only the main normal car 12v battery - it's in the back in the TH. not necessary to mess with the hybrid battery, i wouldn't know where to start but also not necessary.
my message to "the people" is to beware of breaking the fragile and rigid piece of trim around the light console. it's easy...
its funny since this is the simplest mod imaginable - changing a lightbulb - and thus one a lot of people wouldn't hesitate to install, but it caused me the most trouble. cutting into my bumper fascia to install a winch and bumper worked out great, but these lights caused me the only grief. i do...
i have no issues now. i have the TH so no sunroof. i did have to go back in and check all of the connectors to get the window working. i'm guessing it's a simple connector issue. i do like to have the battery disconnected when i do anything electrical. not because its dangerous (it's not) but...

You can access the clutch through the cut-out (HIgh lift jack port?) on the right side of the fairlead. In the picture below, you can see where it says...

Here's part one; Electrical pre-install. Be kind please.

Here's part two: Actual bumper and winch install. I tried to do more editing/speed up of boring parts.
And many thanks to everybody who posted similar install videos before me. You inspired me to record...
