The AUX switch connector is right next to where the wires connect for the LED's. on the side of the grille driver's side front of grille. Very easy and quick mod!

Thank you!

And now I need a set. Smh. Would you all recommend getting 5 and selling my TRD upgrade wheels as a set of 5, or just doing 4 and 4?

If you plan to do 5 tire rotations, then obviously all 5 should match.

Gerardo makes a good point about having the same offset. However, our ORP has 4 optional PIO TRD Black wheels that are 18x8" with +45 offset. The spare is still the standard ORP wheel (with silver ring) which is 18x7.5" with +55 offset. I won't do 5 tire rotations.

Rave Off Road

Do not buy these mirror caps from Rave. I just ordered a set from them and realized I could’ve ordered them for $100 less on a Toyota dealer parts website. There’s nothing special about. Rave they literally drop shipped them from a Toyota dealer.

Thanks, good to know. Edited post.

And this was their response when I called them out on it. So, like I said, save yourself money if you’re gonna replace your mirror cap and buy them directly from a Toyota parts dealer where you can typically get coupons or discounts.

Their customer service really upset me when I reached out with issues. Stuff happens but you gotta take care of customers when they have issues/concerns/questions. I did not appreciate it at all.

Well, it was my mistake for not doing more research. Capitalism at its finest. They buy a product from Toyota, mark it up and resell it. 100% my fault for falling for it.

I don't see the problem with this, most people are not in the forums or know how to research parts. Heck even the dealerships don't know everything. Yes they are making money but that is typical with the middleman, do you expect them to provide a link to a cheaper source on their own product page? The product page does say "Genuine OEM Toyota Parts", that would be setting off bells in my head.

I think it would be a different story if they were removing the labels or repackaging OEM items as their own. Hard to take a side when you only show one part of the conversation as well. You paid the "didn't do research" tax, it looks like good customer service to me offering you a refund.

Just my 2 cents.

I got impatient and mounted the weaksauce factory tires on the Trailhunter wheels.

100%. That’s why I commented that it was on me for not doing the research. My original reply though was to warn people to just directly to Toyota and get them and not these guys.

Agreed. Valid points. My issue wasn’t related to the mirror caps for what it’s worth. Still think you’ve gotta have some better empathy when dealing with customers, right or wrong.
I’m relatively new to Toyotas, will they also offer OEM painted fenders at some point? And/or does anyone know what painted parts Toyota sells direct?

From my experience you’ll have to go on Toyota parts and just search line by line for them. Or try AI/google.

I need to up my AI game. Great idea! I guess I could take the end of the item code from the mirrors and search for that to see what comes up.

Love the wheels. Do you happen to know the Toyota part number for the Trailhunter wheels? I’m thinking of getting a set for the future.
