    Hi looking at where I can connect the wires to the raptor lights on the grille. If somebody has a detailed description of how they wired them up that would be great. Either wiring them up when the headlights go on or having them on with my running lights
    Thanks!

    I used a fuse tap and tapped into the IGN fuse under the hood. I wanted them on with my ignition.

    Shit, I'd have to go look at it. I also ended up running my LED TRD Pro headlight DRLs into the same circuit, so I probably went up in size.

    I don't remember what was in there before but the tap has 2 10s in it. This tap came with the headlight conversion harness.

    Fuse tap to whichever fuse you want. I wanted mine on as soon as truck is on so I used IGN, I also wired in a switch so I can turn off when I want while the truck is on

    You could almost certainly get away with a 2.5a or 5a fuse. |

    That said, if you want "cRaptor" lights, get a cRaptor. Just my opinion, of course!

    It came with my headlight harness but I believe it's this one.

    First time on here, I read a lot from this forum- so thank you all. (2010 RW)
    Im in question about my fuse tap situation for the led “raptor lights.” Im currently running morimoto headlights and my add-a-fuse is already using IGN w/a 3A fuse for the DRLs that came with the headlights. I want my “raptor lights” on with the DRLs, am I able to splice on to the DRLs and increase fuse to 5A? I would tap into the next 10A INJ or EFI NO.2 but they are both in the way of my current add-a-fuse.
    Thoughts?
