    K&N cold air. Leveling kit. Hooked Road front and rear bumper. Some after market leads in the bed and after market LED fog lights on the old chrome bumber.
    Thanks for the acceptance everyone. I own a 2012 Tundra SR5 Texas edition 4x4 Crewman.
    I love my Tundra. I purchased it used through USAA. It came with some aftermarket led fog lights. Unfortunately I ran over a ladder in the road. Damaged the dront bumper at the driver side fog light and plastic above the bumper. 3/16" from hitting the air bag sensor. Thank God!
    So I have the Hooked road front and rear . Both bumpers cam with 18w LEDs. 2 on the rear and 4 on the front.
    So my question is 2 parts. As far as the rear. Should I just hook the up to my back up lights? Or run another relay and switch for the rear?
    The front came with 4 18w LEDs. 2 on each side. Since there is wiring for the old led foglights and can't find the proper connector. Can I wire the 2 on the left and the 2 on the right in series? Connect the red and black and add extra shielded 18 Guage to connect to the old plug. Which requires me to cut the old LED for lights so the connector can be connected again. Or do I cut off the plug from the after market plug and straight up solder and heat shrink together.
    I appreciate anyone's comment on this before moving forward.
    Thanks again everyone.

    You could use the factory wiring but it will limit the output of your lights by the amount of power it can pull from the wire. I've always ran a relay and direct power from the battery for all of my lights. Either way you do it you can run all 4 in series on the front and 2 in series on the back.
