    We bought our first Toyota this past weekend. 2015 TRD Pro CM. I don't think these switches are factory, but can anyone confirm this? I cannot find where to tie into them. I have not pulled the dash apart to gain access to the back side of them. They do have a green LED that turns on when you turn the switch on so they obviously have a power supply to them. I was hoping to find some clearly aftermarket wires near one of the fuse boxes but I had no luck looking there. They do not appear to turn anything on so whatever was tied to them has been removed.. Any help would be appreciated.

    That’s the NSV Knight Rider light bar. It’s in the hood bulge up front, I’m surprised you didn’t see the lights go on, unless it’s not working.

    It appears that someone has removed it and left the wiring. Thanks for the help.

    Under the USB AUX cover should be some plugs you can use to keep phone charged. Maybe it still works if you want to plug something in to test it.

    This actually works out perfect. I could care less about the light bar, but I'm a firefighter so I need to install blue strobe lights on the front and back of the truck.. This will be a perfect place to tie into some power and already have a switch installed in the cab.

    The NSV has a strobe feature that is possible with re-pinning wires. I suppose you could slap on colored tint so you could use it if out on a call.
