Grill marker lights in stock grill. (raptor lights)

I always like the look of the three Amber lights in the grill of the Raptors, and wanted to adapt it into my Toyota tundra. I didn’t wanna fork out the money for the TRD pro grill, so I found an option that works with my stock tundra grill. I was browsing on Amazon and found these marker lights for a Ford raptor grill. I measured the stock grill and on the Amazon link, it shows the measurements of these lights. It seems like it would fit. I went ahead and purchased these lights, and when I got them, it turns out that they did fit snugly into the honeycomb shaped grill. But the big problem was how was I going to attach the lights to the grill? I made the tough decision to epoxy glue the lights into the grill. I put some dodgy looking blobs of blue on the sides of the light to the grill. They seem to hold strong and continued to wire them up in the truck. They were great, and they look awesome! It was a plug-in-play harness that replaced the ignition fuse with a split fuse, and ran that to the lights. That means when the truck turns on the lights turn on when the truck turns off the lights turn off. No switch involved.
I hope this helps with anyone looking to add these type of lights to their tundra.

 

Nice!

Welcome

 

Excellent addition. Saw your post and this was what I was looking for. Ordered two kits and installed 5 lights similar to your install. I put the flat portion of the light on the bottom and used black angle brackets in the top part of the grill to cable tie the wires. I secured the light tabs with a drop of super glue and activator. Determined if I need to replace a light it comes off clean. I installed the 3 center lights similar to yours but only left one space between the three center lights. I then left 3 spaces to the outside light. Looks excellent. I see you used the ign circuit any reason you did not tap into one of the DRL fuses? Thanks again for the post. Love the look.

 

I used the ign fuses cause the kit came with the ign fuses splice. Both options work to run those marker lights

 

I thought I saw lights that snap into the Tacoma grille and they look like they would fit the Tundra honeycomb grill too? I looked at the set u used but I wanted mine in the bulge grille. It looks like you did a good job. I also tapped mine into the IGN fuse.

 

Where or which one is the DRL fuse? I did mine and searched and searched on here and couldnt find it. Mine is a '19 though. A few posts told me not to bother with the DRL's as they have a H/L and could mess things up. IDK.

 

Mine were listed in the top of the fuse box. In my 2021 there is a line of fuses where the IGN fuse sits. There is one closest to the fender and then the IGN is a 10 amp and then another fuse. A few fuses up from the IGN fuse is the DRL fuses. I believe these are the daytime running lights (eyebrows) that surround my headlight. They are listed as DRL L and DRL R. I did use the IGN fuse with a tap a circuit just as Mike did. That tap a fuse came with the lights. I looked and looked for a kit for the honeycomb grill and did not find a good fit. One possible option was a kit for 120 dollars for three lights That was not an option. Initially I bought rectangular lights, bullet lights but could not make it look OEM. My intention was to put it in the bulge. Mike's build was exactly what I was looking for. I also wanted to put in the bulge but after looking at how it has to be torn apart I did not want to destroy the front bulge grill. Also one day I want to put in the NSV light bar in that place.
