    I have a 2014 CM SR5 Tundra. I have replaced the headlights and taillights with Spyder lights, replaced the 3rd light with LED, and replaced the grill with one that has LED markers. Everything worked perfectly until I added Rigid industries style Cree LED fog lights. Now my running lights and fog lights don't work. I have checked fuses (under dash and engine boxes), relays, and even replaced the light switch in the steering column. Hi\low beam headlights, turn signals, hazards, brake lights, cargo lights, interiors all work. The license plate lights, taillights, front running lights, or fogs will not come on. Turning the switch to DRL or headlights on illuminates everything interior wise as it should. Am I missing or overlooking something?

    They were eBay bought. Just led lights and fog light brackets. I hooked them up direct in place of factory fogs, and they worked for awhile. Now I don't have fogs or runners. I unplugged them and made a relay harness, which is what I should have done in the first place.

    They were 12W each. I took the old fogs out, cut off the plug, and installed the led fogs with new plugs. Passenger side was pink and white\black, driver was blue and white\black wires. When I turned the switch on, everything illuminated. A couple days later I has a gentleman flag me to let me know my taillights were out. After checking, I discovered my current problem. Might there be something that powers both running and fogs? Its a possibility I could have missed a fuse or something. I checked the taillight fuse, fog light fuse, and fog light relay. All were good. Any other ideas?

    Multiple fuses blew that was a dumb moment for me I messed around with the fuse box for so long.... fuse blew under the wheel. And in under the hood. If u can't figure it out I'll look later and tell u exactly which ones. I think what happened was the one under hood blew after I tested them all i replaced that one then it blew the one under the wheel so it took me way too long to figure it out

    @Alexstundra -- Any specific direction you can give would be tremendously helpful. I"m completely at my wit's end. I've replaced the tail light fuse under the steering wheel, but every time I turn on the head lights I can hear the fuse blow. thank you

    Ok I think it's the 7.5 under the hood next to the big 30 one. And under hood it's the 15 fog. Honestly I changed a few and messed with a few things so I'm not 100% but check them both or change then both. Also take out fuse and look st it.

    Let me know if it doesn't work. I'll look harder but I think it was something simple like that. Which I overlooked and had to bring to Toyota for them to put fuses 80 to look 20 to fix fuses lol so trying to avoid u having to do that. It just took me so long I gave up. But atleast I met a cool employee who told me to only go to them bc she will overlook all the aftermarket parts I installed. :muscleflexing:

    @Alexstundra Yahoooo!!!!!! It was the tail light and IGN fuse that were blown. It also blew out the spyder tail lights for some reason. I tested by putting back the stock tail light and it all worked. All seems to be a secondary issue. Didn't realize the tundra was so finicky. JJust glad to be back on the road with everything working. Thank you all for your suggestions!
