Instead of connecting the 2 red wires from the switch to the harness, connect the red wire that is next to the green to the blue. Then connect the other red wire (next to black) from the switch to a wire that goes to the headlights or the fuse in the fuse box. Then the black goes to the black and the green goes to the white. Now when you turn on your lights the switch will turn on with the dash lights and when you turn on the LED light the symbol on the switch will turn on brighter than the lettering. I did this yesterday to my 2017 Tacoma TRD and it works just like that.
forget the video this comment is all i needed to know

How do I keep the switch from staying on even when the truck is off?
you need to turn your switch off or your light will stay on and drain your battery.@@iwannasmokeabowl
Hi - where should we connect the red wire (that is next to the black wire) so that the background illumination of this newly installed switch dims (and brightens)?
When we cycle through the different brightness levels by using the 'Instrument Panel Light Control Switch', then the illumination brightness of the other switches in the panels increase or decrease.
Hot Tip: If using a 3 wire Baja Designs basic harness- black on black, green on red, 2 reds on red/white stripe. Got lucky and nailed it the 1st try.
Used this as a guide for my install. Actually was very useful. Little tip; if you’re trying to get the wire through the firewall, there’s a grommet you can take out on the drivers side right by the brake booster. Remove it, straighten a metal hanger, poke it through the fire wall, keep one end out, and tape it to the wiring coming from the light. I used electrical tape to secure it. Then, either cut the insulation or yank it through it. Also, you don’t have to remove the lower dash to do this part. However to install the factory-style button, removing the lower dash is the easiest way to install it if not the only way. But overall, SUPER easy install. Did it in less than an hour.
Glad you found it useful!
All I want to know is this:
(edited)
What function is the Blue wire? (relay trigger when 12V is applied)
What function is the White wire? (+12VDC from the fuse; constant)
What function is the Black wire? (ground)
Here is the answer:
Blue and Black go to the coil of the relay, posts 85 and 86 respectively. Black is common ground for the entire system. To energize the relay, +12v must be applied to relay post 85 (the blue wire).
White goes to post 30 on the relay, the switch side. White is connected to the red that comes from the fuse at relay post 30. You should show +12v on the white.
Your switch needs to connect white with blue to turn on the lights. Minimally, that is all that is required to operate the lights.
Black is there as a return for the lights on your switch.
Great video! I just ended up pulling off the wiring harness switch and crimping on insulated spade connectors to the OEM style switch. No cutting required. Just had some excess wiring that was easy to secure under the hood. No more than the excess I had to secure from the light bar to the relay. Also, I ended up tapping the 2nd red wire to the green wire on the bed light switch and now I have power when the dash lights are on and off when the truck is off. However, it doesn’t dim. If I wanted the switch to dim, I would tap the ground/black wire from the light bar switch to the tan wire on the bed light switch.
Great straight forward instructions. This will wire the switch and lamp to turn on wether or not the Truck is on. I rather like to have the light bar go of when I turn off the truck. In my harness, the White wire is constant hot from the battery, The blue is the return from the switch to power the relay, in turn powering the light bar, Black is ground on both.
On the switch side, the green is power in, the reds are power out and backlight, the black is ground
On the harness side, I capped the white wire and heatshrink so it never shorts (or you can be used for a constant battery source for something else),
The Blue wire to the combined reds.
The black to black
The green from the switch to a "add a fuse" lead Throw a 5 amp fuse and slip into the USB 7.5A slot in the underdash fuse box. Will come on wether the truck is in ACC mode or fully on.
This is just a suggestion and what I did for my truck, the validity is only based on the wiring of the harness (that the white is wired constant hot and the blue is return), please consult a certified mechanic/electronics tech for best results.
By the way, this light bar is very high quality and throws light exactly where I needed it. Thanks!!
This was great. To get the lights to work with the interior I followed an easy trick. I took the red wire and attached it to the peach wire that is on the door off on switch. Too find it I turned on the interior lights and then took the wire and stuck it in the back of that connector until it turned on. Then I stripped and connected.
Warning: This switch is 3amps rated. It should always be wired through a fused relay. Otherwise the switch might melt and/or cause fire.
