    Wanting to install 3 of these lights into my grille and I honestly have no earthly idea on how or where I'm supposed to connect these. Anyone know of any video or posts with instructions would be nice. Thanks

    They connect to the Raptor switch.


    Sorry, I'm sure someone on here will be able to help you out. When you say connect, do you mean wire up, or physically where to mount them?

    Nope sorry Toby, I hate raptors and would never try purposely making my truck look like 1 lol. In all seriousness I just have a 30 inch Baja designs s8 lightbar in my bumper that has amber backlighting. Looks somewhat similiar I guess, but no I did not do this mod. Lot of guys have and on TC fb I've even seen people selling it all put together for pretty cheap. Just goes in mesh part of bulge. Comes with mesh part, lights, and wiring for p&p. Price was very cheap, think like 75, if not was around 100. Good luck that's best I can help. If I was going to disrespect my tundra trying to make it look like a raptor that would be the route I'd go lol.

    Just to prove mine comes from S8 and not trying to make it look like raptor here's my proof lol

    Mount them in the grill with 3m tape. Wire them to your side marker lights so the come on anyone your running lights come on. Use some type if quick connect so you can remove the grill easily. Very simple mod

    lol, my deepest apologies. I either had you confused with someone else or just remembered 3 amber lights in the front. :sorry:
    I am not a fan of this mod either, possibly because I hate F150's.

    Lol no worries Toby, no offense taken. I'm guessing u probably remember seeing the s8's amber backlight. At times, on the certain angle it could look like 3 small dots. Although I think the amber lights in bulge look good, I decided since every single person at my job drives pickups all but 2 being ford and dodges, probably 30 trucks in all, with all the shit being talked about who's truck is best and worst, there's no way I could ever do anything to my tundra to make it look even remotely similiar to any other make, I would never hear the end of it and it would open the flood gates of how I wish I had a raptor. Therefore, even if I wanted to, which I don't, there's just no way I could do it.

    U probably saw a pic like this where it looks like 3 dots like the raptor style led bulbs.

    In actuality it's a bunch more than 3. They just group together with the appearance of 3 even though there's 9 in 3 groups.
