Toyota lights upgrade kit (1 Viewer)

[cruiserboy14]

I’m finally installing the new oem upgrade kit I purchased awhile ago. It looks simple, but I am confused about how to route the drivers side light plug? Over the engine? Across the front, in front of the radiator? It’s not long enough to follow the oem harness into and out of the cab.. any pictures would be very appreciated And also let me run this by everyone so I make sure I do this right: I insert plug A (new harness) into plug B (old harness light plug) . Correct? I tried doing a search but just came up with mentions and praise for the kit. Thanks for any help.

FWIW - I routed mine below the radiator, as well as taking a few feet out of the harness as well, see post #134 & #141 < click here > >

If you drop the bib, there is a nice place to run the harness.

@Green Bean do you happen to have a picture?

What do people do to replace the plastic adjustment nut plate? Just left left Toyota And they are NLA. (Picture)

Also got another light kit for the parts shelf..

Here is a pic showing front bib down for tucking away the harness. There are bendable metal retention tabs on the bottom.

Yes, vehicle headlight plug B to harness male plug A. I used the pass side plug and ran the driver side harness plug under the rad and between the rad support. I shortened the harness considerably in spots.