If you have the cheap Nilight kit, which is white, red, black. It's (switch)Green to (harness)Red, (switch)Both Red to (harness) white, (switch)black to (harness)black
Thanks pimp glad I’m not the only cheap one here lol
Outstanding video! Thanks for being a solid full service company !
Thanks for the help.
Thank you for the video
Hi Edgardo,
Thanks for watching!
Cali Raised LED
Thanks for breaking down the connections in this video. Just set up my cali raised light bar with OEM switch and it’s #HuntingReady
Lets go.... Thanks for the support!
Installed the harness today and planning on the light install (Ditch Lights) tomorrow since we are having two good days in a row in the North East...
Send us pictures when you get it all rigged up!
I did all your instructions and did work perfectly
The only thing is that when I turn the truck off the lights are still on
Theres any way I can connect the ligths to the fuse panel or something that turn the lights off once I turn the ignition off?
I was going to get power from one of the fuse panel instead the battery but I dont know if I can do that with that kind of harness or if I need to use a different with no relay
Thank you!!
Excellent! video you saved me a bunch of stress.
life saver man
🤝
I want to add these switches (lighter, ditch, and reverse) and replace my rocker switches - does every light I have need a fused relay? My lightbar has a fused relay, my ditch and reverse lights are just fused only from the battery, still ok with these switches? (Ill wire exactly like this... no need for illuminated with headlights)
Thanks for making this video 🤟🏼
Thank You for the install video. Have A Good Weekend! 🛻🚤🏖️
PSA:
If you receive a harness with 4 wires (Black, Blue, White, and RED), tape off the red wire after cutting it and hook up the harness to the switch as directed in the video. This is what they directed me to do after calling them. The lightbar works and is connected after taking these steps. Basically ignore that extra red wire as it was for the switch we disconnected.
Are the Colors the same for the 4runners??
What about the dual switch the one with the amber/white button? Is it the same way?
So if I want to use my spod as my switch I would only use the black and white wires ? Discard the blue ?
I get how to do this portion. What I’m trying to figure out is the connection to the battery. Do I connect the red one directly to the positive bolt and then the black directly to the ground bolt on the battery?
black goes on a grounding point (bare metal) somewhere under the hood. Red goes directly on the positive terminal of the battery
What gauge crimp connects should I use for the wiring ?
I wired mine the exact same way but the switch will not illuminate if bar is on..but the lightbar comes on when button is pressed
If I want to control the backlighting of the switch, do I only use the red wire closest to the black instead of using both? What do I do with the other red wire?
Hey Andres, contact us at info@caliraisedled.com and I can send you a diagram! The red 1 wire connects to your relay or accessories and the red 2 wire is normally connected to your dash light circuit to be on when your dash lights are on. We look forward to assisting you bud!
Any idea on how to troubleshoot a button that is lit, but not turning my fog lights on?

I have a 2023 Toyota Tundra XP package. I install a Diode Dynamics light bar on the front grill. Then I purchased a Cali Raised OEM light bar switch to install it so I can have a OEM light on /off switch for the light bar. Some rep from Cali Raised told me that the 2022+ switch that they sell will fit my 2024 Tundra. The problem is that the switch comes with 5 cables and the Diode Dynamics light bar harness has 3 cables that plug to the switch that comes with the light bar. I thought the Cali Raised switch was gonna be plug and play but it's not. So I am trying to find help on how to install the Cali Raised switch to a Diode Dynamics light bar. Can you help with this?
Ok so I want to have it where mine is amber just like my stock fog light switch is when my interior lights are are on. So for that I would just use the red closest to the black and not use the other red at all? Right?
Yes, You would take the red closest to the black and tap it into the source that powers the interior lighting . Let us know if you have any other questions.
So from my wife’s coming from my engine bay to inside the truck has 4 wires. It has 1 white. 1 blue 1 black and 1 red.
My own switch has the 2 red green and black. My question is: that extra red wire coming from the engine bay connects where?
Please email us.. We have a diagram for you! info@caliraisedled.com
How was this resolved
@@jordanspinner He emailed for a diagram that explains everything
Look up a Plug n Play harness to scab onto OEM wiring.
