2024 Tacoma Trailhunter (or other hybrid) Ditch Light Install - Anyone done it?

[DeadSetMonkey]

I have a 2024 Trailhunter. I am interested in installing ditch lights.
And have prewired aux switches to use.

1. Anyone done this yet? If so, any write ups?
2. Anyone swapped the actual in dash switch? I'd be intereste in installing one that said "ditch" instead of "aux" on the surface.

Cheers,
Daus

I would be interested as well. I’ve heard that the lights may interfere with the snorkel and hood opening.

Did it on my Trailhunter. I used the front harness, that’s right behind the driver side headlight. It can be hard to find at first, as it’s under some other wiring. I used Aux 3. This isn’t really a write up, but I’m not sure what else there is to say.

Same as the post above, except I used AUX 1. Running the wires in the engine bay is the hardest part. I used the same pigtail connector behind the driver's side headlight.

As for interference with the snorkel, depends on the size of your ditch lights. I would think anything under 3" will be fine. My 3" Rough Country Osrams barely fit while the hood is opened to the first notch (see pic). On the second notch - the one where the hood is open higher (not shown), it will definitely touch. If you're worried about someone accidentally accidently knocking the ditch light into the snorkel, you can try taping the second hole shut with some black duct tape or electrical tape. If it did happen, I don't think it would do any damage, but it would definitely mess up the position of the light in the housing.
