Install Lightbar on Hybrid Tundra

Has anyone tried to install a lightbar on their Tundra hybrid? Since the battery pack is under the seat, what is the best way to run the wire to the backseat?

 

Same question. I ordered my DD Lightbar and want to know if anyone with the hybrid wired to the positive post in the engine bay

 

Is there not any sort of remote battery hookup/possible jump location under the hood. Seems like there would have to be something somewhere under the hood. Maybe some sort of a terminal block/junction where the main positive wire runs up front?

 

I ran a switch pros system into the back storage/ battery box and ran everything to there. I thought about the jump terminal on the truck, but didn’t want to risk frying anything. I was the first person to do anything with a hybrid so all trial and luckily no error

 

I'm looking to install the TRD Pro grille and a light bar, but all the installation vids I've seen are for the non hybrid. Has anyone seen any installation instructions for Hybrid models running the wires to the back seat battery and then a OEM type switch back to the panel? Do the light bars come with enough wire specific for the hybrid or do I need to splice in extra wire?

 

having this issue as well? any update for the hybrid folks?

 

There is a positive post in the fuse box. I put my pos there and neg on the bolt next to it.

 

Do you remember if its on the passenger or driver side? I noticed there's a box on each side.

 

I am deciding on ordering the DD combo for the grill light? What is everyone's thoughts on it? Was comp templating ordering the stealth light kit as well or just swapping out the fogs for DD for a more OEM look.

Would love to hear yalls feedbacks as BF sales should be popping up soon.

 

Pass side.


I got a driving for the grille and a combo for the stealth, as well as the fogs.

DD has a duel harness. I used this for both bars on one switch. Wiring is fairly clean. Probably could have done slightly better, but I’m okay with it.

 

Did the fogs make a big difference? Worth the upgrade over stock fogs? I am assuming you went white on grille & stealth?

 

I did white on everything.
The DD fog lights are significantly better. I will say though, they do not have a sharp cut off and glare a bit. BAJA Has an sae set that have a sharp cutoff, but are less wide.
I’d recommend them. Great for my needs.

 

Thanks for the feedback! I would love the BAJA sets but there definitely out of my price point!

Do you have any pics of your setup?

 

Pics...you know this

 

here one before the color matched surround was put on. I’ll try and get one the next few days haha.

 

Here my wiring. Most of the wiring follows an oem wiring harness. The exposed red and black will be put into loom and routed with the wiring harness that goes under the air box. I had to redo the wiring after the shop ripped it out instead of using the quick disconnect (they’re for my marker lights)

the light bar harness goes under the cowl on the passenger side where the relay is mounted with a nut and bolt. Then the harness goes inside the cowling near the windshield across to the driver side.

again it’s not perfect, and I could have done better but I’m happy enough with it.

 

Would you happen to have a pic of that positive post in the fuse box? I can see the positive jumper cable location but I'm not sure about the post.

 

I don’t. But it’s the only one in the left side.

 

I just installed the pro grill from Yota Expedition. Came with raptor lights and a grill lightbar. https://yotaxpedition.com/products/pro-front-grille-tundra-2022-2025
I ran the raptor lights into a 5A fuse for power on passenger side fuse box, piece of cake (minus having to run wire into top of fuse box since no way to pull from below in the hybrid). In the instructions, YotaExp powers the lightbar with the positive terminal on the battery right next to fuse box. Since my hybrid battery is in the back, i pulled the positive into the fuse box as well. I connected it to a 50A that was unmarked in the diagram. The lightbar powers up fine, but when i shut the truck off it stays on unless i hit the switch (and the switch red green indicator is always on). Is there a different power source you used that flips on and off with truck ignition?