Quick question: I recently installed the light bar, and I crimped the wires onto some splices and went to turn it on and the switch smoked immediately. Turned it off and the switch no longer works. I’ll be connecting the wires differently next time as I think that’s what happened. Do I just need to get a new switch?
If you send pictures and the same explanation to info@caliraisedled.com they will be able to further assist you to ensure you get the help necessary.
Hey guys I have a question. I have a '14 Tacoma Access Cab. On my light panel I have the upper panel closest to the vent. On the left is the factory switch for the vehicle fog lamps. The middle one, which I just replaced and it was a "true" blank and put in the switch for my ditch lights. The third and last switch blank isn't really a blank. When I pulled it out it had connector on the back with a bunch of wires running out from it. Do you have any idea what this does? I'm asking because I'm putting more lights on the truck and I really don't want to have to drill into my dashboard. Can you or anyone on here provide any insight? Thanks in advance.
Hello PC,
It sounds like you need some help. If you can provide us some photos and email them to the email provided below we can better assist you! info@caliraisedled.com
Will the blue light come on when you turn on the headlights like the rest of the oem switches?
The switch allows you to tie into interior lights if you would want. The red wire closest to the black can be run to a fuse tap. The way we wire it makes so the switch only illuminates when the Light bar or pods are turned on.
Cali Raised LED, what fuse do you tap into for the backlit option?
If you use the plug and play illumination harness with the oem style plug, do you just leave the ground/black wire from the actual light bar unconnected?
You are going to need the ground/ black wire connected. We recommend using a bolt on the side of your rig!
@@CaliRaisedLED The small black ground wire that runs to the original harness switch? On the illumination harness it looks like the ground for the oem style switch plug is connected to the ground of the bed light rocker.
@@stevenjohnston2823 can you let me know what you ended up doing? I'm in the same boat trying to find some information
@@kylebrooks7667 I ended up not buying anything haha sorry
@@stevenjohnston2823 np thanks for the reply! I ended up just leaving the switch ground wire disconnected as you stated and it works fine. I have a diode dynamics stealth light bar.
Anyone know if there's a video that actually shows the install? Pushing wire from engine into cab and installing the switches?
I have a harness that uses 22awg to its switch. I want to change it out for an oem switch, but it comes with 20awg. Do I need to change out the wires so they match?
It is safe to use different gauges of wiring. Just ensure that you are wiring it properly.
Why isn’t there anything that shows how to connect to the battery? That’s what I need instructions on.
Red to red black to black
I know this comment is 6 months old now but its pretty simple 😊 you got it man
My light bar came with one red, one black and one white wire. I ran black to black, green to white and both reds to red. It's turns the light bar on but the backlights on the switch never turn off? What did do wrong here? Thanks for any help!!

I had this same exact issue. Did you ever figure it out?
@@carissaramirez9113 Give our customer service a call to ensure we get your situation figured out! (888)-385-5036
Black to black ,
The red wire closes to the black wire on the switch harness DO NOT CONNECT.
Red wire from switch harness to the blue or white .
Green wire from switch harness to red.
This will make oem switch to turn on when lights are on.
I just purchased a 5 wire OEM switch for my 2022 Tundra. How do I wire that?

Hi I use your diagram on my ditch light cause same color the wire black blue white from the light and the switch is black,red,red,green…and it’s work thanks ,,I have relay and fuse on my harness that came with the Baja ditch light,,cali raised bracket
Any tips on how to connect a dual switch? I have the dual light bar with a dual harness and I’m trying to figure out how to connect the harness to the OEM dual switch. Please help, it will be greatly appreciated.
There are two ways you can wire your dual function bar depending on how you would like it to operate.
TWO WIRE HARNESSES:
**Controlling Amber & White Lights Independently**
If you want to control the amber and white separately then you will need 2 harnesses. With the 2 harnesses, this gives you the ability to run the Amber/White lights individually or all at the same time.
The LED bar will have 3 wires on it. BLACK, WHITE, GREEN
BLACK: Ground
WHITE: Power For The White LED's
GREEN: Power For The Amber LED's
The harness will have DT Plugs at the end. You will want to remove those plugs as they are not needed.
After the plugs are removed there will be red and black wires exposed. between both harnesses, you will have 2 red wires and 2 black wires.
