Be nice to see some plug and play options. I do not consider t splicing into factory wiring plug and play.

Did mine a few weeks ago. Used Oznium led - https://www.amazon.com/BRIGHTEST-Light-Bolt-Interior-Motorcycle/dp/B01ADHUWWA?th=1
Some random washers from the local hardware store and used add a circuit.

I actually took these on Saturday night, they're a lot brighter than I expected

I’m kinda curious about this mod using these lights. Anyone installed these on a Limited? I would only use 2.

Is this the light from autozone?

Great write up. I'm not good with electrical stuff and while I made two trips to auto parts stores, I was at a loss as to what fuse tap to use. Can you put a link to one please? My plan is to follow your post to the T.I didn't really see a good write up on this, so I went through it on my own, so I'll post it here.
First off don't ever use a wire T-Tap on a 40k vehicle, there are always ways around it. Second, I never fuse tap into the under hood fuse box. Toyota's are known for electrical gremlins, so I try to be the least evasive, and always make it so I can return it to stock.
All in all this was fast an easy. It took longer to make this post than to install the lights. I will update if I have any issues.
I used these lights from Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ECTQNF6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Prepped the light tails. No need for fancy connectors.
I used high quality zip ties, I might change to small bolts if I feel like it.
Then I prepped the harness using 18ga, cause that's the smallest I had.
Then covered it in some split loom.
Plugged it all in, and filled the connectors with some di-electric grease.
Then added some electrical tape to the connection areas.
I ran the power wire through the small hole that the hood latch cable goes through. It fits no problem, and I was able to push it through with only hand pressure. I wrapped the area that goes through the firewall with electrical tape for added protection.
Then I got out my Voltage Meter and searched for a switched circuit. I found an unused one that was hot when the ignition was on, but not hot when the key is turned to acc.
I used a fuse tap I got off Amazon. These are nice, because the new circuit is powered through the main fuse, that way you can't overload it, if you were to tap into a circuit that is already in use.
I only had 15amp mini fuses, so I'll have to switch them out to some 3amps tomorrow.
Works great. Much brighter than I thought.
I'm assuming you connected the ground wires together and bolted them to the frame? Can I just use the same bolt as the black from the battery?

Here is a link to the add a fuse circuit thing I used off amazon.
You can use the same ground point that the battery connects to. I had no issues with temporary disconnecting the battery, no weird issues with losing presets or anything like that.

Just found those and will be replacing my zip-tied ones with this solution shortly.

Glad I saw this. Got everything coming. Need to get 3 amp fuses too.

I completed this mod over last weekend. Thanks for all the instruction posts. Went smooth. I connected everything a head of time and only took 30 minutes from start to end. Feeding the red wire through the firewall where the hood release is was a big pain but it worked out well.
I know this mod is on the beginner side of the scale but still feels good to complete it successfully!

If anyone is looking to buy a set from https://www.gunnscaddshop.com/shop let me know.
I have a set I'm not going to use, it has the smoked LEDs.

Is that a SDHQ mount? On the limited the upper mount is just a tad low (it is made for the other trim models). Mine is just slightly higher than that but my light bar might not be as wide as yours. So it may be as high as you can go. You might have to take a look at the mount and see if it will side up any higher.
