What's up t4r garage. Wanted to thank you again. Your video helped me with the wire install. The only deviation was i went through the small rubber grommet on the left of the main one. I drilled a hole through it to pass the wires through. Worked great. Thanks again!

@T4Rgarage Год назад

Thank you! That’s a great spot to go through too, nice choice. I would have gone through there but I had already ran my raptor lights through that location.

Thank you Mr, I just installed my ditch lights RC as you did with the OEM switch, and the result is 100%.

@T4Rgarage 10 месяцев назад

Great to hear! Just about to install some ditch lights myself actually

The ditch lights RC osram are dope.

Another great video and the light bar looks great! I ordered the same switch through 4Runner Lifestyle and will be wiring up a 20 light bar as well.

@marshacrowdus Год назад

I was just researching lightbars this week! I really love your videos. They are very informative with great instructions.

So where would white wire go if I wanted switch to light up when I turn dash lights on?

@AZOverland2017 Год назад

Nice job.

Is your 4 Runner SR5 ?

@ninjathecable Год назад

Can this setup , be also compatible with a 3rd gen tacoma too?

@T4Rgarage Год назад

Yes, but just confirm the size of switch. There is a tall and short version. The 4Runner has the short, Tacoma may be the same but I am not sure

@jordanstepp183 Год назад

I believe if you hooked up that other white wire you would have the word "light bar" lit up when your headlights are on then the light bar symbol will light up when you engage the switch. So you would still be able to know if your light bar was on or off with that other wire hooked up. You would just be able to see the button in the dark.

@T4Rgarage Год назад

That’s good to know, I’ll have to try that next time I’m in there. Thanks 🙏🏼

@mikewold8996 8 месяцев назад

That's how mine works.

@kmzoilus2486 7 месяцев назад

so that extra white wire on the switch... I m guess it doesn't connect to the the constant power? it connects to the other one... the one that isn't the ground?

@ewash253 Год назад

This video is the most helpful for the Rough Country lights! I've had mine for 3 years and gave up trying to figure out how to get the switch led to turn off when the truck is off! Thanks man!!!

@jackG1207 Год назад

Same problem I am having! I guess it doesn’t draw enough power to cause worry about draining the battery?

@MikeyC172 7 месяцев назад

How did you fix it? My switch stays on all the time

SIde question - do your L/R and Mirror toggle buttons light up? Mine are dark when i turn on my headlights.

@FloridaDeere 3 месяца назад

Great video,super awesome to know the dash is that easy to unhook and you don't even need to cut a hole in the dash but that the dummy spot is just a punch out hole, thanks Toyota for understanding people mod your vehicles.

@Dear--Leader 10 дней назад

Thank you so much!!!!! Got a Rigid 20 bar and I had no idea how to wire it up.

@pwprochazka 6 месяцев назад

for $15 people should get a relay hanger. You can use the two sockets for your bolts and it will hold 4 relays. You think you will only have one light bar or set of lights.. but trust me, it won't be the end of it. You'll want ditch lights or a backup light or rock lights. having the relay hanger is handy.

@christopheralonzo7233 6 месяцев назад

thank you so much mr. i come accross your video we have exact the same wire harness for the dash switch that has the white wire that im installing foglights for my 2015 2nd gen. tacoma thanks again for helping me to do my project you have a great day .

@kmzoilus2486 7 месяцев назад

Just in case anybody out there runs into this issue... the LASFIT 10ft Wiring Harness I ordered a month ago from amazon has different color wires. The 3 wires from the relay are Red, Black and Yellow. I ordered the same switch as in the video. Here's how to connect to the updated colors: Black to black Yellow from the relay connects to the Green on the switch the Red from the relay connects to BOTH the red and the white on the switch Everything works flawlessly.

love this! About to install one in my 4th gen

@T4Rgarage Год назад

Thank you! The switches are different sizes between the 4th and 5th gen. I believe the 4th gen has a longer switch that identical in every other way, so just make sure you get the correct size. Cheers!

@jackG1207 Год назад

Thanks for the helpful video! I have a different light bar, but after everything is installed, my switch stays illuminated, even when the vehicle is off. The switch works just fine and turns the light bar on and off like it should. Any ideas what my problem might be?

Been binge watching your videos while I plan mods for my runner haha. Just ordered the body armor hi line and rough country light bar with your recommendation 🙌🏻 Also plan on getting the diode ss3 with Amber drl setting as fog lights, also with your recommendation haha. The rough country light bar I ordered has an amber drl setting, but I’d still love to use the oem style switch like you did in this video. would you have any advice on how I would wire that up so that the amber DRL runs like your diode ss3 did when they weren’t “on” ? Any help would be appreciated 🙏🏻

@VietHuynh Год назад

In a sense, I need to find a way to convert the 3 way switch that comes with the Rough Country (on, off, drl) to the oem style switch button. I’d like for the drl setting to turn on as default kind of like my raptor lights.

@T4Rgarage Год назад

@@VietHuynh You can purchased a Cali Raised OEM “dual function switch” that has “white/amber”. It’s just like the switch I used but it has two switches in one. Or you could use a “T-tap” connector to tap into the Raptor lights to trigger your amber light bar drl to come on with your raptor lights. I personally would go with the OEM dual switch though.

Hello, what is the number to buy the switch. Why is the one I bought bigger and it didn't fit?

@michaelfrymus 11 месяцев назад

Do I need a rely for every light accessory I get?

@daviddierking4214 8 месяцев назад

Yes, unless you control power to the lights with a high current rated switch. Aircraft (mil spec) toggle switches are available rated to 20amps but they’re not anything like the inexpensive switches commonly sold at auto parts stores. The OEM style switches are usually rated at only 3amps since they only power the relay coil and tiny internal LED light.