You will want to connect the 2 black wires together and connect them to the black wire on the LED bar, Then one red to the white and the other red to green. That will give you the ability to run the lights independently.
ONE WIRE HARNESS:
**Controlling ALL Lights At Once**
If you are wanting the full bar to turn on/off at once and not be able to control it separately then you would just need one harness. Remove the plug from the harness. Connect the black wire from the LED bar to the black wire on the harness. Then combine the green and white wire on the LED bar to connect to the red on the harness.
From the switch side of things, theres 5 wires coming from the dual function (white/amber) switch, and only 4 that connect to the harness. Which wires should I crimp together?
@@colinstelly3721 did you ever get an answer on this?
Sorry it took so long, but no. I did not! Have you figured it out by any chance??
@@colinstelly3721 I just ended up using a 2 wire harness I bought from Amazon. It came with a red and blue switches. I would’ve preferred the single OEM dual switch but I couldn’t make it work. I’m not exactly and expert in electrical installations lol. It’s ok, the harness I have on works decent enough. I actually like the red and blue switch when it’s lit up. It makes it look like i have a 18 wheeler cockpit or something😅
Thanks for asking. Much appreciated 👍🏼🙏
The only question Jacob the wire running from the led bar in the engine which wire coming off of that gets connected to the battery for your power. You did not show that. Not sure on that. Thanks.
The red wire goes to the hot and black goes to ground.
Got red yellow and black on wiring harness what do I connect using the switch to what?
Hello Carson, If you are still ahvin trouble with wiring. Please contact our customer service via email and send them pcitures. They can help you out! info@caliraised led.
This is great and all but what if you pitches ditch lights that have more than one light function? Mine can switch between amber and white and strobe. I'm guessing this switch only acts as an on/off button.
Yes, You are correct. You cannot cycle through the modes without turning the light on and off.
@Cali Raised LED Thank you for the response. I had them in my cart, and I'm glad I waited.
Every time I wire the switch up it’s stays lit even when the truck is off anybody know what I need to change
My single leg LED harness came with a blue, black, white and red wire. How the hell do I connect that to the OEM switch. Is the red wire just extra?
I called them:
They told me to tape off the red wire coming from the relay and hook up the wires from the switch to the relay the same as the video says. I did this and the light bar is working properly.
My only concern is the wires are a lot smaller in these new harnesses than they used to be compared to the old one u i bough 14 months ago. Not sure why the change was made but hopefully it doesn't burn up the puny wires during long extended use.
I have red, yellow, black wires not white, blue, balck wires....what goes where?
I’m the same way, I didn’t buy a Cali raised wiring harness so I don’t have the same colors. I emailed them so hopefully i get a response soon
Blew 2 fuses but figured it out 😂😜
@@MrSpunduckwoo I have the same wiring harness colors. How did you end up connecting the wires? I'm trying to avoid blowing fuses.
10grSTi Sorry it’s been a while since I did this mod. I don’t remember how I eventually got it to work. I did blow one fuse trail an error which Isn’t a big deal. Just buy some extra fusses just in case.
@@Kendv8s do you remember what ones you used for which color to which color?
Black to black ,
The red wire closes to the black wire on the switch harness DO NOT CONNECT.
Red wire from switch harness to the blue or white .
Green wire from switch harness to red.
This will make oem switch to turn on when lights are on.
Awesome, Thank you for informing the people that are struggling with a different harness!
Ok but where does the power come from ?
The power comes from the car battery!
REDS TO BLUE
GREEN TO WHITE
BLACK TO BLACK
Followed this exactly and my ditch lights didn't work.
Louis, please reach out to our customer service. (888)-385-5036 info@caliraisedled.com
Why, why, why do you not show how to wire so that it lights and dims with the rest of the dash lights? Why would I want one switch that looks and works differently from the rest!?!
Why doesn't this video show you how to connect to battery, mount, and wire through the cabin? What's the point of this video?
any other volty boys cringe at this wiring job?
these guys are going to get sued. the wires are almost melting hot, no instructions, you have to email them for this "diagram" instead of it being readily available. My installer has been doing this for 20 years and laughing at the gauge of this trash they send. These guys are gonna smoked real soon if they keep sacrificing quality for a few pennies.
