Factory Aux Baja Design Light Installation w/ How-to DIY Video

[24TRDOR]

Made a 10 minute video on how I wired my baja design chase and ditch lights. Thought it might be helpful for those that are looking to do something similar.

Well done!

This is exactly what I wanted to do with my ditch lights. Except for the fact that there's not an actual battery in the engine bay of the hybrids, only a positive terminal inside the passenger side fuse box. And that terminal has a cover, and is flat - you can't just do what you did to hardwire it, unfortunately.

I'm glad you posted this, because maybe you or others can help me wire mine through a fuse tap instead.

I plan on using the same pigtail connector you used for the front, so I'm good there. Everything else looks the same, and I was planning on picking a 15V fuse to use a fuse tap on. Does anyone know which specific fuse I should tap?

Thanks in advance!

You mean 15 amp, not 15v. The 15amp is the black wire on the pigtail. Toyota broke the norm and so for only the pigtails sake, the black wire is the 15amp positive lead, the black/white wire is the negative lead.

Yea my bad, I misspoke a lot on that video. Thanks for the correction.

I was thinking about this and I could be wrong, however on the drivers side fuse box there may be a bolt that connects the power from the battery to the fuse box where you could give your lights power, unsure about solutions for the negative terminal ring end.
