Fuse/relay electrical box under the hood
Does anyone know how to take apart the electrical box under the hood, any ideas? I would like to access the high beam relay from the back so I can use it as trigger my new led light bar, I think it'll make for a cleaner install. Its on a 2011 4Runner Limited. Thanks

You do not want to take that box apart...

Agreed.

A few have tried and then changed their minds and found another way.

I'm convinced you have to use voodoo.

I've tried. For hours. I got the easy bits out but I would never attempt to take the rest apart unless it was a spare box because stuff is very likely to break.

I don't give up on taking stuff apart usually. This thing is ridiculous though.

Yep, same here. I have had to do a bunch of welding right under the fuse box, so I spent hours (several times) trying to remove it. I'm usually pretty good at stuff like that, but never have got the damn thing out.

If you nor Antman can figure it out then it cannot be done.
