Grille Interchangeable?

Just got an email that my Grille is on back order….. FML.
Those who have it in transit, what website did you use?

 

he has 100% positive and I physically have it in my hand so it is definitely legit. Just haven’t tested it to see functionality yet.

 

could you post a picture of the connection?
Maybe we can figure out a part number and make a wiring harness for it

 

doesn’t really matter who you order it through at this point. When I ordered on Monday there was only 2 available in the country. I have 1 arriving tomorrow and the second one I ordered by accident is still processing, most likely back ordered though. I got lucky with my first order that I placed on Saturday.

 

How do you plan on connecting the light?

 

I honestly thought there was only going to be 3 or 4 wires and wire it up like any other led bar, but now I will have to figure out what the other pins do.

 

Same, definitely throws a wrench in the plans

 

I bet it's part of the Toyota system that only turns it on when the high beams are active.

normal light bar wired independently I think you just operate a simple switch

 

Any updates? Don’t even know where to start with wiring when mine comes in tomorrow

 

Holy cow, Batman! That's an expensive harness!

You can buy just the housing the run the pins & wires yourself with a little YouTube help.

The connector itself is only like $10-$15.

Saw that, but pretty sure that’s the part number for just the connector and they just added the wires. You’ll still have to figure out where all those wires should eventually hook up to.

All I need is to figure out which end I can connect to my positive terminal and which to ground, assuming that it’ll still work that way and doesn’t need to “talk” to the truck.

 

Is there not a wiring harness already run to the grill that isn't plugged into anything? I know a lot of manufacturers used do things like that; wire every vehicle the same for accessories. Example: The wiring harness for fog lights would be there, but just have no fog lights/housings installed if your vehicle wasn't optioned like that. It used to make adding factory options after the fact a fairly easy thing to do.

I'm guessing someone has looked and nothing's there?

 

The wiring diagram that ryanwgregg posted tells where each pin goes.

Pin#
1. Battery
2. Semiconductor Power Integration ECU
3. Sin+ LED illumination switch
4. SWV+ LED illumination switch
5. Can+ Network Gateway ECU
7. Ground
8. Sin- LED illumination switch
9. SWV- LED illumination switch
10. Can- Network Gateway ECU

Makes me wander if just hooking power and ground to a switch will make it even work.

 

Will try it tomorrow and let y’all know!

 

^This....we need to do some checking. There is unused plugs in my SR, but I am unsure if that is for a camera or what. The lack of wiring diagrams available for the platform is annoying.

 

Is there a schematic that shows wiring diagram by trim? Mainly looking to understand if Toyota used 1 wiring harness for all trims/options.

 

Assuming that you are getting the TRD grill then absolutely (I did it 2 + weeks ago), the TRD Pro version I can only assume is exactly the same tabs/screw points, etc., just a different front design and of course you have the issue with the camera mount if you have PVM

 

Grille has arrived! Just waiting on the light now

 

2 Things:

1. Can you take a pic of the back side of the grill? - Curious what the mounting area for the light bar looks like and if I can fabricate something to make an aftermarket light bar to work there.
2. Do you have a front camera or are you going to cut that camera mount off?

 

There’s the back. I don’t have a camera, but I plan on keeping the camera bracket in case a 3rd party camera comes to market and I can maybe find a way to mount it there

 

I am hopeful. What is the part number?

 

Check earlier in the thread my dude. See below.

 

Thanks

 

Connecting the power and ground didn’t turn the lights on. May just install it now and wait for a proper harness to be released later

 

photo of the light mounted to the grille. It sticks out pretty significantly on the back. Not sure if that’ll interfere with anything when trying to install

 

Interesting. Definitely curious now how it mounts up with the active shutters for the grill.

 

Do you have a part number for the LED light bar?

 

All of your questions have been answered earlier in the thread. Referenced it above
