and do not recommend lifting. If you do decide to lift your 4Runner don't go over two inches if you don't want issues. Personally, and yes I have a 4Runner, your money is better spent on a quality "steel" set of under armor and rock sliders.

[@spud6603]

Why does it ave to go specifically into the IGN No2 fuse port, and can't I use another 10 A fuse location?

[@VikingsGarage]

Sure, you can pick another one. That’s the one I picked. 😉

[@chachi5975]

You'll want to use one that only comes on with the ignition. I used an add a fuse on the cigarette lighter circuit.

[@JoshuaCaldwellDirector]

So, I installed everything exactly like you did. However, the Raptor switch never lit up. For a few cycles it turned the Raptor lights on and then off, but then that stopped working as well. Assuming I did everything exactly like you, is it possible I blew a fuse? Or just got a bad switch? The switch itself feels insanely cheap and the green connector that plugs into the switch was a pain to get in and then ended up breaking the switch when I tried to get it out (this was after I realized the switched wasn't working). And did you solder the red and yellow together first and then solder to the white one? Did you do one at a time? Thinking this may have been my fail point even though it looked good.

[@VikingsGarage]

The switch fitment on the dash slot was a bit tricky, only fitted right once I wrapped it around some electrical tape. I solder those 3 wires together… double check your fuses. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@JoshuaCaldwellDirector]

@@VikingsGarage yeah, I was testing the switch before installed it into the dash. The switch light never worked and it only seemed to cycle the lights a couple times and then stopped. Giving it another try today. Thanks!

[@JoshuaCaldwellDirector]

Got it to work. I think I just had a faulty switch.

[@VikingsGarage]

@JoshuaCaldwellDirector I’m glad to hear, they need to work on making a better quality switch and connector.

[@bigdogcam1]

@@JoshuaCaldwellDirector i am experiencing your same issue. lights work via switch but switch doesnt illuminate. I emailed 4RunRun to get another switch sent out..... time will tell here

[@victorcianflone5093]

It seems to me if you're only using a 2 Amp Fuse on the inline fuse holder, those lights don't draw hardly anything why go through all the trouble using a relay

[@VikingsGarage]

Because I can, and because you should. 😎

[@victorcianflone5093]

@@VikingsGarage it takes less than 1 amp to activate a relay, it makes no sense to use the relay when the lights only draw 1.5 amps

[@VikingsGarage]

@victorcianflone5093 You seem to be very bothered by it, how would you feel if I insisted in telling you what to do? Regardless of your answer? Thank you for watching!
