What did install look like on this? I didn’t see any instal instructions or a video. Curious before I buy these. Look good to me.

Depends on when you want them on. Most guys tie the grill markers to the side markers, not your highbeams/ drl. Also killing the drls with the bent pin metjod would kill anything wired to them like your markers in this case.
Either way, before you splice, slide the led marker wire along your stock wires and into the back of the plug to test the connection.
LED Grill Mount for 5th Gen Toyota 4Runners
Hey guys, check this out! I found this searching on Facebook. Someone finally found a solution for mounting those round 3/4" LED lights for the 5th gen grill.https://www.gunnscaddshop.com/shop

Ok, got mine done. This was actually my first DIY wiring job. It was actually easier than getting my light bar wiring done, even though that came from a kit.
I went ahead and dremeled the sides so it would be flush with the grill, as per some other posts here. I also spraypainted black the sides that I cut. At first I thought it was going to be a waste of time but I am glad that I did (I would have used heat shrink tubing if I had some though...would have been easier).
I didn't want to wire tap anything so I used the tap-a-fuse back into the interior fuse box. Unlike some other posts....I only needed 1 fuse in the tap-a-fuse and it worked the first time.

I hadn't seen these till I ordered them, I was excited for them because they look good and don't have to zip tie something on,
they were on the expensive side at $60 for a set of three plus shipping, when I got them I thought "man, I'm going to loose at least half of these little nuts and washers putting them in" I took the first one apart and was pleased to find out the screw is what holds them together and the nuts are supplementary, I got one of them in and was getting ready to put the nuts and washers on, I notice they didn't fit as tight as I had wished for, as I was starting to put the washers and nuts on I was pushing on the front to hold it in place and accidentally popped it thru the grill dropping it inside, a little peaved at first I put it back together and tried to just pop them in, worked out fine but still loose and could get shoved out at any time easily enough,
I was at a loss as to what to do.... but looking at them they seem just too thick for my grill, thinking back the web site had some kind of measurement for their use but I ignored it as I always do.
my final fix and am very happy with them now was to put a 14 inch wire tie around the back to take up the slack for them being too thick, I used a 14 inch because it's all I had but mostly for their width, it put them at just the right position to hold them securely in place, not secure enough that they wont come out but enough that they wont just fall out,
now I just have to wire them up

I ordered a set of these a few weeks back but haven't messed with installing them yet. I believe they're only designed to mount in certain holes. Which front grille do you have? Did you try other holes in the grille for fitment?

Looks good, debating if I should do this or not.

Took these last night for you, I was surprised just how bright these things were, they appear to have multiple SMD's inside where I thought it was just 1. These are a lot brighter than I expected and definitely made me want to install them more now. These are the smoked amber lights

Thank you!!!!! I have the GG ones and I have been on the fence about replacing them. But after seeing your pictures I think I’ll just pull the trigger on them.
Thanx!

Yeah, I was on the fence, but when I saw that these were 3D printed I decided to take a chance on them to get a more stealthy look and I think I will like them. Probably install Friday or Saturday, I will post pics
