None of that changes the fact that they serve no purpose on a 4Runner other than to those who like the look for whatever reason.

Are they also going to install the back up warning beep?

I'm looking into that for the 4Runner. Any ideas?

I guess I'm a goober then since I still like the look of the lights whether they serve a purpose or not. I think that goes for any aesthetic mod people do to their cars, to make it appealing to themselves. Thankfully with the exception of passing DEUS-MACH1NA on I-5 somewhere in Seattle, I may not be offending any of your non-goober eyes when I finally figure out how to mount these things.

Throw a hood “bug deflector” and an American flag window decal on there to round things out.
When you get bored again, hit up Victory for a sweet rear ladder to hold your Rotopax fuel container.
I kid. Life is short. Do what ya want. The more people tacking on that junk just make me appreciate mine all the more.

LOL, I'll have the best functional-looking mall crawler out there at that point.

Curious to see where your final placement ended and how they look at night. I am running into the same issue since I do not have a PRO grille in mine. Share current pic(s)?

Here is what I did with mine. It is double sided tape underneath the horizontal piece.

It's interesting to note that Ford does not have "Raptor Lights" on F-150 Raptors outside of North America. They blank them out. That should tell you something right there
I'm sure Ford designers get a bit of a giggle when they see all these Toyotas rolling around with a design element they were forced to implement.

I never went back to modify them to work on the upper grille and put it low on my priority list. There's another thread, Raptor Lights 2020 4Runner, where some guys got them to work though and they have a few pics up on the last page.

I didn’t even know they sold the Raptor in any other country but there you go. It’s driven by legal necessity.
Never mind Ford engineers, I crack up when I see it.

Wiring
Hi I’m pretty new to the 4Runner scene. I picked up some raptor light as well. Can anyone tell/show me where we can plug in the wire/fuse. I have a 2020 sr5 premium and every video and DIY shows the cabin fuse box, however mine is not have the same fuse box layout. Can some one help point me to the right direction please?

If you mod your 4Runner to be wider than 80"... you too could be legally mandated to add identification lamps!
So get some 2" fender flares and you can totally justify it. ;)

I believe if you go into the cabin you need to use the TAIL slot in the 2020's

I'm playing around with placement, what are your guy's thoughts? Has anyone else mounted them around the TSS and can share a pic? Any option besides buy a Pro grille at the moment is open.
Thanks

Hi jtgrinsell, how did you hook up your raptor light? I tried using the tail fuse slot and it didn’t work for some reason. I have the 2020 sr5 premium and the fuse box looks a bit different from everyone else’s.
