TRD PRO Grill light question(s)

Hey all... I've done some searching on the Gen 3 forum and can't quite find a firm answer..

I just installed a PRO grill and skipped putting lights in before the install. Kicking myself for not investigating lights before the install. Now that it is on the truck, it looks like something is missing.

I really don't want to take the front end off again. Has anyone installed the marker lights and/or a center light bar without removing the front end? Thanks in advance for the assist!

Pic for fun.

 

Does anyone know, is this a simple swap on the 2024 SR5 with the front camera. Even better does anyone have pics of a 2024 SR5 swap?

 

Thanks @ryanwgregg . Appreciate it.

 

It's a pretty straightforward swap on any trim, this is my 24 SR5

 

For the lightbar, there's no way to install it on the vehicle. The problem on the marker lights is going to be mounting. The OEM marker lights are on backorder with no ETA, apparently they're being redesigned. You may be able to remove the top bolts from the radiator shutter to get access to install the marker lights but would be a major PITA. All of the aftermarket marker lights are loose, some come with double sided sticky tape, but I wouldn't trust that on the front since it's exposed to all the elements. I bought a set of marker lights on Amazon that were the correct shape as the OEM and then used a piece of 3/16" angle aluminum to mount them to. I did use the OEM light bar, it was considered a special order electrical item so I had no choice but to use it. It has a plug that works off the CAN bus system, probably to be able to use it with only the high beams. I had to drill a hole in the back and use some angle pliers to disconnect the power plug from the circuit board and wire directly into it to be able to turn it on and off when I wanted it to. I cut out some abs and superglued it to the hole I drilled and then for good measure hot glued over the top of that to seal it back up. There are several aftermarkets that offer a bolt in mounting kit and light bar that will fit as well.

 

I did the marker lights without any extra work. The pro grille has huge gaps that let me squeeze and angle things just right

 

Where did you guys get the TRD Pro Grill? How much was it and was the install easy? I’m thinking of swapping out the stock grill on my SR5.

Can't help you with the install..

 

Lots of good videos out there. This is one from Diode Dynamics. Only basic tools required. Having a plastic trim removal tool is the only "nice to have" but not necessary, helps to prevent breaking clips. It's fairly easy to do, just make sure you have a place to put the grille/front end to prevent from scratching.

 

Awesome. Thank you for the tips.
