Thanks for posting this thread.

I recently traded in my 2018 TRD Off road, for a 2020 TRD off road, different color. But I had the three Amber led lights from Scoutofmind Amber LED Grille Lights 4Runner Wiring Harness | YotaLeds.com 4Runner Amber LED Wiring Harness Installation Guide - Scout of Mind[/url]). It’s a pretty straight forward install on the 2018. You tie them on the grill with zip ties, the harness provided has a ground that goes on the side of the battery and you have to push the rest of the wiring through the firewall rubber grommet into the cabin. You have to use the open fuese slot #14 to plug in the lights and that’s all. The lights turn on when you turn on the car and stay on all the time until you shut it off.

But on the 2020, there is no open fuse slot #14. Mainly because of all the added electronic systems on the new model. I reach out to the Scout team, but they told me to find an open slot and that would suffice, but that’s not the case on the 2020. But by process of elimination I was able to find a good place for them, but you’ll have to do away with the power adapters in the truck. I don’t use them mainly because I use the USB ports for my iPhone. Hopefully some else has another way to power the lights.

Hope this helps anyone.

Several companies now advertise Raptor grille lights for the 2020's:

4Runner]404 Not Found – Overland Depot Raptor Light Kit Amber LED – Overland Depot

Grille Lights for 2014-2020 Toyota 4Runner
– Runnin 4 Tacos


* Any pictures of smoked amber Raptor grill lights on a 4Runner?

.

$75+ for these kits?!? Yikes.

I stand by my less than $20 set that have held up great.

So I just bought the lights for my 2020 from Overland Depot.

I saw their installation video on Youtube so I installed them and got all the way to adding the wire to the inside fuse box and ... bam, fuses are completely different for the 2020.

I ended up putting it in the TAIL spot but that only lights them up when I actually turn the lights on. Does anyone know which spot in this image would be ok to put this in to have them running when the vehicle is turned on like the DRLs?

Thanks!

I used the 10A KDSS spot, I have an SR5p which does not have KDSS so felt safe piggy backing that one

Ok cool. I saw that and know I don't have KDSS but in the back of my mind I was like "it came from the factory, they should know there's no KDSS.. must be required for something".

I'll be doing that then. Thanks much!!!

Seems like they put all the fuses in the 2020. I wonder if they just use the same fuse boxes on all models to save $. I had an 18 before and that one had several empty spots

I’ve been looking at doing this mod for a while.
Decided to take the plunge and see if I liked it or not.
Bought the following items:
Smoked marker lights, relay, AOB DRL switch and required 2 amp fuses, connectors and wire. VHT smoke lens paint to paint 2 coats on the already smoked lights to give them a more stealth look even when lit.

I think they came out really good.
They are totally black when not on and not overly bright when lit.
Night shot inserted.

[EDIT] Exchanged messages with vendor and 1) the 5A fuse is correct as supplied, and 2) an updated instruction vid is published stating 5A and not 15A. [/EDIT]



It's been a couple months so let's add another post or two to the thread!

I actually have my grill lights installed using the under hood fuse block approach. It's an "add a fuse" system plugged into a 10A location. Works just fine.

What I don't know is electric systems, at all.
My "add a fuse" is in a 10A slot per the instructions. The two spots on the "add a fuse" have the 10A fuse (which was originally provided in the fuse box) and a 5A fuse (orange in color) that came from the vendor in the "add a fuse" wiring. The vendor installation video says "15A" fuse...... This is the discrepancy I am trying to resolve.
Am I preparing for a fire, frequent shorts, or what? Should I swap the 5A for a 15A, or is the 5A fine? I ask because I've been told that going too large a number on these fuses can also be bad if the system wasn't designed for it (so don't put a 30A in there for example).

Thoughts/Guidance? Thanks.

Does anyone know which wire is the "dash light" on one of the factory switche on the left of the steering column.
I'm trying to get the backlight for my aftermarket button from one of the existing factory switches instead of doing a add a fuse.

You want a fuse just over the rated current draw. That fuse is your short circuit protection. Going too high of a fuse will defeat its purpose.
Hope this helps.
