Ditch Lights recommendations?

[Timmybung]

Did you hook the ditch lights to the oem switches

Yes. Backlight to Aux 5 and the lights themselves to Aux 3.

Yup, I got the ditch light set, roofrack bar light, back up lights and the fourth slot is where I am undecided between rock lights or scene lighting.

Is the pre-wired stuff already run to the battery so you just need to plug in the pigtail to the lights and no power or ground to the battery in the rear?

So you have the backlight on at all times?

You splice them into the OEM pigtails for the Aux circuits. Pigtails are plugged in either under the dash kick panel on the driver's side or under the hood.

When the 4Runner is on, yes.

Nice. I was also going to go Diode since I've used their LEDs in the past. Which kit did you end up running from them?

Do you remember what the wires in the kit go to on the switch?

I got the westcott brackets and Morimoto 4Bangers.

I’m glad to see someone running the morimoto 4bangers! How do you like them? Did you go with the Hxb or the NCS?

I went with the HXB. I really like them. They're super bright but a nice tone of amber. I had to use the on a really rainy foggy night and the cut through the mess with no issues. And they arent super big. I didnt want anything getting in the way of my field of vision.

Honestly I was told by a buddy who access to a lot of these big name brands at a discount he would still just buy Amazon stuff if it's just an off road light. Most last as long may not be quite as bright but plenty bright and way cheaper. If it's something used on my the road and needs sae certifications to be legal then the big brands are the way to go.

You buy on Amazon you better swap out the mounting hardware. Even here in the desert they rust.
