    Hi Everyone,
    I was cleaning my Tundra the other day and found these wire that were hanging loose under the dash Under the driver side. Everything appears functional on this car but I would like help Identifying these wires. I am the first and only owner of this Tundra and there are no aftermarket stuff on this car.

    Does the brake light cone on the dash when you press down the parking brake? Might be wires from something aftermarket at one point

    Best to crawl up under the dash and see if you can find where it goes to. I’d reckon something aftermarket honestly.

    What year is the truck? Did it have a dealer installed alarm as an option when you bought it? I’ve seen some dealers rip the cheap alarms out if you don’t opt to purchase the alarm.

    ^I concur, what year is the truck?
    Off the top of my head I'd guess that is for the little floorboard light bulb on the driver's side.
    Do you have that light?

    I tapped into that circuit to run my mirror puddle lights and several floorboard LEDs.
    I'd have to get under the dash and see if they are the same color as yours.

    But on second thought, those wires of yours look to be a lot closer to the parking brake.
    That floorboard light was more centered over the brake pedal from what I remember..

    That was it! Thanks for everyone's help. Guess I never noticed that my footwell was dark, but then again, don't drive at night often.

    Anyone know the Part number?

    Looks like I will need the socket, the wires are ripped out from there. Looks like a generic socket but I can't see toyota charging too much.

    Glad you got it figured out.

    As @Opus5150 stated, you might as well add some foot well lights instead of replacing it with stock.
    The little stock bulb barely lights anything up.
    vleds makes some good stuff, I can't remember which strips I ended up using.

    Even if you just do the driver's side, find a nice self stick LED strip and put it there.
    I ended up using my 3M molding tape because most of the self stick LED tape peters out in the summer heat.
    I don't have any pics of the actual lights under the dash, but here is the light they provide even during the day.

    I can take some pics of the strips if you need them./
