4Runner Raptor Lights Installation | 2014-2023 | Yota X 

Glad we could help!

Thanks!

Adding them to your fog fuse will be fine

Never hurts.

Hey Bob, Do the grille bar lights have a black, white and yellow wire? I never personally installed a set but the white wire would get tapped into your DRL wiring and the yellow wire would get tapped into your turn signal wiring. Black is obviously your ground. That should allow the lights to work properly.

Yes, I tapped the white to DRL Power (+) , black to DRL ground (-). With DRL connector unplugged, the white LED work. When DRL connector plugged into factory halogen DRL bulb, the LED goes out, but factory halogen DRL comes on.

I figured out the problem! On my 23 4Runner ORP, the DRL are wired in series, not parallel. This means the 12 VDC was coming to the passenger driving light on a green wire to the passenger DRL, then going to the driver's DRL via a pink wire. The Driver's DRL then went to ground on a white/black wire. Series splits the voltage for every light in the series. In this case, I only had 6 VDC going to each halogen bulb, making it dimmer than if 12 VDC were going to each bulb. I purchased a 9005 DT plug extender. On the passenger side, I removed the black pin from the DT extension connector. I wired that black wire directly to ground. The factory green went to the red side of the the extender DT connector. I tapped the red wire from the extender and placed it back in the DT connector where the black wire was pinned (Now 12 VDC is on both red wire pins of the extension DT connector). This new Red wire carries 12 VDC on the pink factory wire to the driver's side DRL, which is already grounded. I did not touch the Driver's side DRL wiring. This puts 12 VDC to each running light, allowing you to run LED 9005 bulbs and also powers my raptor lights when factory DRL are on. This rewired extender can be removed and its back to factory series wired DRL.

If you have an issue we will replace it for you.

You can splice the wire in with your running lights and eliminate putting it in to the fuse box. Or if you have more lighting you can get a switch panel and wire your raptor lights in to that. We have a full switch panel kit with bracket coming soon.

​@@yotaxpedition Would you happen to know what wire you would splice into on Morimoto headlightsfor the DRL? My headlights came with a add-a-fuse harness for the DRL's but they work perfectly fine without it.

Yes, here is the link for the letters yotaxpedition.com/products/pro-grille-letters-4runner-2014-2023

Either the fuse tap is not plugged all the way in or is faulty. Try another fuse location that is ignition power

Yes, take the fuse you removed from your fuse box and put it in the fuse tap.

@@yotaxpedition I tried doing that, but it doesn’t fit

@@Mstrgeez Glad to know someone else has the same issue. I don't know if you know anything about fuses, but the size on the add a fuse is for a mini (a fuse size) and the fuses in my car were low profile minis, so they wont fit in the mini slot. Assuming I just need to order a 10A Mini fuse to plug into the add a fuse. Since when I plugged it into the tail position my taillights turned off

You probably don't have the fuse pushed all the way in your fuse box.

I had the same exact problem tonight, I'll double check, but I'm almost certain i pushed it in all the way. I even tried various 10amp fuse locations, same result

Yeah I definitely had mine pushed in all the way. Haven’t tried different fuses yet but will today to see if that fixes the issue.

Just find a fuse location that only has power when then ignition is on and you'll be good. Your other option is to use a wire tap and get power from the wire going to your running lights in your headlights. This way you're not messing with any fuse locations.

But they won't be on during the day

We make content based on what we sell and what most of our consumer is buying. This is not a personal build. Everything we do is planned out in a certain order so we can get as much content as we can.

Skip the fuse tap and use a wire tap into your running lights.

Who hurt you? 😂
