Toyota Tacoma Tailgate LED Light Strip/ Bar Install

[@miamitreasurehunter]

Hi. I just did this on my 2022 Tacoma SR5. Easy to do. 30 minute install. You have to push and wiggle in the connector into to the truck hitch plug, but it will fit. Right, left, braking and emergency 4 way lights. Also when you lock and unlock both sides blink. This is one cool mod. I wish I had them two days ago in FL when a torrential rain was coming down. It is your Running lifts that cars can see you by. These are a Safety must have. Thanks for sharing this install videos.

[@PLAdventures]

Thank you for watching my video. I am glad you also did this mod. It does make a big difference.

[@juanlainez805]

Thank you I’m getting ready to put it on my 2014 Toyota Tacoma

[@PLAdventures]

Thank you for watching my video. It is easy let me know how it goes.

[@rubensalinas8496]

Tag on license plate is 4 20. Love it

[@PLAdventures]

Thank you for watching my videos . I did notice 420 when I was putting the sticker on it's funny.

[@tommyc4996]

Looks great. Do you know if there’s a way to just have it illuminate when you apply the brakes and not directionals? I’m assuming you would have to tap into the third brake light that is above the rear window?

[@wb4514]

What brand mudflaps are you running ?

[@PLAdventures]

Thank you for watching my video. I just got the universal ones at my local auto parts store.

[@Rist_Shot]

Turn singals should be amber though and your reverse lit up red too so something was wired wrong

[@eduardoherrera6320]

Thanks for this video. I installed raptor lights and tailgate light bar in less than 30 minutes! I had been quoted $525 to install. I am so glad I found your video. Instal was super easy so thanks again. Only thing I am concerned about, is the fact that the cover where you plug tailgate light in is open open halfway . Any thoughts on this? I am afraid snow/salt will get it there.

[@PLAdventures]

Thank you for watching my video and I am glad it helped. Great job on the install. They sell a splitter with daul plugs you can install.

[@troysaunders1148]

So what year is your Tacoma? Do you have the rear/side safety sensors? I have heard these may cause issues with these lights from other people's comments. Are you experiencing any issues with the truck thinking it is pulling a trailer? Love the look, but want to see what issues you have encountered. Not crazy about hard wiring because it voids the electrical warranty.

[@PLAdventures]

Thank you for watching my video. My is 2018. I do not have the rear or side sensors. I did not notice any issues.

[@klousekeymetvilla2401]

Thank you so much you help me save some money

[@PLAdventures]

Thank you for watching my video. I am it helped.

[@iamalemontree]

Does water get into the plug outlet ?

[@PLAdventures]

I have not have had any issues.

[@Emtmiller]

So what if I don’t have the plugin?

[@andreacustica9316]

Good but is there any other way to connect the strip other than the outside part of the trailer plug? is there any like dual trailer plug in the market we can replace the OEM for?

[@PLAdventures]

Thank you for watching my video yes you can buy a splitter and than you can connect the light behind the bumper and still be able to connect another thing. Don't forget to subscribe for more videos.

[@Pilsungbo]

Do you know what splitter is? Trying to find that. Thanks!

[@alwayshustling8854]

Runing lights don’t work so I got a replacement and still no luck…. Any advice?

[@ryanmurphy694]

Cool would like to see how you connected to the reverse lights. Is there a way for the plug to be flush? I saw that it sticks out when it is plugged in

[@PLAdventures]

I have not connected the reverse yet. For the plug they sell an adapter which you can plug behind the bumper .

[@zombiebotz]

@@PLAdventures Good video but you should have completed the install.....Where does the red wire go?

[@inferno1770]

@@PLAdventures I just bought the adapter just waiting for the light in the mail

[@lulwindex1535]

@@inferno1770 Can you share the link of the adapter and did it work for you??

[@inferno1770]

The center wire on the adapter you have to splice into for the back up lights

[@shelbygtrag5859]

Yup ,that's how I did mine.

[@rodconsalvo8008]

thanks for the link, loved the video

[@PLAdventures]

Thank you and thank you for watching my video. I really appreciate it.

[@landondavid5773]

Should use acetone or 99% alcohol to clean area for light strip. Makes the adhesive bond 10x better!!! Like almost can’t pull it off.

[@PLAdventures]

Thank you for watching my video I would use alcohol to prep the area.

[@azkr2554]

Nice job! I heard that type of light is illegal in Florida, is this true?

[@PLAdventures]

Thank you for watching my video. I have not had any issues. I see a lot of people with the lights.

[@azkr2554]

I really appreciate, I have plans to go to Florida next week so I don’t any problem!

[@Pa_Dave]

What if you don't want to utilize that connection, and need it for something later? Gotta unplug the strip and replug?

[@PLAdventures]

Thank you for watching my videos. Yes or you can buy an adapter that lets you plug it in from the back and the front one is still available for what ever you need it for.

[@luisnava5277]

Best recommendation is to hard wire it please have someone do it if you don't know how to

[@richnationfilms]

@@PLAdventures have not heard of or seen any adaptive to plug it behind bumper . Please reveal your source . Thanks

[@cajuncharlie53]

What light bar was this and do you have a link to the adaptor your got?

[@GeorgieCt]

Cool but I plan on tying mine into the existing lights so I don’t have to worry about the plug. I thought that what this video was going to show. If people need a video for this plug and play stuff then I wouldn’t do anything more in depth. Lol

[@jerrydavies2796]

PULL THAT PLUG OUT AND SPLICE THE WIRES TOGETHER AND THEN PUT THE ADAPTER BACK IN SO THE WIRES DONT SHOW. ALSO NEDD TO CONNECT THE REVERSE LIGHTS

[@lordwrath9621]

Very nice but wheres the red wire go?

[@pedrolazaro4476]

You gotta tap that into your existing reverse light im assuming he didn't do it since he didn't show white leds that come on when in reverse

[@gadielgonzalez5789]

Where is the existing reverse light?

[@danielhowell1640]

should've ran the wires through some kind of protector coils or at least a piece of garden hose to protect the wires from stone damage or something else.

[@PLAdventures]

Thank you for the advice and for watching my video. I really appreciate it.

[@vphm69]
