I added raptor lights. I found out the fuse in the box is for the DRL relay, not the DRL lamps themselves. If you want them to operate like your DRLs, you have to wire into the harness like he is doing.
Hey man i just bought my army green 2021, ive been watching your vlog since and its been helping me a lot!!!keep it up rick hopefully one day after this pandemic we can roll up with a bunch of tacoma owner here in Virginia since you stay at NC!!!
Thank you for showing how to snake the wire through like that. It was killing me to have to pinch a wire. I was sitting there contemplating on cutting the box and going all crazy but your method is golden and save a lot of time
@@TacoRick ig you can say that. Their bright and works great. Everyone is always suprise how my fogs changes color.🤣 not as good as diode dynamics ss3. But they work great for stock
Thats funny! 😁I thought the same thing you did. Everyone else running 4 in the middle and I'm thinking it should be 3 at the top. . Like the raptor. . 🤔
Have you run into any problems with this setup? I also want to run the lights with the DRLs. Also when you lock/unlock, do the light blink along with the headlights?
Yep! Check the video out that i did on the pro grill swap. The sensor takes a little fine tunning to get it working just right but no issues since. 7 months later
Hello ! I have the same rough country lift on my 2019 tacoma , I was wondering when should i check the lift maintance ? also can you do a video how to check the bolts and on the lift, Sorry If I sound a little confusing. THank you :D
@@TacoRick Rick so the red wire on the raptor lights is the power wire - you tapped this red wire to the DRL orange wire for power and black to ground? I also want to run the raptor lights with the DRL not headlights.
So i just had a minor freakout after watching this video solely based on the fact that you said 6 clips to remove the grill instead of just 2 at the top. This is because I just installed new headlights from tacomabeast a few days ago and knew I didn't remove the four at the bottom like I did the last time when i swapped to the pro grill. So obviously I ran out to my truck and removed the grill again to see if I broke the 4 clips and found that they don't go into the grill portion whatsoever. I'm somewhat new to the taco scene as i bought a 19' last year. So this had me wondering if the oem pro grill or past/future year models did use these 4 clips? I have to ask because just about every taco youtuber says the same thing to remove the 4 at the bottom. Am I missing something?
Bro could you make a video explaining how to tap the DLR wire correctly please

All as I can say is nothing better than a Taco Rick video. I look forward to each one. And I don't even have a gen 3 taco. I'm still on Gen 2.
I went the same route but now my drl wont turn on. Even on auto. Any input taco rick to make them turn back on?

Can you plz show how you exactly spliced into the DLR wire?
You can do this without splicing into the headlight wire by going to the headlight fuse. Don't mess with your warranty!
Great video. I ran my wires a little differently into the fuze box with the add a fuze in my vid.

I used lasfit LD series for my fogs. Looks good on the tacoma. White for pure dark nights, and amber for heavy fog, or rainy nights.
Nice hybrid fogs?
@@TacoRick ig you can say that. Their bright and works great. Everyone is always suprise how my fogs changes color.🤣 not as good as diode dynamics ss3. But they work great for stock
just subscribed, i'm about to get my first Toyota this weekend, a tacoma a trd off-road 4x4 like yours.
So the add a fuse won't fit in the fuse box either huh?
Thats funny! 😁I thought the same thing you did. Everyone else running 4 in the middle and I'm thinking it should be 3 at the top. . Like the raptor. . 🤔
Love your videos man! we all appreciate your tutorial videos!
What is the actual purpose for raptor lights? They look cool, but outside of that, what is their purpose?
Just visual.
Did you figure out yet that your raptor lights turn off when your blinkers turn on.
See the updated wire mess video I posted shortly after this
Have you run into any problems with this setup? I also want to run the lights with the DRLs. Also when you lock/unlock, do the light blink along with the headlights?
No problems other than those Amazon lights crapping out. Not sure if they blink
would the lights be able to go into the middle row of the grille?
They can go in any row
Will these lights work in the factory grill on the 2020?
They sell a different kit ment to clip into the factory style non pro grill
Does the adaptive cruise control still works on your 2020 Tacoma after changing the front grill?
Yep! Check the video out that i did on the pro grill swap. The sensor takes a little fine tunning to get it working just right but no issues since. 7 months later
Hello ! I have the same rough country lift on my 2019 tacoma , I was wondering when should i check the lift maintance ? also can you do a video how to check the bolts and on the lift, Sorry If I sound a little confusing. THank you :D
Its been a minute but it says in the instructions. 50 mile 500 miles and then every 5k if I remember right. I check every 5k now when I rotate tires
@@TacoRick thank you so much for replying!
Nice! Question, did you use a fuse when tapping into the orange DRL wire?
Yes I used the add a fuse
@@TacoRick Rick so the red wire on the raptor lights is the power wire - you tapped this red wire to the DRL orange wire for power and black to ground? I also want to run the raptor lights with the DRL not headlights.
Yes. But see my updated wiring video I posted 2 weeks ago
My add a fuse kit came with a 25 in it. Can I still add the 10 to it?
Yeah. You can combine just about any size the big is to make sure you use the same as the one you are replacing in the bottom slot
@Taco Rick you think those lights would fit a 2021 tacoma off road with the original grill? Thanks
Which grill? They make ones for the honeycomb looking one.
@@TacoRick yeah, my Taco has the one that looks like a honeycomb, so I don't know if those raptor lights will fit into that grill.
They make ones specific to your grill. Check amazon
Great video but thats not a Dremel it's a multi-tool hahaha keep up the good videos
Badass toyota tacoma!!😉👍💯 love the lights as well...💯🤙

The 4 bottom ones were there in my 2018 and my 2020 from the factory. Never could get the grill off without removing them
my 2020 tacoma didn’t come with a daylight amp runner does it make a difference if i just put the amp with the solo one i got then?
I am not sure
Nice job Rick.
Great video man!
When you wire them into DRL are they on during night time when you’re running headlights only? Or are they only on when you’re running lights are on?
Check out the next video I made on this. The one going over wiring.
Pouvez-vous le traduire en français
Any thoughts on the AUTO Headlight feature and having the raptor lights turn on automatically when the “auto headlights” is activated?
BOOM! Never mind. You address this in the “wiring mess” video. Genius! Thanks man!
See my updated wire video following this
You got it
Nice job 👍
Dude you can't have red lights in your drl's that's illegal red is for the rear only
They went raptor lights they are grill lights!
too complicate and confused..I'm lost!!!!
Like and Sub already Boss!
