PIAA Lights with Tacoma Switch Finally Installed

[bawazir]

Finally got my PIAA 520 ATP lights installed this weekend and hooked up using a Tacoma fog lamp switch in the center console. Thanks to all that provide great advice such as Iron Clad Lou and the great wiring document, and ksneubec with awesome write up (which i used exactly and worked perfectly), and to all who answered my messages/questions.

The setup I have is; the PIAA lights are hooked up to the battery directly and can be turned on without the ignition key in. The Tacoma fog switch is hooked up using ksneubec instructions and the setup has the illumination light in the switch off when the lamps are off, and the illumination light on, when the PIAA lights are on.

Here's a few pics of the install

very nice i like the set up.,, where did u get the Tacoma light switch from ?

thanks

I used the FJ Cruiser auxiliary light switch from trdsparks.com. Search on 2008 FJ Cruiser lighting options. Get the aux light switch and harness. I've got the lamps hooked up to be enabled by the aux light switch and come on/off with the high beams due to legal issues here in MA. I can post a wiring diagram as the high beams are switched on the negative side of the circuit - very common in Japanese autos - requires pin 85 of the relay to take a feed from the red/green wire of the high beam circuit and pin 86 to connect to the aux switch in the console with a 12v supply (acc) on the supply side of the switch. I have mine hooked up so the switch on indicator is ON when the circuit is enabled wether the high beams are on or off- just let's me know that when I hit the high beams the piaa driving lights will come on as well.

What's the part number for that switch?

Are these bull bars drilled for 4 lights or only 2? Could 4 of the lights fit in that space you think?

The Westin bar is drilled for two. The width at the inside top pf the bar is about 23 inches.....PIAA lights are about 6 inches in diameter. Thus if you wanted to add more lights, one more would be the limit. If you want more than three, there are some light bars others on the forum have put on their trucks that really nice.
