Step 3: Deleted / Removed from build

Rago GMRS / Ham Mount attached to Ditch Light Mount.

The mount will not fit as intended you would need to have it mounted towards the inside so we decided it's a no Go!

Step 4:

Installation of .............@DIODE DYNAMICS C2 2.0 ......... Stay Tuned this weeks completion and full review - Testing

"LIGHT UP THE ROAD"

These Combo/Driving lights are Brighter than my last lightbar!
They have a dim amber mode that we set to the Aux 3 for night time coasting or hanging out at camp, then the Brightness gives way when we engage the Aux 4 and total white light that's well above any standards I have seen or used before....Clear Crisp white light that truly has no distortion or feathering at all.

Installation was very simple thanks to the wire harness we got for Diode Dynamics, the 4 pin heavy duty harness connected to the factory pigtail with ease.
Keeping the installation clean with additional loom and routing the cables via the engine harness for a stealth clean look.

We will add more night time images and outside performance shortly....

***Our next will be the C1R+BRAKE by @Diode Dynamics follow this review as we continue our @Diode Dynamics light builds......

The kit we will be installing is @Diode Dynamics C@ 2.0 Driving Combo Pro Series with the wire harness kit that includes pigtail connections.

Routing the wires on the passenger side behind the plastic inner fender guard.

The power line to the fuse box tied in with the power cable from the hybrid motor.

Routing the cable via the the grill towards the pigtail location.

Loomed the light cables.

The main light cables routed via the existing engine cables for a factory clean look.

@Diode Dynamics harness into the pigtail.

Fuse box used.

Aux 3 is to be used for the backlighted amber (Black pigtail).

Aux 4 used to power main lighting of th eC2 2.0 lights.

Night Shot / Regular

@Diode Dynamics

These are great in backlight mode, not intense at all.

However The moonlight is extremely bright, I could not imagine the MAX

 

[Van Solo]

Im just gonna say these lights remain small in size but great in light output, why would anyone use those large cubes I have no idea?

Inspired by your build.

How did you wire/use both aux 3 & 4 with only one pigtail adapter provided by DD?

 

[Van Solo]

Will do guy's just on vacation. please see images in post for now.
Used the passenger side fuse box and ran power via the rear inlet.
Ground wire to the body.

Pigtails has multiple power feeds and a ground each feed is a separate AUX button.

Inspired by your build.

How did you wire/use both aux 3 & 4 with only one pigtail adapter provided by DD?

Use the Toyota OEM pigtail it has 4 leads each lead offers a separate AUX, in our case we are using the lead that offers Aux 3 & Aux 4

Use Aux 3 amber light output
and Aux 4 Main output

or use the white from pigtail as its ignition on (Amber lights on while vehicle is on)

Thanks for posting this. I am looking into getting these lights. So if I were to get the c2 2.0 max I would need to get the wiring harness too and then mount brackets? Any other stuff?
